efficiency = (useful energy transferred ÷ energy supplied) × 100

It's easy to use this formula, but we have to know both the useful energy and the energy supplied.  The drawing doesn't tell us the useful energy, so we have to find a clever way to figure it out.  I see two ways to do it:

<u>Way #1:</u>

We all know about the law of conservation of energy.  So we know that the total energy coming out must be  250J, because that's how much energy is going in.  The wasted energy is 75J, so the rest of the 250J must be the useful energy . . . (250J - 75J) = 175J useful energy.

(useful energy) / (energy supplied) =  (175J) / (250J) = <em>70% efficiency</em>

================================

<u>Way #2: </u>

How much of the energy is wasted ? . . . 75J wasted

What percentage of the Input is that 75J ? . . . 75/250 = 30% wasted

30% of the input energy is wasted.  That leaves the other <em>70%</em> to be useful energy.

A small, positively charged ball is moved close to a large, positively charged ball. which describes how the small ball likely r
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer;

-it will move away from the large ball because like charges repel.

Explanation;

-Electric force is the force that pushes apart two like charges, or that pulls together two unlike charges. The basic law of electrostatics Like charges of electricity repel each other, whereas unlike charges attract each other.

When small, positively charged ball is moved close to a large, positively charged ball it would be pushed away from the large positively charged ball since they are both positively charged. One has to put in energy to try to move the small ball closer to the large ball. The closer one try to move it to the large ball, the more energy one has to put in, so the more electrical potential energy the small ball would have.

castortr0y [4]

Answer:

From the narrative in the question, there seem to have been a break failure and the ordered step of response to this problem is to

1) Put on the hazard light to inform other road users of a problem or potential fault with your car and so they should continue their journey with caution.

2) Avoid pressing on the acceleration pedal as this might cause the car to gradually slow down due to friction and gravity

3)Try navigate the car to the service lane. This is the less busy lane where cars are sometimes parked briefly.

4) Continuously pump the breaks to try stop the car. Continuously pumping the breaks might just help you build enough pressure to stop the car because often time, there are some pressure left in the break.

5) At this point, the speed of the car should be relatively slow. So at this point, you could try apply the emergency hand break. Do not pull the emergency hand breaks if the car is on high speed. Doing this may cause the car to skid off the road.
