I am brand new in the turtle keeping life. I have acquired a female adult turtle. I have many questions the first one is do they rest in the water sometimes with their legs and head hanging limp like they are sleeping ?

yeah, its normal. my turtle does it all the time when he's in the water or basking =D

Yes that's completely normal.
