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%.

a force 2.4E2 N exists between a positive charge of 8E-5 C and a positive charge of 3E-5 C. What distance separates the charges?
Verdich [7]

The distance between the two charges is 0.3 m

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's law:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the charges of the two objects

r is the separation between the two charges

In this problem, we are given the following:

q_1 = 8\cdot 10^{-5} C

q_2 = 3\cdot 10^{-5} C

F=2.4\cdot 10^2 N

Therefore, we can rearrange the equation to solve for r, the distance between the two charges:

r=\sqrt{\frac{kq_1 q_2}{F}}=\sqrt{\frac{(8.99\cdot 10^9)(8\cdot 10^{-5})(3\cdot 10^{-5})}{2.4\cdot 10^2}}=0.3 m
