Why machines have energy efficiency less than 100%

Physics
1 answer:
Natalka [10]4 years ago
6 0
Because of the conservation of energy.  You get out of a machine the energy that you put in in an ideal situation. (energy works like a piggy bank.  If you put in $1.00 you will never get out more than that).  Since machines have internal friction, losses due to heating, air resistance while rotating etc. some of the energy you put in is lost.  It is lost in compensating for these inefficiencies. The efficiency is the ratio of output to input.  Since output is less than input you have a number that is less than 1.

. Maria walked 1.5 miles south to her house in 0.5 hours. What is her speed in miles per hour?
Simora [160]

1) 3 miles/Hour

The speed is defined as the distance covered divided by the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d = 1.5 mi is the distance

t = 0.5 h is the time taken

Substituting,

v=\frac{1.5}{0.5}=3 mi/h

2) 1.34 m/s south

Velocity, instead, is a vector, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. We have:

d=1.5 mi \cdot 1609 m/mi = 2414 m is the displacement in meters

t=0.5 h \cdot 3600 s/h =1800 s is the time taken in seconds

Substituting,

v=\frac{2414 m}{1800 s}=1.34 m/s

And the direction of the velocity is the same as the displacement, so it is south.

In your own words describe the motion of convection currents?
Marysya12 [62]
Convection is the circular motion that occurs as hotter air or liquid increases when the cooler air or liquid drops down, and has faster moving molecules, rendering it less dense. Convection currents within the earth shift layers of magma, and currents are formed by convection in the ocean.

• How can you find the temperature in Fahrenheit when its given in the<br> Celsius scale?<br> I
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

there are conversion scales used for doing that

to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit we use the formula,

T(°F) = T(°C) × 9/5 + 32

and to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius we use,

T(°F) = T(°C) × 5/9 + 32

a transformer has 1,400 turns in the primary coil and 100 turns in the secondary coil. if the primary coil is connected to a 120
harkovskaia [24]

0.56 A is the current of the secondary coil.

transformer is the device that transfer electric energy from one AC circuit to another.

we know that ;

I ∝ 1/n;

where I IS CURRENT and n is NUMBER OF TURNS.

(I) secondary = X A

(n) secondary = 100

(I)  primary  = 0.04 A

(n)  primary  = 1400

USING THIS-----> I ∝ 1/n;

=>

0.04 A/X A =100/1400

=>X=0.56 A

as the current in the transformer is inversely proportional to the number of turns so 0.56 A is the current in the secondary coil.
