You input 75 J of work with a wedge. If the wedge does 65 J of useful work, what if the efficiency of the wedge ?

Physics

zavuch27 [327]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Efficiency of wedge is the ratio of "work done by the machine to the work supplied to the machine".

           Efficiency (η) = Work done by machine ÷ Work supplied

                                  = 65 ÷ 75

                                 = 0.86%

<em>Efficiency of wedge is 86%</em>

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Work done by the machine (W) =  500 × 1.5 = 750 J

Work supplied to the machine (W) = 100 × 10 = 1000 J

              Here, work supplied to the machine is input work = 1000 J

a 15 kg tv sots on a shelf at a height of 0.3 m. how much gravitational potential energy is added to the television when it is l
nata0808 [166]
Gravitational potential energy can be described as m*g*h (mass times gravity times height).

Originally,
15kg * 9.8m/s^2 *0.3 m = 44.1 kg*m^2/s^2 = 44.1 Joules.

After it is moved to a 1m shelf:
15kg * 9.8m/s * 1 = 147 kg*m^2/s^2= 147 Joules.

To find how much energy was added, we subtract final energy from initial energy:

147 J - 44.1 J = 102.9 Joules.

As you may well know, placing metal objects inside a microwave oven can generate sparks. Two of your friends are arguing over th
Fofino [41]

Answer:

5.04\cdot 10^8 A

Explanation:

The work function of the metal corresponds to the minimum energy needed to extract a photoelectron from the metal. In this case, it is:

\phi = 3.950\cdot 10^{-19}J

So, the energy of the incoming photon hitting on the metal must be at least equal to this value.

The energy of a photon is given by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck's constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the photon

Using E=\phi and solving for \lambda, we find the maximum wavelength of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{3.950\cdot 10^{-19} J}=5.04\cdot 10^{-7}m

And since

1 angstrom = 10^{-15}m

The wavelength in angstroms is

\lambda=\frac{5.04\cdot 10^{-7} m}{10^{-15} m/A}=5.04\cdot 10^8 A
