The efficiency of the steam engine is 78.9% because the rest of the work input is used to overcome friction.

<h3>What is efficiency of machines?</h3>

Efficiency of a machine expresses the useful work done by a a machine as a percentage.

  • Efficiency of a machine = work output/work input × 100 %%

The efficiency of machines are always less than 100% percent due to energy losses due to friction and heat.

For the steam engine:

Work output = 225 J

Work input = 285 J

Efficiency = 225/285 × 100% = 78.9 %

Therefore, the efficiency of the steam engine is 78.9% because the rest of the work input is used to overcome friction.

Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding. Disregarding friction, what is the velo
lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mr. Miles zips down a water-slide starting at 15 m vertical distance up the scaffolding, h = 15 m

We need to find the velocity of the Mr. Miles at the bottom of the slide. It is a case of conservation of energy which states that the total energy of the system remains conserved. Let v is the velocity of the Mr. miles. So,

v=\sqrt{2gh}

g is the acceleration due to gravity

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 15}

v = 17.14 m/s

So, the velocity of the Mr. miles is 17.14 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A mixture of helium and oxygen is used in scuba diving tanks to help prevent ""the bends"". 46 L helium and 12 L oxygen are comb
marin [14]

Answer

given,

For helium

Volume,V = 46 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C  =  273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₁ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

n_1 =\dfrac{46 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}

  n₁ = 1.89 moles

For oxygen

Volume,V = 12 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C  =  273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₂ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

n_2 =\dfrac{12 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}

  n₂ = 0.49 moles

Total volume of tank = 5 L

temperature of tank = 298 K

Partial pressure of helium

P_1=\dfrac{n_1 R T}{V}

P_1=\dfrac{1.89\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}

     P₁ = 9.25 atm

Partial pressure of oxygen

P_2=\dfrac{n_2 R T}{V}

P_2=\dfrac{0.49\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}

    P₂ = 2.39 atm

total pressure

    P = P₁ + P₂

    P = 9.25 + 2.39

    P = 11.64 atm

How are the energy conversions of machines similar to the energy conversions in your body
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

When we eat food, our body gets chemical energy from it. Now, this chemical energy from the food is changed into some different energy forms that is useful to it. They include:

-Chemical to mechanical energy to aid in movement of muscles

- chemical to thermal energy to aid in regulating the body temperature.

- chemical to electrical energy to aid the brain in thinking.

Thus is similar to how a machine converts energy because machines also generate energy after being powered and convert to other forms of energy. For example, an alarm clock converts electrical energy to sound energy, hair dryer converts electrical energy to thermal/heat energy.

Rank the following meteorites in terms of their age, from youngest to oldest:1) a meteorite containing 500 238U isotopes and 100
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

When 238U which is radioactive turns into 206Pb , it becomes stable and no further disintegration is done . Hence in the initial period ratio of 238U undecayed and 206Pb formed  will be very high because no of atoms of 238U in the beginning will be very high. Gradually number of 238U undecayed will go down and number of 206Pb formed will go up . In this way the ratio of 238U and 206Pb in the mixture will gradually reduce to be equal to one or even less than one .

In the given option we shall calculate their raio

1 ) ratio of 238U and 206Pb = 5

2 ) ratio of 238U and 206Pb = 4

3 )ratio of 238U and 206Pb = 1

4 ) ratio of 238U and 206Pb = 20

5 )ratio of 238U and 206Pb = 3

lowest ratio is 1 , hence this sample will be oldest.

Ranking from youngest to oldest

4 , 1 , 2 , 5 , 3 .
