A kettle consumes 198 kJ to boil water. If 168 kJ was used to boil the
1 answer:
The efficiency of the kettle is 117.9%
<h3>What is efficiency?</h3>Efficiency is used to measuring how much work or energy we can conserve in a process. In other words, it is like comparing the output of the energy to the input of the energy in any given system.
It is also define as the ratio of Energy Input to the Energy Output. To express it in percent multiply it by 100.
Here, Efficiency = Energy output / Energy input
= 117.9%
So , the efficiency is 117.9%

We know that arc length (x(t)) is given with the following formula:
Where r is the radius of the barrel. We must keep in mind that as barrel rolls its radius decreases because less and less tape is left on it.
If we say that the thickness of the tape is D then with every full circle our radius shrinks by d. We can write this down mathematically:
When we plug this back into the first equation we get:
We must solve this quadratic equation.
The final solution is:
It is rather complicated solution. If we asume that the tape has no thickness we get simply:
