Question

In a simple machine, the energy input is 120 J. If the efficiency of the machine is 80%, calculate the energy output

Answer 1

Answer:

96 Joules

Explanation:

We know that efficiency is the ratio of output power by input power. i.e. Efficiency describes the quality of machine or system how good it is.

Solution,

Energy input of system = 120 J

Efficiency = 80% = $\frac{80}{100} = 0.8$

Now,

According to definition,

Efficiency = $\frac{output}{input}$

Cross multiplication:

$output \: = \: 0.8 \times 120$

Calculate the product

$output \: = 96 \: joules$

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
