Answer 1

Answer : Option (A) Accelerator 2 model has the lowest percentage of energy lost as waste.

Solution : Given,

For Accelerator 1 model,

Input energy = 2078.3 J

Wasted energy = 663.1 J

Output energy = 1415.2 J

For Accelerator 2 model,

Input energy = 7690.0 J

Wasted energy = 2337.5 J

Output energy = 5353.5 J

For Accelerator 3 model,

Input energy = 4061.9 J

Wasted energy = 2259.6 J

Output energy = 1802.3 J

Formula used for lowest percentage of energy lost as waste is:

% energy lost as waste = (Total energy wasted / Total input energy )  ×  100

For Accelerator 1 model,

% energy lost as waste = $\frac{663.1}{2078.3}\times100$ = 31.90%

For Accelerator 2 model,

% energy lost as waste = $\frac{2337.5}{7690.0}\times100$ = 30.39%

For Accelerator 3 model,

% energy lost as waste = $\frac{2259.6}{4061.9}\times100$ = 55.62%

So, we conclude that the Accelerator 2 model has the lowest percentage of energy lost as waste.
