Ethan is using a machine to mix cement. The work input is 10 and the work output is 8. What is the efficiency of the

1 answer:

4 0

Efficiency or $\eta$ is calculated by formula: $\eta=\frac{W_{output}}{W_{input}}$ where $\eta\leq1$ also efficiency has no unit.

Now put in the data and calculate the efficiency.

$\eta=\frac{8}{10}=\boxed{0.8}$

The efficiency of the machine is 0.8

If you want to get percentage just multiply by 100 and you get 80%

Hope this helps.

Answer:

2πc/w

Explanation:

To find the wavelength you take into account the difference in energy of two adjacent states n+1 and n:

$E_{n+1,n}=\hbar \omega((n+1)+\frac{1}{2})+\hbar \omega(n+\frac{1}{2})\\\\E_{n+1,n}=\hbar \omega$ (1)

hbar = h/2π

this energy is also the energy of an emitted photon in the transition, that is:

$E_{\lambda}=h\frac{c}{\lambda}$ (2)

you equal the equations (1) and (2) and compute the wavelength:

$E_{\lambda}=E_{n+1,n}\\\\h\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{h}{2\pi}\omega\\\\\lambda=\frac{2\pi c}{\omega}$

hence, the wavelength of the emitted photon is 2πc/w

What is the theory of punctuated equilibrium answers?

kherson [118]

The theory of punctuated equilibrium states that is a species appear in a fossil record, they will become stable over time and can show little changes in evolution as time goes by. An example would be the feline creatures. Although cats and tigers have a different structure in their body, the facial structure and the way they hunt are similar.
