What is the main reason the chemical energy of a fuel is never entirely converted to mechanical energy in an engine?

Physics
1 answer:
IgorLugansk [536]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Option A) Some of the energy is lost as heat

Explanation:

Energy conversion is not always 100% accurate. In engines, due to the friction generated as machine parts roll over another some of the chemical energy of the fuel is lost as heat. That is why machine parts are lubricated to reduce friction, and then energy loss.

Thus, 100% chemical energy does not yield 100% mechanical energy, as some are lost as heat.

What unit is used for the value of G in Newton's Law of Universal<br> Gravitation?<br> *
Helga [31]

Answer:

In SI units, its value is approximately 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2. The modern notation of Newton's law involving G was introduced in the 1890s by C. V. Boys. The first implicit measurement with an accuracy within about 1% is attributed to Henry Cavendish in a 1798 experiment.

N76 [4]

Answer:

59.4 meters

Explanation:

The correct question statement is :

A floor polisher has a rotating disk that has a 15-cm radius. The disk rotates at a constant angular velocity of 1.4 rev/s and is covered with a soft material that does the polishing. An operator holds the polisher in one place for 4.5 s, in order to buff an especially scuff ed area of the floor. How far (in meters) does a spot on the outer edge of the disk move during this time?

Solution:

We know for a circle of radius r and θ angle by an arc of length S at the center,

S=rθ

This gives

θ=S/r

also we know angular velocity

ω=θ/t    where t is time

or

θ=ωt

and we know

1 revolution =2π radians

From this we have

angular velocity ω = 1.4 revolutions per sec =  1.4×2π radians /sec = 1.4×3.14×2×= 8.8 radians / sec

Putting values of ω and time t in

θ=ωt

we have

θ= 8.8 rad / sec × 4.5 sec

θ= 396 radians

We are given radius r = 15 cm = 15 ×0.01 m=0.15 m (because 1 m= 100 cm and hence, 1 cm = 0.01 m)

put this value of θ and r  in

S=rθ

we have

S= 396 radians ×0.15 m=59.4 m

A truck moves 30 km West, and then 40 km North, and then travels in a straight path back to its starting
SpyIntel [72]

Distance = (30+40+50) = 120 km

It's back where it started, so displacement = zero
