Answer:

The efficiency can be found using the formula ;

efficiency=energy output divided by energy input ×100%.

efficiency=8.0j÷ 20j × 100%

efficiency=0.4 ×100%

efficiency=40%.

the efficiency of the hammer strike was 40%. vibration and heating of the nail are two possible reasons for the energy loss.

Answer:

efficiancy=40 percent

Explanation:

efficiency=energy output/energy input×100

efficiancy=8J/20J×100

efficiancy=0.4×100

efficiancy=40 percent

A scientist spends most of her time observing the motion of objects and how they behave. Which branch of science is she most lik
olga55 [171]
The scientist is likely to be studying kinematics.
Kinematics is the branch of science, specifically physics, which is concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces that induce this motion. An example of kinematics is studying the change in velocity of an object over time or the distance covered by an object in a specified amount of time.

If a soundproof door is almost shut but still leaves a small opening, what wave phenomenon is responsible for someone being able
lana66690 [7]

The phenomenon which is responsible for this effect is called diffraction.

Diffraction is the ability of a wave to propagate when it meets an obstacle or a slit. When the wave encounters the obstacle or the slit, it 'bends' around it and it continues propagate beyond it. A classical example of this phenomenon is when a sound wave propagates through a wall where there is a small aperture (as in the example of this problem)

How much heat must be removed from 200 pounds of blanched vegetables at 189 degrees F to freeze them to a temperature of 22 degr
Virty [35]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to heat exchange in the vegetable and water.

By definition the exchange of heat is given by

Q =mc\Delta T

where,

m = mass

c = specific heat

\Delta T = Change in temperature

Therefore the total heat exchange is given as

\Delta Q = Q_w+Q_v

\Delta Q = m_wc_w(T_i-T_f)+m_vc_v(T_i-T_f)

Our values are given as,

Total mass is M_T = 200lb ,however the mass of solid vegetable and water is given as,

m_v= 0.4*200lb = 80lb

m_w=0.6*200lb=120lb

T_i = 183\°F\\T_f = 22\°F\\c_w = 1Btu/lbF\\c_v = 0.24Btu/lbF

Replacing at our equation we have,

\Delta Q = m_wc_w(T_i-T_f)+m_vc_v(T_i-T_f)

\Delta Q = (120)(1)(183-22)+(80)(0.24)(183-22)

\Delta Q = 22411.2Btu

Therefore the heat removed is 22411.2 Btu
