A pulley system operates with 40% efficiency. if the work put in is 200 joules, how much useful work is produced?

2 answers:

8 0

1. Efficiency is the measure of how efficient a process is. It is used to assess the ability of a process in avoiding waste energy, materials, money and time in doing a desirable output. It is calculated as;

Efficiency = useful energy ouput / total energy input

.40 = useful work / 200

useful work = 80 joules

Answer:

The useful work produced by a pulley system is 80 Joules.

Explanation:

Efficiency is a measure of how much work is preserved in a process. The formula for efficiency is the energy output, divided by the energy input, expressed as a percentage. A perfect process would have an efficiency of 100%.

η = efficiency (Greek letter "eta")

Wo = the work or energy produced by a process. Units are Joules (J).

Wi = the work or energy put in to a process. Units are Joules (J).

$n = \frac{Wo}{Wi}$

$0.4 = \frac{Wo}{200J}$

Wo = 0.4*200J

Wo = 80 J

An 80- quarterback jumps straight up in the air right before throwing a 0.43- football horizontally at 15 . How fast will he be

lord [1]

Answer:

the quarterback will be moving back at speed of 0.080625 m/s

the distance moved horizontally by the quarterback is 0.0241875 m or 2.41875 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

How fast will he be moving backward just after releasing the ball?

using conservation of momentum;

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

v₂ = m₁v₁ / m₂

where m₁ is initial mass ( 0.43 kg )

m₂ is the final mass ( 80 kg )

v₁ is the initial velocity ( 15 m/s )

v₂ is the final velocity

so we substitute

v₂ = ( 0.43 × 15 ) / 80

v₂ = 6.45 / 80

v₂ = 0.080625 m/s

Therefore, the quarterback will be moving back at speed of 0.080625 m/s

b) Suppose that the quarterback takes 0.30 to return to the ground after throwing the ball. How far d will he move horizontally, assuming his speed is constant?

we make use of the relation between time, distance and speed;

s = d/t

d = st

where s is the speed ( 0.080625 m/s )

t is time ( 0.30 s )

so we substitute

d = 0.080625 × 0.30

d = 0.0241875 m or 2.41875 cm

Therefore, the distance moved horizontally by the quarterback is 0.0241875 m or 2.41875 cm

A piston–cylinder assembly contains 5.0 kg of air, initially at 2.0 bar, 30 oC. The air undergoes a process to a state where th

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Explanation:

The process is isothermic, as P V = constant .

work done = 2.303 n RT log P₁ / P₂

= 2.303 x 5 / 29 x 8.3 x 303 log 2 / 1 kJ

= 300.5k J

This energy in work done by the gas will come fro heat supplied as internal energy is constant due to constant temperature.

heat supplied = 300.5k J

specific volume is volume per unit mass

v / m

pv = n RT

pv = m / M RT

v / m = RT / p M

specific volume = RT / p M

option B is correct.

supose you have two wires of equal length made from same material. how is it possible for the wires to have different resistance

I'm not sure but I had this question on a benchmark I think its the density of the wire you need to find the density or the mass I'm not sure but i do remember this question
