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.

A 2 kg object has a specific heat capacity of 1,700 J/(kg \cdot⋅oC)
Nutka1998 [239]

The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 2kg object from 15°C to 25°C is 34000J.

HOW TO CALCULATE SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY:

  • The amount of heat absorbed by an object can be calculated by using the following expression:

  • Q = m.c.∆T

Where;

  1. Q = amount of heat absorbed or released (J)
  2. m = mass of object
  3. c = specific heat capacity (J/g°C)
  4. ∆T = change in temperature (°C)

  • According to this question, 2 kg object has a specific heat capacity of 1,700J/kg°C and was raised from a temperature of 15 Celsius to 25 Celsius. The heat absorbed is calculated as follows:

  • Q = 2 × 1700 × {25 - 15}

  • Q = 3400 × 10

  • Q = 34000J

  • Therefore, the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a 2kg object from 15°C to 25°C is 34000J.

Eric is creating a timeline of the formation of the solar system. Which sequence best describes the formation of the solar syste
vlada-n [284]

The answer is C. nebular are star nurseries. When the massive gas being collapsing in its own weight. Local areas of gas begin to coalesce under gravity. Due to enormous pressure, nuclear fusion begins and a protostar is formed. The protostar grows into the sun as more hydrogen fuses at the core. The planetesimal materials at the edges of the protostellar discs coalesce to form planets that orbit the star.
