A person is submerged of about 97.9%.

The average density of the human body is given as 979 kg/ m³.

<h3>Define Law of floatation.</h3>

    Law of floatation can be defined as the volume of the liquid displaced when a body floats on the liquid surface is equal to the body submerged in the water.

As body has the stable equilibrium state, the buoyancy of the fluid will be equal to the weight.

Weight of the body floating = Weight of the body immersed in fluid

  Law of floatation = Density of the floating object / density of fluid

 As fluid is the freshwater here, the density of fluid will be 1000 kg/ m³.

                               = (979 kg/ m³) / ( 1000 kg/ m³)

                               = 97.9 %

A person is submerged when floating gently in fresh water about 97.9%.

Multiply field strength (N/kg) by mass (kg) to get weight (N)

At the start, the car is carrying

4.7 kg * (9.8 N/kg) = 46.06 N

of fuel.

At the end, it is carrying

3.0 kg * (9.8 N/kg) = 29.4 N.

Assuming the car remains completely intact, its weight was reduced by

46.06 N - 29.4 N = 16.66 N.

A resistor is made out of a long wire having a length L. Each end of the wire is attached to a termina of a battery providing a
Len [333]

Answer:

B) 2I

Explanation:

The equation that relates voltage, current and resistance is V=RI.

The equation for the resistance of a material in terms of its resistivity, length and cross-sectional area is R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

In this case, the length is divided by 2 while keeping its resistivity (since it's the same material) and area, which means the resistance gets divided by 2. Then, looking at the equation I=V/R and keeping V constant, one deduces that since the resistance now is half than before then current now must be twice as before.

This is all intuitive in fact, cuting a homogeneous resistor in half and leaving the rest of the variables constant makes twice as easy for the electrons to cross the conductor, thus twice the current (one has to know that all the variables involved behave linearly, as the equations show).

A dolphin can swim at a constant speed of 12.5 m/s. How
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

\boxed {\tt 3.6 \ seconds}

Explanation:

Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.

t=\frac{d}{s}

The distance is 45 meters and the speed is 12.5 meters per second.

d= 45 \ m \\s= 12.5 \ m/s

t=\frac{45 \ m}{12.5 \ m/s}

Divide. Note that the meters, or "m" will cancel each other out.

t=\frac{45 }{12.5 \ s}

t=3.6 \ s

It will take the dolphin 3.6 seconds to swim a distance of 45 meters are 12.5 meters per second.

In young’s double slit experiment, the measured fringe width is 0.5 mm for a Sodium light of 589 nm at a distance of 1.5 m. A br
Levart [38]

Answer:

(A).  The order of the bright fringe is 6.

(B). The width of the bright fringe is 3.33 μm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Fringe width d = 0.5 mm

Wavelength = 589 nm

Distance of screen and slit D = 1.5 m

Distance of bright fringe y = 1 cm

(A) We need to calculate the order of the bright fringe

Using formula of wavelength

\lambda=\dfrac{dy}{mD}

m=\dfrac{d y}{\lambda D}

Put the value into the formula

m=\dfrac{1\times10^{-2}\times0.5\times10^{-3}}{589\times10^{-9}\times1.5}

m=5.65 = 6

(B). We need to calculate the width of the bright fringe

Using formula of width of fringe

\beta=\dfrac{yd}{D}

Put the value in to the formula

\beta=\dfrac{1\times10^{-2}\times0.5\times10^{-3}}{1.5}

\beta=3.33\times10^{-6}\ m

\beta=3.33\ \mu m

Hence, (A).  The order of the bright fringe is 6.

(B). The width of the bright fringe is 3.33 μm.
