Answer:

The net force acting on the person is 5.34 N acting upwards

Explanation:

The information given are;

Mass of the person = 55.0 kg

Density of the person = 1010 kg/m³

Body volume of the person = Mass/Density = 55/1010 = 0.0545 m³

Weight of the person = Mass × Gravity = 55 × 9.81 = 539.55 N↓

Where the density of water = 1000 kg/m³, we have;

Upthrust = weight of the water displaced = Mass of the water displaced × Gravity

Mass of the water displaced = Density of water × Volume of the water

Mass of the water displaced = Density of water × Body volume of the person

                                                = 1000 × 0.0545 = 54.5 kg

The Upthrust = 54.5 × 9.81 = 534.21 N↑

Given that the net force, F_{Net} acting is the sum of the mass of forces acting  on the person which are the weight acting downward and the upthrust acting upwards

We have;

F(Net) = 534.21↑ - 539.55↓ = 5.34 N↑

The net force acting on the person = 5.34 N upwards.

Answer:

The correct answer is option'B': Change in entropy

Explanation:

We know from the second law of thermodynamics for any spontaneous process the total entropy of the system and it's surroundings will increase.

Meaning that any unaided process will  move in a direction in which the entropy of the system will increase.It is because the system will always want to increase it's randomness
