Efficiency of a simple machine is the ratio of mechanical advantage and speed ratio.

If mechanical advantage = speed ratio then efficiency = 1
Which is impossible for a practical machine due to presence of frictional force which wastes some energy and thus lowers the output

A car travels at a speed of 40 m/s for 29.0 s;<br>what is the distance traveled by the car?

lianna [129]

Answer: 1160 m

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time. Plug in 40 m/s for speed and 29 s for time in order to get the distance, 1160 m.

A 77.0−kg short-track ice skater is racing at a speed of 12.6 m/s when he falls down and slides across the ice into a padded wal

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

-6112.26 J

Explanation:

The initial kinetic energy, $KE_i$ is given by

$KE_i=0.5mv_1^{2$ } where m is the mass of a body and $v_i$ is the initial velocity

The final kinetic energy, $KE_f$ is given by

$KE_f=0.5mv_f^{2}$ where $v_f$ is the final velocity

Change in kinetic energy, $\triangle KE$ is given by

$\triangle KE=KE_f-KE_i=0.5mv_f^{2}-0.5mv_1^{2}=0.5m(v_f^{2}-v_i^{2})$

Since the skater finally comes to rest, the final velocity is zero. Substituting 0 for $v_f$ and 12.6 m/s for $v_i$ and 77 Kg for m we obtain

$\triangle KE=0.5*77*0^{2}-0.5*77*(0^{2}-12.6^{2})=-6112.26 J$

From work energy theorem, work done by a force is equal to the change in kinetic energy hence for this case work done equals <u>-6112.26 J</u>

ASAP PLS HELP<br> What is chemical potential energy?

mash [69]

Answer:

chemical potential of a species is energy that can be absorbed or released due to a change of the particle number of the given species, e.g. in a chemical reaction or phase transition.
