A machine requires 2,000 joules to raise a 20. Kilogram block a distance of 6.0 meters. How efficient is the machine?

1 answer:

4 0

Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) .

To raise the 20kg block 6 meters, you need to give it

(20 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (6 m) = 1,176 joules

of potential energy.

Your machine takes 2,000 joules of energy to give the block
the 1,176 joules that it takes.

Your machine is only (1176 / 2000) = 58.8% efficient .

The other 'missing' 824 joules of energy doesn't just disappear.
It heats the machine, and the air around it. The final result is
that when you use that machine to lift blocks, you have to use
even MORE energy, to blow cool air on the machine and prevent
it from overheating and breaking.

The driver of a 2.0 × 10³ kg red car traveling on the highway at 45m/s slams on his brakes to avoid striking a second yellow car

nignag [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

a = F/m = 7500/2000 = 3.75 m/s²

v² = u² + 2as

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

s = (0² - 45²) / (2(-3.75))

s = 270 m

State an advantage of using such hydraulic jack to lift a load

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

You are going to lift and press down on the 200 N many times and move only a short distance. The reward is that slowly but surely you will lift a very heavy load -- one that cannot be managed any other way but by the hydraulic jack.
