If something is 50fficient, how many joules of wasted energy will there be if 750j of energy is put in?’

1 answer:

8 0

Efficiency is the minimum use of energy to accomplish the task. The wasted energy will be 375 J when 750 J of energy is given.

<h3>What is wasted energy?</h3>

Wasted energy is energy that is not useful when the transformation in the system occurs.

Total energy = 750 J

The efficiency of the system = 50 %

Output work (OW) is calculated as:

Efficiency = output work ÷ input work × 100%

750 × 50 = 100 OW

OW = 375 J

Wasted energy = Total energy - output work

= 750 - 375

= 375 J

Therefore, the machine is 50 % inefficient and has wasted energy of 375 J.

What is a shearing stress? Is there a force resulting from two solids in contact to which is it similar?

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

Shearing stresses are the stresses generated in any material when a force acts in such a way that it tends to tear off the material.

Generally the above definition is valid at an armature level, in more technical terms shearing stresses are the component of the stresses that act parallel to any plane in a material that is under stress. Shearing stresses are present in a body even if normal forces act on it along the centroidal axis.

Mathematically in a plane AB the shearing stresses are given by

$\tau =\frac{Fcos(\theta )}{A}$

Yes the shearing force which generates the shearing stresses is similar to frictional force that acts between the 2 surfaces in contact with each other.

A 100 ft long steel wire has a cross-sectional area of 0.0144 in.2. When a force of 270 lb is applied to the wire, its length in

blondinia [14]

Answer:

(a) The stress on the steel wire is 19,000 Psi

(b) The strain on the steel wire is 0.00063

Explanation:

Given;

length of steel wire, L = 100 ft

cross-sectional area, A = 0.0144 in²

applied force, F = 270 lb

extension of the wire, e = 0.75 in

<u>Part (A)</u> The stress on the steel wire;

δ = F/A

= 270 / 0.0144

δ = 18750 lb/in² = 19,000 Psi

<u>Part (B)</u> The strain on the steel wire;

σ = e/ L

L = 100 ft = 1200 in

σ = 0.75 / 1200

σ = 0.00063

<u>Part (C)</u> The modulus of elasticity of the steel

E = δ/σ

= 19,000 / 0.00063

E = 30,000,000 Psi

I ran across this symbol in some Electrical wiring documents and I am unaware of what this means. Any help?

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Opened Push-button Switch (i.e. a PTM Switch)

Explanation:

Tha's just another symbol for a switch, but this one specifies that the switch is a push-button type of switch.

Since it's not touching and completing the line, the state of the switch is initially open.
