Answer: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.

Answer:

No machine is free from the effects of gravity, and even with wonderful lubrication, friction always exists. The energy a machine produces is always less than the energy put into it (energy input). ... That is why 100% efficiency in machines shall not be possible.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Two of Einstein’s influential ideas introduced in 1905 were the theory of special relativity and the concept of a light quantum, which we now call a photon. Beyond 1905, Einstein went further to suggest that freely propagating electromagnetic waves consisted of photons that are particles of light in the same sense that electrons or other massive particles are particles of matter. A beam of monochromatic light of wavelength \lambda (or equivalently, of frequency f) can be seen either as a classical wave or as a collection of photons that travel in a vacuum with one speed, c (the speed of light), and all carrying the same energy, {E}_{f}=hf. This idea proved useful for explaining the interactions of light with particles of matter.

2. An 873 kg dragster accelerates at a rate of 44.6 m/s during a race.
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

<h3>38,673.9N</h3>

Explanation:

According to newton's second law:

Force = mass * acceleration

Given

Mass = 873kg

acceleration = 44.66m/s²

Magnitude of the force is expressed as;

F = ma

F = 873 * 44.6

F = 38,673.9N

<em>Hence the magnitude of the net force exerted on the dragster during this time is 38,673.9N</em>

A capacitor is charged to 8.0×10−4 C , then discharged by connecting a wire between the two plates. 35us after the discharge beg
Anettt [7]

Answer:

The average current is 19.567 A

Solution:

As per the question:

Charge, Q = 8.0\times 10^{- 4}\ C

Time, t = 35\times 10^{- 6}\ s

Now,

We know that current is constituted by the rate of transfer of the charge per unit time. Thus we can write:

I = \frac{Q}{t}                 (1)

Now, the charge that was transferred is 86 % of the original value.

Therefore,

We replace Q by 0.86Q in eqn (1):

I = \frac{0.86\times 8.0\times 10^{- 4}}{35\times 10^{- 6}} = 19.657\ A
