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%.

Explain how the plants of a tropical rain forest contribute to the characteristic hot, humid weather associated with the area. U
Talja [164]

Answer: The atmosphere of trophic rainforest is hot and humid due to high rate of transpiration.

Explanation:

The tropical rainforest is a biome which exhibit rich biodiversity of plants and animals. The average temperatures in this region remain high with warm summer. It remains frost free. The soil is nutrient deficient. Due to hot temperature the rate of transpiration remains high as a result the concentration of the water vapors remain high. This is responsible for increasing the humidity in the atmosphere also this region receives appreciable amount of rainfall annually. The average rainfall range is 200-450 centimeters.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

a = 1 m/s²  and

Explanation:

The first two parts can be seen in attachment

We use Newton's second law on each axis

Y axis

      Ty - W = 0        

      Ty = w

X axis

     Tx = m a

With trigonometry we find the components of tension

    Sin θ = Ty / T

    Ty = T sin θ

    Cos θ = Tx / T

    Tx = T cos θ

We calculate the acceleration with kinematics

   Vf = Vo + a t

   a = (Vf -Vo) / t

   a = (20 -10) / 10

   a = 1 m/s²

We substitute in Newton's equations

     

  T Sin θ = mg

  T cos θ = ma

We divide the two equations

  Tan θ = g / a

  θ = tan⁻¹ (g / a)

  θ = tan⁻¹ (9.8 / 1)

  θ = 84º

We see that in the expression of the angle the mass does not appear therefore you should not change the angle

What is most likely the relationship between Mendel’s rules of genetics and Darwin’s idea of biological evolution?
xenn [34]

Answer:

Darwin's theory of natural selection lacked an adequate account of ... Darwinian principles now play a greater role in biology than ever before, .... Sadly, even if Mendel had lived to see the rediscovery of his work, he probably .... evolutionary forces are acting, a genetic equivalent to Galileo's law of inertia.

A cannon fired horizontally at 20 m/s from the top of a cliff lands 80m away. how tall is the cliff
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

The height of the cliff is, h = 78.4 m

Explanation:

Given,

The horizontal velocity of the projectile, Vx = 20 m/s

The range of the projectile, s = 80 m

The projectile projected from a height is given by the formula

                            <em> S = Vx [Vy + √(Vy² + 2gh)] / g </em>

Therefore,  

                            h = S²g/2Vx²

Substituting the values

                             h = 80² x 9.8/ (2 x 20²)

                                = 78.4 m

Hence, the height of the cliff is, h = 78.4 m
