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.

Give 1 real life example of a scenario that takes advantage of the inverse relationship between force and time when impulse is c
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

On real life example of a scenario that takes advantage of the inverse relationship between force and time when impulse is constant is when making a serve with a lawn tennis racket

How It is an example of impulse is that when a serve is made by moving the bat slowly, the lawn tennis player uses less force and the ball is in contact with the string for longer a period

When however, the lawn tennis player moves the racket faster, with the strings of the racket highly tensioned  he uses more force and the ball also spends less time on the racket to produce the same momentum

Explanation:

The impulse of a force, ΔP is given by the following formula;

ΔP = F × Δt

Where ΔP is constant, we have;

F ∝ 1/Δt

Therefore, for the same impulse, when the force is increased, the time of contact is decreases and vice versa.
