Answer:

<em>Efficiency</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>machine </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>defined </em><em>as</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>ratio</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>output </em><em>work</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>input </em><em>work </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>machine </em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>It</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>expressed</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>percentage </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>denote</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em>

<em>η</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em> </em><em>eta</em><em>)</em><em>.</em>

Mechanical efficiency is a measure of how well the machine converts the input work or energy into some useful output. It is calculated by dividing the output work by the input work. The ideal machine has mechanical efficiency equal to unity, while the real machine has mechanical efficiency less than unity

The spring of a spring balance is 6.0 in. long when there is no weight on the balance, and it is 8.4 in. long with 4.0 lb hung f
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

W = 55.12 J

Explanation:

Given,

Natural length = 6 in

Force = 4 lb,  stretched length = 8.4 in

We know,

F = k x

k is spring constant

4 = k (8.4-6)

k = 1.67 lb/in

Work done to stretch the spring to 10.1 in.

W =k\int_{6}^{10.1} x

W = \dfrac{k}{2}[x^2]_6^{10.1}

W = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.67\times (10.1^2-6.0^2)

W = 55.12 J

Work done in stretching spring from 6 in to 10.1 in is equal to 55.12 J.

What is demonstrated by water moving up a straw?
Alja [10]
<span>The answer is C: water is drawn up a straw by cohesion and adhesion. Water molecules stick to one another and the walls of the straw, just like in a capillary.
Cohesion is the attractive force between like materials (between water
molecules).
Adhesion is the attractive force between twounlike materials (such as between
water and a solid container).
Capillary action is the tendency of a liquid to rise innarrow tubes or small openings as a result of adhesion and cohesion.
The liquid water molecules bind to the straw—a process known as adhesion.  In the narrow space of the straw, the interaction of cohesion and adhesion causes theliquid to be drawn upward in the straw.</span>

The equivalence between gravitational and inertial mass is explained in : the set of all of the events that happened on Earth
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The correct answer is theory of general relativity.

Explanation:

According to the statement of equivalence the gravitational mass force on an object standing on the surface of earth is same as the pseudo force that acts on it if it accelerated at acceleration equal to acceleration due to gravity.

According to Einestine both the forces are indistinguishable  as both the forces produce same effects. Thus both are equivalent and thus gravity is a phenomenon that can be analysed in a radically different way which gives some strange results such as bending of light, existence of black holes,e.t.c
