Question

Use the law of conservation of energy to explain why the work output of a machine can never exceed the work input

Answer 1

The law of conservation of energy states that energy is not created nor destroyed, rather it is only transferred or transmitted from one form to another. Now, the work exerted which is the input is only transformed to move the object which is now becomes the output work. Some are used to move the object, some are converted to other forms. That is why it is never greater than the input energy. Thank you for your question. Please don't hesitate to ask in Brainly your queries. 

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the law of energy conservation- energy of a closed system can neither be created nor be destroyed it can be only transformed. In a machine we get supply of input which get converted into different forms, we can not create any additional energy as input so it is possible that all the input energy converts into output( extreme case, when losses are zero) otherwise input energy coverts into many other form(heat, friction,etc) in the process of generating output. So output of a machine can never exceeds the input.
