Answer:

Machine Efficiency

Explanation:

Efficiency is the percent of work put into a machine by the user (input work) that becomes work done by the machine (output work). The output work is always less than the input work because some of the input work is used to overcome friction. Therefore, efficiency is always less than 100 percent

A horizontal spring with spring constant 130 N/m is compressed 17 cm and used to launch a 2.8 kg box across a frictionless, hori

olasank [31]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

k = 130 N/m, $\Delta x$ = 17 cm = 0.17 m (as 1 m = 100 cm)

mass (m) = 2.8 kg

When the spring is compressed then energy stored in it is as follows.

Energy = $\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}$

Now, spring energy gets converted into kinetic energy when the box is launched.

So, $\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}$ = $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

$\frac{1}{2} \times 130 \times (0.17)^{2}$ = $\frac{1}{2} \times 2.8 \times v^{2}$

$v^{2} = \frac{3.757}{2.8}$

= 1.34

v = 1.15 m/sec

Now,

Frictional force = $\mu \times mg$

= $0.15 \times 2.8 \times 9.8$

= 4.116 N

Also, Kinetic energy = work done by friction

$\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = F_{f} \times d$

$\frac{1}{2} \times 2.8 \times (1.15)^{2} = 4.116 \times d$

1.8515 = $4.116 \times d$

d = 0.449 m

Thus, we can conclude that the box slides 0.449 m across the rough surface before stopping.

What is the power of a machine that pushes with a force of 3 n for a distance of 9 m in 8 s?

dalvyx [7]

The work done by the machine is equal to the product between the force applied and the distance over which the force is applieds, so in this case:
$W=Fd=(3 N)(9 m)=27 J$

And the power of the machine is equal to the ratio between the work done by the machine and the time taken:
$P= \frac{W}{t}= \frac{27 J}{8 s}=3.38 W$
