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>

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Part a)

t = 16.8 s

d = 100.8 m

Part b)

v_f = 2.86 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

Constant speed by which the student will run is given as

v = 5 m/s

now after some time if student is going to overtake the position of bus

so here the final positions will be same

so we have

x_{bus} = x_{student}

0 + \frac{1}{2}at^2 + d = v_{student} t

\frac{1}{2}(0.170)t^2 + 60 = 5 t

0.085 t^2 - 5t + 60 = 0

so it is

t = 16.8 s

So student will run the total distance

d = vt

d = (6)(16.8)

d = 100.8 m

Part b)

Speed of bus when student reach the bus is given as

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 0 + (0.170)(16.8)

v_f = 2.86 m/s

Assuming 84.0% efficiency for the conversion of electrical power by the motor, what current must the 13.0-V batteries of a 716 k
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

\mathbf{ current(I) =1766.67 \ A}

Explanation:

Given that:

The air resistance and friction = 700 N

The gravity caused force = 716 × 9.8 = 7016.8

Total force = (7016.8 + 700) N

Total force = 7716.8 N

∴

13 \times  current(I) \times 0.84 = \dfrac{7716.8 \times 300}{2 \times 60}

current(I) \times 10.92= 19292

current(I) = \dfrac{19292}{10.92}

\mathbf{ current(I) =1766.67 \ A}

A 50-cm-long spring is suspended from the ceiling. A 270 g mass is connected to the end and held at rest with the spring unstret
AveGali [126]

Answer:

k = 22.05 N/m

Explanation:

The potential energy of the mass is converted into potential energy of the spring.

Given:

mass m = 0.27 kg

gravitational constant g = 9.8 m/s²

distance falling/ stretching of spring h = 0.24 m

U_{gravity} = U_{spring}\\ mgh = \frac{1}{2} kh^{2}

Solving for k:

k = 2mg\frac{1}{h}
