Calculate the efficiency of a hair dryer which takes in 4500J of energy per second and transfers 150J as useful heat energy.

Physics

Basile [38]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

η = 0.0333 = 3.33 %

Explanation:

The efficiency of any device is defined as the ratio of the useful output obtained from that device to the input required by the device. Therefore, the general formula to find the efficiency of any device is given as follows:

\eta = \frac{O}{I}

where,

η = efficiency of hair dryer = ?

O = Useful Output Given by the Hair Dryer = 150 J

I = Input Energy Required by the Hair Dryer = 4500 J

Therefore,

\eta = \frac{150\ J}{4500\ J}\\

<u>η = 0.0333 = 3.33 %</u>

A screw incorporates which other simple machine?
Radda [10]

Answer:

Inclined plane.

Explanation:

Geometrically, a screw is a narrow inclined plane that is wrapped around a cylinder. Like the other simple machines a screw can amplify force; a small rotational force (torque) on the shaft can exert a large axial force on a load.

A screw is a cylinder with a head (solid top) at one end and a pointed tip (like a nail) at the other end.

The mechanical advantage of the screw depends on the space between the threads and the length (and thickness) of the screw. The closer the threads are, the greater the mechanical advantage. It is easier to drive a screw into an object if the thread spacing is smaller.

Technician A says that the aspect ratio of a tire represents the relationship between the tire's cross-sectional height to its c
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Technician A

Explanation:

Often referred to as the profile or series, the aspect ratio of a tire is determined by dividing a tire’s section height by its section width when the tire is: inflated to maximum air pressure, mounted on the approved measuring rim, and under no load. This rules out Technician B.

A tire with a lower aspect ratio responds to lateral force more effectively than a tire with a higher aspect ratio. The aspect ratio affects steering stability. Generally, the shorter the sidewall, or the lower the aspect ratio, the less time it takes to transmit the steering input from the wheel to the tread. The result is quicker steering response. Aspect ratio also affects the tread contact patch. As a rule, a low-profile tire produces a wider tread contact patch. This wider tread contact patch creates a stiffer footprint that reduces distortion and provides improved cornering traction. Aspect ratio also impacts ride. A low-profile tire usually has a stiffer ride than the standard aspect ratio of 75 or more.

How to change V=72km/hr to m/s
lapo4ka [179]
Multiply by (1000 meters / 1 km).
Then multiply by (1 hour / 3600 seconds).

Both of those fractions are equal to ' 1 ', because the top
and bottom numbers are equal, so the multiplications
won't change the VALUE of the 72 km/hr.  They'll only
change the units.

(72 km/hour) · (1000 meters / 1 km) · (1 hour / 3600 seconds)

= (72 · 1000 / 3600) (km·meter·hour / hour·km·second)

=  20 meter/second
