Why does friction reduce a machine's efficiency

1 answer:

4 0

Force causes an object to move in the same direction that the force is applied. Friction reduces efficiency when two surfaces slide past each other, also friction resists their motion, and in machines, some input work is always used to overcome friction.

When nuclear fission occurs some mass is lost where does that mass go

horrorfan [7]

The loss of matter is called the mass defect. The missing matter is converted into energy. You can actually calculate the amount of energy produced during a nuclear reaction with fairly simple equation developed by Albert Einstein; E = mc^2. In this equation, E is the amount of energy produced, m is the missing mass, or the mass defect, and c is the speed of light, which is a rather large number. The speed of light is squared, making that part of the equation a very large number that, even when multiplied by a small amount of mass, yields a large amount of energy.

In Thomson’s experiment, why was the glowing beam repelled by a negatively charged plate?

Svetllana [295]

The glowing beam was repelled by a negatively charged plate because they were negatively charged

<h3>What are the nature of charges?</h3>

The nature of charges refers to the properties of charges.

There are two types of charges:

negative charges
positive charges

The law of electricity states that opposite charges attract whereas like charges repel.

Therefor, in Thomson’s experiment, the glowing beam was repelled by a negatively charged plate because they were negatively charged

In conclusion, like charges repel while opposite charges attract.

Looking straight downward into a rain puddle whose surface is covered with a thin film of gasoline, you notice a swirling patter

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Explanation:

Point beneath you forms a beautiful iridescent green

refractive index of Gasoline $n=1.38$

Wavelength of Green light is $\lambda =540\ nm$

Here light first traverse from air(n=1) to gasoline , it reflects from front surface of gasoline(n=1.38) so it suffers a phase change. After this light reflect from rear surface of gasoline and there is a decrease in refractive index(n=1.38 to n=1.33), so there is no phase change occurs .

For constructive interference

$2t=(m+\frac{1}{2})\cdot \frac{\lambda }{n}$

here t= thickness of gasoline film

n=refractive index

for $m=0$

$t=\frac{\lambda }{4n}$

$t=\frac{540}{4\times 1.38}$

$t=97.82\approx 98\ nm$

Why does the evaporation of sweat cool down your skin?

Ne4ueva [31]

So sweat helps cool you down two ways. First, it makes your skin feel cooler when it's wet. And when it evaporates it removes some heat. But sweat will only evaporatoin an environment where there isn't much water in the air.
