Question

The efficiency of a modern bicycle is 95% if you exert 200 Joules of input work pedaling a bicycle on level ground what is the useful output work?

Answer 1

Answer:

95 J

Explanation:

You can calculate efficiency by dividing useful output by total input, then multiplying it to 100.

So the foumula goes like:

Efficiency= (Useful output/Total input)x100

In this question,

Efficiency= 95%

Useful output= x

Total input= 200

Therefore;

95=(x/200)x100

0.95=x/100

x=0.95x100

x=95 Joules
