The efficiency of the steam engine is 78.9%.

<h3>What is the efficiency of a machine?</h3>

The efficiency of a machine is a measure of the useful work done by the machine as against the work input into the machine.

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

Work output of the steam engine = 225 K

Work input of the steam engine = 285 K

The efficiency of the machine = 225/275 × 100% = 78.9%

Therefore, the efficiency of the steam engine is 78.9%.

A disc with a mass of 1 kg moves horizontally to the right with a speed of 7 m/s on a table with negligible friction when it col
Elodia [21]

Answer:

1.6 m/s

Explanation:

First you need to find the momentums of each disc by multiplying their velocities with mass.

disc 1: 7*1= 7 kg m/s

disc 2: 1*9= 9 kg m/s

Second, you need to find the total momentum of the system by adding the momentums of each sphere.

9+7= 16 kg m/s

Because momentum is conserved, this is equal to the momentum of the composite body.

Finally, to find the composite body's velocity, divide its total momentum by its mass. This is because mass*velocity=momentum

16/10=1.6

The velocity of the composite body is 1.6 m/s.

A machine shop worker reports the mass of an aluminum cube as 176 g. If one side of the cube measures 4 cm, what is the density
Zarrin [17]

-- Since it's a cube, its length, width, and height are all the same 4 cm .

-- Its volume is (length x width x height) = 64 cm³ .

-- Density = (mass) / (volume)

                = (176 g) / (64 cm³) 

                =         2.75 gm/cm³ .

In an elastic collision, a 580 kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling
kozerog [31]

Answer:  vl = 2.75 m/s vt = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

If we assume that no external forces act during the collision, total momentum must be conserved.

If both cars are identical and also the drivers have the same mass, we can write the following:

m (vi1 + vi2) = m (vf1 + vf2) (1)

The sum of the initial speeds must be equal to the sum of the final ones.

If we are told that kinetic energy must be conserved also, simplifying, we can write:

vi1² + vi2² = vf1² + vf2² (2)

The only condition that satisfies  (1) and (2) simultaneously is the one in which both masses exchange speeds, so we can write:

vf1 = vi2 and vf2 = vi1

If we call v1 to the speed of the leading car, and v2 to the trailing one, we can finally put the following:

vf1 = 2.75 m/s  vf2 = 1.5 m/s

A spinning ice skater will speed up if he brings his arms close to his body. Which of the following statements explains this phe
xxMikexx [17]
A. Angular momentum is always conserved would be the correct answer.

This is because like linear momentum (mvmv), angular momentum (r×mvr×mv) is a conserved quantity, where rr is the vector from the center of rotation. For a skater holding a static pose, for each particle making up her body, the contribution in magnitude to the total angular momentum is given by mirivimirivi. Thus bringing in her arms reduces riri for those particles. In order to conserve angular momentum, there is then an increase in the angular velocity.

hope this helps!
