Answer:

250 kg/m3

Explanation:

The total volume of the raft is length times width times height

V = lwh = 2 * 3 * 0.5 = 3 m cubed

The volume of the raft that is submerged in water is 1/4 of total volume

3 /4 = 0.75 m cubed

Let water density = 1000 kg/m cubed and g = 10 m/s2

The buoyant force is equal to the weight of water displaced by the raft

F = 0.75 * 1000 * 10 = 7500 N

This force is balanced by the raft weight, so the weight of the raft is also 7500N

Mass of raft is 7500 / g = 7500 / 10 = 750 kg

Raft density is mass divided by volume = 750 / 3 = 250 kg/m3

Which of the following is prohibited by the 2nd law of thermodynamics?
vitfil [10]

(A) A device that converts heat into work with 100% efficiency

It clearly violates the second law of thermodynamics because it warns that while all work can be turned into heat, not all heat can be turned into work. Therefore, despite the innumerable efforts, the efficiencies of the bodies have only been able to reach 60% at present.

a pulley is used to lift a 2000 N safe over frosty's head. the safe is lifted 6m in 4s by Rudolph. how much power did Rudolph us
garri49 [273]

Answer:

3000W

Explanation:

Given parameter:

Weight of safe  = 2000N

Height of lift = 6m

Time = 4s

Unknown:

Power used by Rudolph = ?

Solution:

Power is the rate at which work is being done. It is expressed as:

 Power  = \frac{Work done }{Time taken}  

   Work done  = Weight x height = 2000 x 6  = 12000J

Power  = \frac{12000}{4}   = 3000W

To develop a product that warms peoples hands would you use an exothermic or endothermic reaction? Why?
il63 [147K]
Exothermic because exothermic reactions transfer energy to the surroundings. Endothermic reactions take in energy from the surroundings, so if you want to warms people's hands you should use exothermic chemical reaction for the product.
