Answer:

(D) 96 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Let's start off by first calculating the normal force between the box and the floor.

This will be:

Normal Force = 12 * 9.81 = 117.72 N

We can now use the friction equation to find the frictional force on the box when it is moving:

Frictional force = Coefficient of friction * Normal Force

Frictional force = 0.4 * 117.72 = 47.09 N

Finally, since we have the force on the box, we can find the acceleration:

F = Mass * Acceleration

47.09 = 12 * Acceleration

Acceleration = 3.92 m/s^2

Final speed after 2 seconds:

V=U+a*t

V = 4 +(-3.92)*(2)

V= -3.84 m/s

Since we know the initial and final speeds, we can calculate the change in momentum:

Change in momentum = Final Momentum - Initial Momentum

Change in momentum = 3.84*12-(-4)*12

Change in momentum = 94.08 kg*m/s

Thus we can see that option (D) is the closest answer.

The human body has an average density of 979 kg/m3 , what fraction of a person is submerged when floating gently in fresh water?
FromTheMoon [43]

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%.
