Answer:

The efficiency of a screw is low because of friction.

Explanation:

A screw is a simple machine that is used to convert a torque to linear force and rotational motion to linear motion. The efficiency of a screw is given by :

$\eta=\dfrac{Fl}{2\pi T}$

Where

l = pitch distance in mm

T = torque in N-m

The efficiency of screw is less because the output is less as compared to input or there is more input than output. This implies that there is more friction.

Hence, the correct option is (b) "friction".

The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the second option. A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. The efficiency of a screw is low because there is more input than output. In other words, it is because of friction. Hope this answer helps.

How does a television have a negative effect on the environment

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Too much screen time can be a bad thing: Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight. Kids who view violent acts on TV are more likely to show aggressive behavior, and to fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. When we considered the whole television chain of production, distribution and consumption, we found that the largest environmental impact associated with a television programme was not the energy consumed in making it, but the energy used by the millions of televisions, set-top boxes and other consumer devices involved

Weekend A Assignment Differentiate between forced and damped oscillation

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

A damped oscillation means an oscillation that fades away with time while Forced oscillations occur when an oscillating system is driven by a periodic force that is external to the oscillating system.

Explanation:

Damping is the reduction in amplitude (energy loss from the system) due to overcomings of external forces like friction or air resistance and other resistive forces. ... When a body oscillates by being influenced by an external periodic force, it is called forced oscillation.

Heat is added to a 2kg piece of ice at a rate of 793kW. How long will it take for ice to melt if it was initially 0?

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

0.84 s

Explanation:

Step 1

Given information:

Mass of the ice (m) = 2.0 kg

Heat transfer rate (Q/T) = 793.0 kW

Latent heat of fusion of ice (Lf) = 334 kJ/kg

$\frac{Q}{T} = \frac{mLf}{T}$

Substituting the corresponding values we have:

$793.0 kW= \frac{2.0kg(334 kJ/kg)}{T} \\ T = \frac{2.0kg(334 kJ/kg)}{793.0kW} = \frac{668kJ}{793kW} \\ = 0.84s$

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.
