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.

3. What exerts a greater force on the table of 2 kg book lying flat or a 2 kg book on its
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

A book on its side exerts a greater force.

Explanation:

Pressure = Force / Area

Assuming that 1kg = 10N

2kg = 20N

Area of book lying flat = 0.3m × 0.2m

                                     = 0.6m²

Pressure of book lying flat = 20N / 0.6m²

                                            = 30Pa (1 s.f.)

Area of book on its side = 0.2m × 0.05m

                                        = 0.01m²

Pressure of book on its side = 20N / 0.01m²

                                               = 2000Pa (1 s.f.)

Since 2000Pa (1 s.f.) > 30Pa (1 s.f.), a book on its side applies greater pressure than lying flat.

A convex lens has a focal length of 16.5 cm. Where on the lens axis should an object be placed in order to get a virtual, enlarg
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Object should be placed at a distance, u = 7.8 cm

Given:

focal length of convex lens, F = 16.5 cm

magnification, m = 1.90

Solution:

Magnification of lens, m = -\frac{v}{u}

where

u = object distance

v = image distance

Now,

1.90 = \frac{v}{u}

v = - 1.90u

To calculate the object distance, u by lens maker formula given by:

\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{u}+ \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{16.5} = \frac{1}{u}+ \frac{1}{- 1.90u}

\frac{1}{16.5} = \frac{1.90 - 1}{1.90u}

\frac{1}{16.5} = \frac{ 0.90}{1.90u}

u = 7.8 cm

Object should be placed at a distance of 7.8 cm on the axis of the lens to get virtual and enlarged image.

When nuclear fission occurs some mass is lost where does that mass go
horrorfan [7]
The loss of matter is called the mass defect. The missing matter is converted into energy. You can actually calculate the amount of energy produced during a nuclear reaction with  fairly simple equation developed by Albert Einstein; E = mc^2. In this equation, E is the amount of energy produced, m is the missing mass, or the mass defect, and c is the speed of light, which is a rather large number. The speed of light is squared, making that part of the equation a very large number that, even when multiplied by a small amount of mass, yields a large amount of energy.

A solid cylinder of uniform density of 0.85 g/cm3 floats in a glass of water tinted light blue by food coloring.
SVEN [57.7K]

Each side has to have at least 44 horses

F61160 N. This is further explained below.

<h3>What is the force?</h3>

Generally, We are only interested in the component that operates horizontally since the vertical components all cancel each other out. The pressure difference works on the hemisphere to generate a normal force all over the surface, but we are only concerned with that force's horizontal component. This may be determined by supposing the hemispheres to be two flat circular plates of the same radius as the hemispheres that have been forced together.

Therefore, force is equal to pressure multiplied by area, which is

F= (970 -15 )( * (0.45 m)2)

F=60754 N for each side.

Therefore, each side has to have at least 44 horses

44* 1390 = 61160 N
