That ratio is called"efficiency".  It doesn't need to be a percent. 
It can just as well be a fraction or a decimal number.

Jerry the mouse is running along a straight desert road at a constant velocity of 18 m/s. If a certain Tom cat wants to capture
Kruka [31]

Answer:

a) t = 1.75 s

b) x = 31.5 m

Explanation:

a) The time at which Tom should drop the net can be found using the following equation:

y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{oy}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

Where:

y_{f}: is the final height = 0

y₀: is the initial height = 15 m

g: is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v_{0y}: is the initial vertical velocity of the net = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

0 = 15m - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}*t^{2}

t = \sqrt{\frac{2*15 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 1.75 s

Hence, Tom should drop the net at 1.75 s before Jerry is under the bridge.

b) We can find the distance at which is Jerry when Tom drops the net as follows:

v = \frac{x}{t}

x = v*t = 18 m/s*1.75 m = 31.5 m

Then, Jerry is at 31.5 meters from the bridge when Jerry drops the net.

I hope it helps you!

A small 16 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 4 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?
seraphim [82]

Kinetic Energy,K.E=1/2MV²

mass,m=16kg

velocity,v=4m/s

K.E=1/2×16×4²

=128kgm²/s²

=128 Joules

Maru [420]

Amplitude: How dense the medium is in the compression part of the wave, and how empty the rarefied area is.

Frequency: The number of wavelengths that pass a position in 1 second.

loudness: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the amplitude of the sound wave.

Period: The amount of time that it takes one wavelength to pass by a position.

Pitch: The quality of the sound that is most closely linked to the frequency of the sound wave.

A 110 V power line is protected by a 15 A fuse. What is the maximum number of 400 W lamps that can be simultaneously operated in
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Total number of lamps will be 4            

Explanation:

We have given power of the lamp W = 400 watt

Potential difference across the lamp V=110 volt

We know that power is equal to P=VI

So 400=110\times I

I=3.636A

Total current is given 15 A

As it is given that lamps are connected in parallel so total current is the sum of current through each lamp

So number of lamp will be n=\frac{15}{3.636}=4.125

As the lamp can not be in negative

So total number of lamps will be 4
