Machines are never 100% efficient because they are made by humans and we make errors and nothing we make is perfect, that's why the machines we build are not 100% accurate or efficient.

<span>The efficiency of an actual machine is never 100% because of the Second law of thermodynamics which states that the quality of energy will decay, eventually becoming heat. This means that some of the work put into the system is transformed (lost) into thermal energy(heat) therefore, causing the percent to reduce.</span>

Elenna [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between time period of moon in the orbit around a planet can be given by the following relation .

T² = 4 π² R³ / GM

G is gravitational constant , M is mass of the planet , R is radius of the orbit and T is time period of the moon .

Substituting the values in the equation

(.3189 x 24 x 60 x 60 s)²  = 4 x 3.14² x ( 9380 x 10³)³ / (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x M)

759.167 x 10⁶ = 8.25 x 10²⁰ x 39.43 / (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x M )

M = .06424  x 10²⁵

= 6.4 x 10²³ kg .

Please help ASAP! Thank you :)
puteri [66]

Answer:

magnitude of gravitational force between the Earth and the Sun at B is greater than that at A

Explanation:

Formula of gravitational force:

F = GMm/r^2

(r is the distance between 2 objects)

We see that r(B) < r(A) since at B, the Earth is closer to the Sun than at A

According to the Formula, the smaller r is, the greater F is

So, F(B) > F(A)

Explain why pumice floats and why ironwood sinks
almond37 [142]

Answer:

A quick way of describing density is to describe an object as heavy or light for its size. Pumice stone, unlike regular rock, does not sink in water because it has a low density. An ironwood branch is very dense and sinks in water.

Hope that helps. x
