Answer:

57 %

Explanation:

input power = 16.4 kW = 16.4 x 10^3 W = 16400 W

Water pumped per second = 67 L/s

Mass of water pumped per second, m = Volume of water pumped epr second x density of water

m = 67 x 10^-3 x 1000 = 67 kg/s

height raised, h = 14 m

Output Power = m x g x h / t = 67 x 10 x 14 = 9380 W

efficiency = output power / input power = 9380 / 16400 = 0.57

% efficiency = 57 %

thus, the efficiency of the pump is 57 %.

Verdich [7]

Therefore, if the block moves from its position of maximum spring stretch to maximum spring compression in 0.25 s, the time required for a full cycle is twice as much; T = 0.5 s.

Which is an example of current electricity
Reil [10]

Answer:

A or B you choose

Explanation:

This is called current electricity or an electric current. A lightning bolt is one example of an electric current, although it does not last very long. Electric currents are also involved in powering all the electrical appliances that you use, from washing machines to flashlights and from telephones to MP3 players.

what is an electrical current, amp, ampere Current is the flow of electrons. When a circuit is closed then a current of electrons can flow and when a circuit is open then no current can flow. We can measure the flow of electrons just like you can measure the flow of water through a pipe.

Explain what happens to the energy in a group in a system if one object loses energy according to the Law of Conservation of Ene
konstantin123 [22]

energy never disappears, for example, if you give some kinetic energy to a ball and it stops few seconds later, friction steals this energy to ground which ball was going on. "Law of Conservation of Energy" tell us that energy can't disappear
