How is the percent efficiency of a machine determined?

1 answer:

3 0

Since work is the change in kinetic energy, the efficiency of a machine can be stated as the percentage of the output work divided by the input work minus the work lost from to friction and heat. Multiply Eff by 100% to get the efficiency percentage.

a force vector f has a magnitude of 12.0 n. it is oriented 60° to the left of the y ax what are its x and y components?

Arte-miy333 [17]

The force vector that has a magnitude of 12.0 N. and is oriented 60° to the left of the (y) has the followings components:

v(x) =6 N
v(y) = 10.39 N

To solve this exercise the formulas and procedures we will use are:

v(x) = v * cosine (angle)
v(y) = v * sine (angle).

Where:

v= magnitude of the vector
v(x) = component of the vector on the (x) axis
v(y) = component of the vector on the (y) axis
angle = angle

Information about the problem:

angle = 60º
v = 12.0 N
v(x)= ?
v(y)= ?

Applying the formula of the component of the vector in the (x) axis we have:

v(x) = v * cosine (angle).

v(x) = 12.0 N * cosine (60º)

v(x) =6 N

Applying the formula of the component of the vector in the (y) axis we have:

v(y) = v * sine (angle)

v(y) = 12.0 N * sine (60º)

v(y) = 10.39 N

<h3>What is a vector?</h3>

It can be said to be a straight line described by a point (a) and (b) that has direction and sense.

Nuclear _________ reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun. A) fission

Bogdan [553]

Nuclear fusion reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fusion reaction is one among the two nuclear reactions in which the atoms nucleus interact with each other to produce the products. In nuclear fusion, two smaller atoms react together to form a new atom with bigger size.

So large amount of energy is required to start the nuclear fusion reaction. The fusion reactions mostly occurs in stars. The illumination in Stars even the Sun is due to nuclear fusion reaction occurring with the atoms present in them.

Mostly the energy radiated by Sun is due to the protons-protons chain reaction. In this chain reaction, the protons get converted into helium due to nuclear fusion reaction, thus becoming the source of all energy radiated by the Sun.

A solenoid with an air core has a magnetic field pointing along its axis in the positive x direction. This solenoid is then fill

trapecia [35]

Answer:

we can say that with a smaller magnitude , the field will point is in same direction

Explanation:

we have given that

solenoid is filled with a diamagnetic material and with air, magnetic field pointing along its axis in the positive x direction

so in small magnitude, the field will point is in same direction

A 6.72 particle moves through a region of space where an electric field of magnitude 1270 N/C points in the positive direction,

Romashka [77]

Answer:

$v_{y} = -104 m/s$

Explanation:

Using:

Force = electric field * charge

$F=e*q$

Force = magnitude of charge * velocity * magnetic field * sin tither

$F_{x2}= |q|*v*B*sin \alpha$

Force on particle due to electric field:

$F_{x1}= E*q = (1270N/C)*(-6.72*10^{-6} ) = -8.53*10^{-3}$

Force on particle due to magnetic field:

$F_{x2}= |q|*v*B*sin \alpha = (6.72*10^{-6} )*(1.15)*(sin90)*v = (7.728*10^{-6})*(v)$

$F_{x2}$ is in the positive x direction as $F_{x1}$ is in the negative x direction while net force is in the positive x direction.

Magnetic field is in the positive Z direction, net force is in the positive x direction.

According to right hand rule, Force acting on particle is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field and velocity of particle. This would mean the force is along the y-axis. As this is a negatively charged particle, the direction of the velocity of the particle is reversed. Therefore velocity of particle, v, has to be in the negative y direction.

Now,

$F_{xnet}- F_{x1 } = F_{x2 }$

$(6.13*10^{-3}) - (8.53*10^{-3} ) = (7.728*10^{-6})*(v)$

$v = (F_{xnet} - F_{x1}) / (F_{x2} )$

$=((6.13*10^{-3} ) - (8.53*10^{-3})) / (7.728*10^{-6})$

$= (- 104.25) m/s$

$v_{y} = -104 m/s$
