Answer:

32 bottles

Explanation:

If we create a free body diagram on the child we have his weight and the bouyant force

W-B=0

They must be equal to mantain equilibrium on the body and he can stay floating, this force is equivalent to the weight of water displaced

W=B=Ww

Mg=mg

32 kg=mass of water displaced

1 kilogram per liter (kg/L) is the density of water, this means that 32 Liters of water are displaced and since the bottles can retain 1 liter, the child needs 32 bottles

Two trains, each having a speed of 28 km/h, are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 60 km/h fli
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The value is D =  70.71 \ km

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of each train is v =  28 \  km/h

The speed of the bird is v_1 =  60 \  km/h

The distance between the trains is d =  66 \  km

Generally the time taken before the collision occurs is mathematically represented as

t =  \frac{d}{2 * v}

=> t =  \frac{66 }{2 *  28}

=> t = 1.18 \  h

The total distance covered by the bird is mathematically represented as

D =  v_1 *  t

=>   D =  60 * 1.18

=>   D =  70.71 \ km

F. If the shuttle's period is synchronized with that of Earth's rotation, what is the height of the shuttle? (1 day = 8.64x104s,
oee [108]

Answer:

1.324 × 10⁷ m

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration, a at that height above the earth equal the acceleration due to gravity, g' at that height, h.

Let R be the radius of the orbit where R = RE + h, RE = radius of earth = 6.4 × 10⁶ m.

We know a = Rω² and g' = GME/R² where ω = angular speed = 2π/T where T = period of rotation = 1 day = 8.64 × 10⁴s (since the shuttle's period is synchronized with that of the Earth's rotation), G = gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg², ME = mass of earth = 6 × 10²⁴ kg. Since a = g', we have

Rω² = GME/R²

R(2π/T)² = GME/R²

R³ = GME(T/2π)²

R = ∛(GME)(T/2π)²

RE + h = ∛(GMET²/4π²)

h = ∛(GMET²/4π²) - RE

substituting the values of the variables, we have

h = ∛(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² × 6 × 10²⁴ kg × (8.64 × 10⁴s)²/4π²) - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = ∛(2,987,477 × 10²⁰/4π² Nm²s²/kg) - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = ∛75.67 × 10²⁰ m³ - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = ∛(7567 × 10¹⁸ m³) - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = 19.64 × 10⁶ m - 6.4 × 10⁶ m

h = 13.24 × 10⁶ m

h = 1.324 × 10⁷ m
