Answer:

80%

Explanation:

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

From question, work output = 20J

Work input = 25J.

Therefore efficiency = 20/25 × 100 %

Efficiency = 20×4 %

Efficiency = 80%

gladu [14]

The force exerted by gravity is:

F = m g

F = 3300 kg * 9.8 m/s^2

F = 32,430 N

 

The force exerted due to the inclined plane is:

F tractor = 32,430 N * sin 14

A train car has a mass of 10,000 kg and is moving at +3.0 m/s. It strikes an identical train car that is at rest. The train cars
shtirl [24]
In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s
