Answer:

The volume of the submerged part of her body is 0.0622m^{3}

Explanation:

Let's define the buoyant force acting on a submerged object.

In a submerged object acts a buoyant force which can be calculated as :

B=ρ.V.g

Where ''B'' is the buoyant force

Where ''ρ'' is the density of the fluid

Where ''V'' is the submerged volume of the object

Where ''g'' is the acceleration due to gravity

Because the girl is floating we can state that the weight of the girl is equal to the buoyant force.

We can write :

W_{girl}=B (I)

Where ''W'' is weight

⇒ If we consider ρ = 1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}} (water density) and g=9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}} and replacing this values in the equation (I) ⇒

B=W_{girl}

B=610N

ρ.V.g = 610N

1000\frac{kg}{m^{3}}.V.(9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}})=610N (II)

The force unit ''N'' (Newton) is defined as

N=kg.\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Using this in the equation (II) :

(9810\frac{N}{m^{3}}).V =610N

V=\frac{610N}{9810\frac{N}{m^{3}}}

V=0.0622m^{3}

We find that the volume of the submerged part of her body is 0.0622m^{3}

olasank [31]

Answer:

How much does light bend? When light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to change direction slightly. This change of direction is called refraction. When light enters a more dense substance (higher refractive index), it 'bends' more towards the normal line.

A ball of mass 0.500 kg is carefully balanced on a shelf that is 2.70 m above the ground. What is its gravitational potential en
ratelena [41]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the ball is 13.23 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the ball, m = 0.5 kg

height of the shelf, h = 2.7 m

The gravitational potential energy is given by;

P.E = mgh

where;

m is mass of the ball

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h is height of the ball

Substitute the givens and solve for gravitational potential energy;

PE = (0.5 x 9.8 x 2.7)

P.E = 13.23 J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy of the ball is 13.23 J.
