Answer: The volume of an irregularly shaped object is 0.50 ml
Explanation:
To calculate the volume, we use the equation:
Density of object = 
mass of object = 3.0 g
Volume of object = ?
Putting in the values we get:
Thus the volume of an irregularly shaped object is 0.50 ml
There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.
Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.
Answer:
You would have to find the friction force of the rubber block which would be found with the equation of Normal force (mass*gravity) times cooeficient of friction which would give 8.82 N for the amount of friction and because you need more force than 8.82 N (assuming gravity is 9.8)
Approximately 0.4373 seconds
Speed of sound at 20 degree C is roughly 343 meters/second
Speed of light = 3x10^8 or 300,000,000 meters/second
at 150.0 feet away you set it up as:
150.0/343 - 150/3x10^8
150.0/343 = 0.43731778
150/3x10^8 = 5x10^-7 or 0.0000005
Subtract 0.43731778 - 0.0000005
Answer is 0.43731728
Rounding would be approx. 0.4373
