Efficiency of a machine is always less than 100% why?

Physics
1 answer:
kifflom [539]2 years ago
7 0

The reason the efficiency is always less than 100% is because there is always some sort of friction in the machine.


Answer: because of friction

An object is placed perpendicular to the the principal axis of convex lens of focal length 8,the distance of the object from the
Digiron [165]

Answer:

v = 24 cm and inverted image

Explanation:

Given that,

The focal length of the object, f = +8 cm

Object distance, u = -12 cm

We need to find the position &nature of the image​. Let v be the image distance. Using lens formula to find it :

\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}=\dfrac{1}{f}

Put all the values,

\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{8}+\dfrac{1}{(-12)}\\\\v=24\ cm

So, the image distance from the lens is 24 cm.

Magnification,

m=\dfrac{v}{u}\\\\m=\dfrac{24}{-12}\\\\m=-2

The negative sign of magnification shows that the formed image is inverted.

What type of energy does the box have after it is done being pulled?
Ksivusya [100]
Assuming that the box is moving when it is being pulled, Work is done on the box.

So work is the Force times the distance

W=Fd

But what is work actually ? When something moves due to force over some change in distance, it have energy.

But where does this energy come from ? Does it magically appear ? The energy comes from the applied force onto the box.

So the energy have been transferred. And it’s like that throughout the universe

Now to save time, I’ll just tell you the answer: kinetic energy

a shell fired from a cannon at 60 ° from horizontal strikes a target 20m high at a distance 80m. Calculate the initial velocity
stich3 [128]

consider the motion along the X-direction

X = horizontal displacement = 80 m

V_{ox} = initial velocity along the x-direction = v Cos60

t = time of travel

using the equation

X = V_{ox}   t

80 = (v Cos60) (t)

t = 160/v                                         eq-1


consider the motion in vertical direction :

Y = vertical displacement = 20 m

V_{oy}  = initial velocity in Y-direction = v Sin60

a = acceleration = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel = 160/v

using the equation

Y = V_{oy}  t + (0.5) a t²

20 = (v Sin60) (160/v) + (0.5) (- 9.8) (160/v)²

v = 32.5 m/s
