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%.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

According to the nebula hypothesis that explains the formation of solar system, there occurs changes in terms of its shape as well as the rate of rotation. It is because of the conservation of angular momentum.

The total angular momentum comprising a system remains same or constant, throughout its period of rotation in the absence of net torque. Due to the increasing density, the nebula eventually collapses, and these clouds of gases collides with one another and forms a large cloud. These clouds attains an average velocity and results in an orderly motion, which eventually take the shape of a disk. This is how with time, the sun and the planets have formed, comprising the solar system.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

The balls in the image above have different masses and speeds. Rank them in terms of momentum, from least to greatest.
N76 [4]
The momentum of an object is equivalent to the product of the object's mass and velocity. Computing the momentum for each ball:
A- 15 * 0.7 = 10.5
B- 5.5 * 1.2 = 6.6
C- 5.0 * 2.5 = 12.5
D- 1.5 * 5.0 = 7.5

Therefore, ball C has the greatest momentum.

What is the Lorentz force law used for?
alexira [117]

Answer:

Lorentz force, the force exerted on a charged particle q moving with velocity v through an electric E and magnetic field B. The entire electromagnetic force F on the charged particle is called the Lorentz force (after the Dutch physicist Hendrik A. Lorentz) and is given by F = qE + qv × B.
