An engine converts 95% of its energy to mechanical. What happens to the other 5% of its energy?

Physics
1 answer:
Elza [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Here, 5% of energy wasted as a heat lost or work done against frictional forces.

Explanation:

No engine has yet made that can convert its all input energy into mechanical energy. Some of the input energy goes in vain in the form of heat and friction.

A heat engine does 9200 J of work per cycle while absorbing 22.0 kcal of heat from a hightemperature reservoir. What is the effi
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: 9.9%

Explanation: efficiency = (work output /work input) × 100

Note that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules, hence 22kcal = 22× 4184 = 92048 joules.

Work output = 9200 j and work input = 92048 j

Efficiency = (9200/92048) × 100 = 0.099 × 100 = 9.9%

Why can’t solids flow
Annette [7]

Answer:

basically they have too much mass in them

Explanation:

They are held tightly together by strong forces of attraction. They are held in fixed positions but they do vibrate. Because the particles don't move, solids have a definite shape and volume, and can't flow. Because the particles are already packed closely together, solids can't easily be compressed.

Lab: Motion
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: In this lab we wanted to know how motion can be described. So the hypothesis is if the starting height of a sloped racetrack is increased, then the speed at which a toy car travels along the track will increase because the toy car will have a greater acceleration. My prediction is that cars travel faster on higher tracts. So the heighten the track was intentionally manipulated. So it is the independent variable the speed of the car is the dependent variable. The speed at the first quarter checkpoint is 1.09 m/s. The speed at the second quarter checkpoint is 1.95 m/s. The speed at the third quarter checkpoint is 2.373.36 m/s. The speed at the finish line is  2.803.00 m/s. The average speed increases as the height increases.

The cars on the higher track travel farther than the cars on the lower track, in the same time.

This means that the cars on the higher track have a greater average speed than those on the lower track. This is demonstrated by the

slope of the higher track line being greater than the slope of the lower track line.

Explanation: put it in notes then send it to files to compress it to submit it.

Two resistors, R1=3.85 Ω and R2=6.47 Ω , are connected in series to a battery with an EMF of 24.0 V and negligible internal resi
Bond [772]

Answer:

(a) 2.33 A

(b) 15.075 V

Explanation:

From the question,

The total resistance (Rt) = R1+R2 = 3.85+6.47

R(t) = 10.32 ohms.

Applying ohm's law,

V = IR(t)..........equation 1

Where V = Emf of the battery, I = current flowing through the circuit, R(t) = combined resistance of both resistors.

Note: Since both resistors are connected in series, the current flowing through them is the same.

Therefore,

I = V/R(t)............. Equation 2

Given: V = 24 V, R(t) = 10.32 ohms

Substitute these values into equation 2

I = 24/10.32

I = 2.33 A.

Hence the current through R1 = 2.33 A.

V2 = IR2.............. Equation 3

V2 = 2.33(6.47)

V2 = 15.075 V
