Why machines are never 100 percent efficient

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>

Finally, you are ready to answer the main question. Cheetahs, the fastest of the great cats, can reach 50.0 miles/hour in 2.22 s
muminat

Answer:

Acceleration = 10.06 m/s²

Explanation:

1 mile = 1.6093km

1609.3m = 1 mile

1 m = \frac{1}{1609} mile

50.0 miles/hour = \frac{50 * 1609.3}{60 * 60} m/s

                          = 22.35m/s

from equation

S = Ut + 1/2 at²

v = U + at

22.35 = 0 + a * 2.22

a = 22.35 ÷ 2.22

= 10.06 m/s²

How can what you learned be used in the real world? (Ex. At the grovery store, future career, etc). Please be specific and use c
vivado [14]
I could use math to help with baking and measuring how much I should use for a cake or stuff like that, they also show us how to add our money together to help us with stuff.
Math, is helpful with many jobs, stuff learned in school can help you strategize and school also makes you think outside of the box sometimes, which can help with jobs. Also if you want to do a career with fashion designing or engineering, you can use math for that too. School also gives you the ability to read.

Would the energy of the wave increase or decrease if the speed of the wave increases? Why?
choli [55]

Answer:

i hope this helps some

Explanation:

The time-averaged power of a sinusoidal wave is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave and the square of the angular frequency of the wave. This is true for most mechanical waves. If either the angular frequency or the amplitude of the wave were doubled, the power would increase by a factor of four.

The speed of a wave is dependant on four factors: wavelength, frequency, medium, and temperature. Wave speed is calculated by multiplying the wavelength times the frequency (speed = l * f).

You and your neighbour are shovelling snow. If your neighbour pushes a shovel four times as far as you do but exerts only a half
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

The neighbour

Double your work

Explanation:

Work is a product of force and distance, expressed as W=Fd where W is work in Nm, F is applied force and d is the distance in m

Since your neighbour pushes 4 times then you just push 1m when he pushes 4m, that is an example. Also, since the neighbour only exerts half the force ie 0.5N then you exert full force of 1N

Work from your neighbour will be 4d*0.5F=2dF

Work from you will be dF

Clearly, 2dF=2(dF) hence the neigjbour exerts double work
