By the law of conservation of energy, the energy input to a system must equal the output. However, when there are more moving parts in a machine, like in a complex machine, the energy converted to non-useful energy, such as the production of heat energy via friction, is increased. Therefore, the more the moving parts, the greater the losses of energy due to increased friction. This is why complex machines are less efficient.

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

A renewable resource is one in which the rate at which its being replenished is higher than the rate at which it is being used up.

For example, the air we breathe is a renewable resource because it doesn't get used up as we draw it.

  • If the rate of drawing down a ground water supply exceeds the rate of its recharge, then such a water source is non-renewable.
