Is there a "real" simple machine that has an efficiency of 100%?

Physics
1 answer:
VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

NO

Explanation:

No, a machine cannot be 100% efficient. This is due to the movement of the moving parts siding against each other and causing friction. This friction is the one that creates heat and causes wear and tear between moving ports f the machine hence making the machine to decrease in efficiency with time

Explain what happens to the particles in a substance during a physical change.
Bingel [31]
During Physical Change there would be a re-arrangements of atoms or molecules, changes of the arrangement may be change in the distance between atoms or molecules, change in the crystal form, .....etc 

for example: water when heated it undergoes a Physical Change and turn into vapor, this means the heat cause the distance between water molecules to increase, so it transferred from the liquid form to the gas form. 

NOTE that in Physical Change there is no change in the chemical structure and the material retains all its chemical properties, and no new compounds are produced. 

again, A physical change is any change not involving a change in the substance's chemical identity. Matter undergoes chemical change when the composition of the substances changes: one or more substances combine or break up (as in a relationship) to form new substances.Physical changes occur when objects undergo a change that does not change their chemical nature. A physical change involves a change in physical properties. Physical properties can be observed without changing the type of matter. Examples of physical properties include: texture, shape, size, color, odor, volume, mass, weight, and density. 

BUT in Chemical Change ( or Chemical Reaction ) there would be change in the chemical nature of the material undergoing a Chemical Change with the production of new compounds.

An object starts from rest, and accelerates at 2m/s2 for 10s. How far has it gone in that time
blagie [28]

Answer:

100m

Explanation:

s = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

u=0;t=10sec;a=2m/s²

s = 0(10) +  \frac{1}{2}(2 \times  {10}^{2} )

s=10²;100m

An ideal heat engine absorbs 97.2 kJ of heat and exhausts 83.8 kJ of heat in each cycle. What is the efficiency of the engine?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

13.7%

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat absorbed by the engine = 97.2 kJ

Heat exhausted by the engine in each cycle = 83.8 kJ

We need to find the efficiency of the engine. It is calculated by the formula.

\eta=1-\dfrac{Q_e}{Q_a}\\\\=1-\dfrac{83.8}{97.2}\\\\=0.137\\\\=13.7\%

so, the efficiency of heat engine is 13.7%.

When measuring espresso for a drink, which instrument would give the<br> greatest precision?
Gemiola [76]

How many mL is an espresso?

One shot of espresso is generally about 30–50 ml (1–1.75 oz), and contains about 63 mg of caffeine (3). Important point: The “golden ratio” for espresso is this: a single shot is 30 to 44 mL (1 to 1.5 ounces) of water and 7 grams of coffee
