A machine require 2,000 joules to raise a 20 kilogram block a distance of 6 meters. How efficient is the machine?

Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .

To raise the 20kg block 6 meters, you need to give it

                         (20 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (6 m) = 1,176 joules

of potential energy.

Your machine takes 2,000 joules of energy to give the block
the 1,176 joules that it takes.

Your machine is only  (1176 / 2000) = 58.8% efficient .

The other 'missing' 824 joules of energy doesn't just disappear.
It heats the machine, and the air around it.  The final result is
that when you use that machine to lift blocks, you have to use
even MORE energy, to blow cool air on the machine and prevent
it from overheating and breaking.

If f(x) = 3x - 1 and g(x) = x + 2, find (f- g)(x).<br> Rrgggggg
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

(f - g)(x) = 2x - 3

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Distributive Property

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Combining Like Terms

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

f(x) = 3x - 1

g(x) = x + 2

(f - g)(x) is f(x) - g(x)

<u>Step 2: Evaluate</u>

  1. Substitute:                    (f - g)(x) = 3x - 1 - (x + 2)
  2. Distribute -1:                 (f - g)(x) = 3x - 1 - x - 2
  3. Combine like terms:    (f - g)(x) = 2x - 3

If the earth is like a car, then the greenhouse gases are like the what
Zigmanuir [339]

Explanation:

The greenhouse effect works much the same way on Earth. Gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat similar to the glass roof of a greenhouse. These heat-trapping gases are called greenhouse gases. ... At night, Earth's surface cools, releasing heat back into the air.

How are diffusion and osmosis the same and how are they different
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Diffusion sees molecules in an area of high concentration move to areas with a lower concentration, while osmosis refers to the process by which water, or other solvents, moves through a semipermeable membrane, leaving other bits of matter in its wake.

Answer:

Gene flow

Explanation:

Gene flow describes the process where genetic information migrates to another population, introducing new alleles into the gene pool and increasing the variation in that population.

Having physical barriers would prevent this exchange of information. For example, two populations separated by a mountain range or body of water would have far less chances to interact and exchange genetic material. This would make it difficult for gene flow to occur.
