Explanation:

Efficiency is a way of describing the amount of useful ​output​ a process or machine can generate as a percentage of the ​input​ required to make it go. In other words, it compares how much energy is used to do work versus how much is lost or wasted to the environment. The more efficient the machine, the less energy wasted.

For example, if a heat engine is able to turn 75 percent of the fuel it receives into motion, while 25 percent is lost as heat in the process, it would be 75 percent efficient. Out of the original 100 percent of the fuel, 75 percent was output as useful work.  

the equation:

energy efficiency =useful output energy/total input energy

A mass-spring system oscillates with an amplitude of 4.60 cm. If the spring constant is 234 N/m and the mass is 524 g, determine
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Mechanical energy, U = 0.247 Joules

Explanation:

Given that,

Spring constant of the spring, k = 234 N/m

Mass, m = 524 g = 0.524 kg

Amplitude, A = 4.6 cm = 0.046 m

To find,

The mechanical energy of the system.

Solution,

We know that the sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy is equal to its mechanical energy. In mass-spring system, it is given by :

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kA^2

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 234\times (0.046)^2

U = 0.247 Joules

So, the mechanical energy of the system is 0.247 Joules.

An initially stationary object experiences an acceleration of 6 m/s2 for a time of 15 s. How far will it travel during that time
Arisa [49]

Explanation:

Distance = (intial speed)X(Time) + 1/2(acceleration)X(Time) [Third equation of motion]

As initial speed is zero, therefore;

Distance = 1/2(acceleration)X(Time)

              = 1/2 (6 X 15)

              = 1/2 (90)

              = 45 meters

Hence, the object traveled 45 meters.

Morgarella [4.7K]
Given:
I=8A
t=2second
Potential difference,V=120-100=20volt
Workdone=V×i×t
=20×8×2
=320 joule.

Sam is playing football. She kicks the ball with an average force of 75 N.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

22.5J

Explanation:

Here the force is given. Also, the displacement is given as 30cm.

First we should check if all the values are in their standard form.

Here 30cm should be converted to metre by dividing it with 100.

Which would give us 0.3m

Now we use the equation W=force x displacement =75 x 0.3=22.5J

I hope this satisfies you. If u have any further questions please let me know.

I hope u will follow me and make this the brainliest answer.
