An engine has an energy input of 125 J, and 35 J of that energy is transformed into useful energy. What is the efficiency of the

engine?

Efficiency = (useful output) / (input)

Efficiency = (35 J) / (125 J) = 0.28  =  28%

Efficiency is equal to 35 / 125 * 100 which is equal to 28%.


Efficiency is the ratio of the useful work performed by a machine or in a process to the total energy that it consumed.


So basically it is the useful output which in this case was 35 J divided by the total input given to the machine which was 125 J in this case multiplying by 100 to get the percentage.


If we did not need the percentage then we could have simply not multiplied it by 100.

Answer:

South

Explanation:

newton's third law explains for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. the action is dropping the beanbag but because he is moving forward and gravity is pulling it down, the momentum is transferred to the beanbag and its reaction is to move south. North would be if he threw it.

The speed of sound in ice, water, and steam is shown. What best explains the speed of sound in different states of matter?
Marina86 [1]

The speed of sound is greater in ice (4000 m/s), then in water (1500 m/s), then in air (340 m/s). The explanation for this is the differente state of the matter in the three cases.

In fact, sound waves travel faster in solids (like ice), then in liquids (like water), then in gases (like air). This is because the speed of the sound wave depends on the density of the medium: the greater the density, the faster the sound wave. This can be easily understood by thinking at how a sound wave propagates: a sound wave is a vibration of molecules, which is transmitted throughout the medium by collision of the molecules. Therefore, the smaller the spacing between the molecules (such as in solids), the more efficient is the propagation, and so the sound wave is faster. On the contrary, there is a large spacing between molecules in gases (such as in the air), so there are less collisions between the molecules and so the wave is not transmitted efficiently, and so it has less velocity.

Difference between displacement and vector quantity
daser333 [38]

The only 'difference' is that they are different categories.

It's like asking "What's the difference between Susie and girl ?"

Or "What's the difference between Cadillac and car ?"

Displacement <em>IS</em> a vector quantity.
