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

What are the starting materials for nuclear fission
aliina [53]
In normal fission reactors, the fuel used to start the nuclear fission is Uranium-235. 
Generally, fuel rods enriched with uranium-235 are used to start the fission. When a nucleus of uranium-235 absorbs a neutron, it becomes unstable and then it breaks apart, producing two smaller nuclei, several neutrons and energy. The additional neutrons produced in the reaction are then absorbed by other nuclei of uranium-235, triggering other fission reactions, and so on.

Which of the following mixture can be separate using decantation method?​
vivado [14]

Answer:

Hi sorry for answering here but you didnt put the options there

Explanation:

I'll still try to answer though so maybe the mixture from one of the questions might be something like oil and water which don't mix and can be separated by decantation so something similar would work. Hope this helps

balu736 [363]

Answer:

William Ferrel created a tide-prediction machine.

Explanation:

  • William Ferrel create a machine in late 19th century that was the best combination of mechanical parts and computer coding.
  • It was a mechanical analog computer that could predict the ebb of tides and even the height of tides that could be irregular.
  • It was widely used for marine networks and navigation. Later on many improvisations and additional features were added on it.
  • During the world war times, this tide prediction machine was of great use for military purpose.

Range of motion is the distance an object can travel when separated from another object. Please select the best answer from the
Lady_Fox [76]
Based on the given statement above, the correct answer would be FALSE. It is not true that range of motion is the distance an object can travel when separated from another object because range of motion or ROM is the distance--linear or angular--<span>that a movable object may normally travel while properly ATTACHED (not separated) to another. Hope this answer helps.</span>
