Physics

Answer:

The efficiency of a screw is low because of <u>friction</u>.

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. <span>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.</span>

What is the difference between a physical change and a chemical change
Contact [7]
A physical change in something doesn't change what the it is. For example, if you break glass, it will still be glass. In a chemical change where there is a chemical reaction, a new thing is formed and energy is either given off or absorbed. For example, when you burn a log. The carbon in the log is reacting to the oxygen to create ashe and smoke

What is the most appropriate SI unit to express the speed of a cyclist in a 10-km race? km/s cm/h km/h mm/s
Murljashka [212]
You sure wouldn't want something like cm/s or (yikes cm/hr). You want a reasonable number for sports usually between 0 and 100

Km / hour would be a good choice.

The next town to where I live is 25 km away. On a good day, I can make it there in about 3/4 of an hour.

Speed = 25 km / 0.75 hour = 33.3 km/hour. That's actually a little fast most of the time. But you should understand what I mean.
