Efficiency of machine is defined by

\eta = \frac{W_{output}}{Q_{input}}

here we know that

W_{output} = output useful work

Q_{input} = input energy

Now here if we obtain output work same as input thermal energy then it is 100% efficient

but this is only possible when we have no energy loss while it is not possible due to many reasons

one of the main cause of energy loss is friction

So when machine working there must be friction between its working parts due to which out input energy is lost in different parts and hence we can never be 100% efficient machine.

So here main reason is FRICTIONAL LOSS

Anton [14]

Answer:

The energy dissipated as the puck slides over the rough patch is 1.355 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the hockey puck, m = 0.159 kg

initial speed of the puck, u = 4.75 m/s

final speed of the puck, v = 2.35 m/s

The energy dissipated as the puck slides over the rough patch is given by;

ΔE = ¹/₂m(v² - u²)

ΔE = ¹/₂ x 0.159 (2.35² - 4.75²)

ΔE = -1.355 J

the lost energy is 1.355 J

Therefore, the energy dissipated as the puck slides over the rough patch is 1.355 J
