Answer:

The circumference of the Earth is 24818.58 miles

Explanation:

Analysis conceptual : The formula of the circumference is the following:

L= π*D Formula (1)

Where:

L : is the length of the circumference in miles (mi)

π : is the constant

D : is the diameter of the circumference in miles (mi)

Known data

π = 3.1416

D= 7900 miles: Diameter of the Earth

Problem development

We apply the formula 1 to calculate the circumference of the Earth (L):

L= π*7900 miles

L= 24818.58 miles

In a simple machine, the energy input is 120 J. If the efficiency of the machine is 80%, calculate the energy output

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

<h2>96 Joules</h2>

Explanation:

We know that efficiency is the ratio of output power by input power. i.e. Efficiency describes the quality of machine or system how good it is.

Solution,

Energy input of system = 120 J

Efficiency = 80% = $\frac{80}{100} = 0.8$

Now,

According to definition,

Efficiency = $\frac{output}{input}$

Cross multiplication:

$output \: = \: 0.8 \times 120$

Calculate the product

$output \: = 96 \: joules$

Hope this helps...
