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

1 answer:

8 0

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.

There are six classes of nutrients that must be considered when planning your diet: water, proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitami

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Essential nutrients cannot be synthesized by the human body but are required for optimal functioning. Therefore. They must be obtained from food. Omega-3 fatty acids are prime examples.

You consume macronutrients (water. proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) in large quantities as opposed to micronutrients which you consume in small quantities

Dehydration can develop very quickly when exercising in hot/humid weather conditions.

Proteins are also called 'bodybuilders" due to their function within the body. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

Explanation:

Essential nutrients are those nutrients that are required for the proper functioning of the body but cannot be synthesized by the body. They are obtained from external sources such as vegetables or synthesized artificially in the laboratories. Micronutrients as the name implies are taken in small amounts. Examples are the different types of vitamins.

Dehydration occurs when a person loses a good amount of water through sweating or urination. It can easily occur while exercising in hot weather conditions. Proteins repair the cells in our body and are, therefore, rightfully referred to as bodybuilders. Amino acids form proteins.

PLEASE HELP How do Creeping Thistles (flowering vascular plant) adapt to life on land??

yulyashka [42]

Creeping thistle continuously survives through easy germination of seeds. The Creeping thistle seed can be buried in undisturbed soil for over 20 years and still become growable. And also, the roots help in their growth. They absorb nutrients and regenerate to form new plants. Although the roots may be able to penetrate some meters down, most regeneration occurs within or just below the plow layer. Portions of the adjacent roots become thick due to the developing storage tissue which is where new shoots are formed.

Kaylis [27]

Gradual changes in the frequency of diseases over long periods are known as SECULAR TIME TRENDS. For example, the rate of mortality in USA due to coronary heart diseases over a period of time. Onset of puberty in girls is also a secular time trend.
Secular time trend is also referred as Secular Variation and Secular Drift.
