Answer:

because some waste heat is always produced produced in a heat engine.

Explanation:

the fraction of heat input that is converted to a net work output is a measure of the performance of the heat engine and is called the thermal efficiency.Since the machine does not contain a source of energy ,nor can it store energy ,from this conversation of energy the power output of machine can never be greater than its input,so efficiency can be less than 100%.

Explanation:

The efficiency of heat engine is always less than 100% most of the times because of waste energy in form of heat.

  • Different forms of heating occurs during the working of an engine
  • As the mechanical workings of the engine sets in motion, heat is generated.
  • One of the most common type of the heat is the frictional heating.
  • Therefore, as energy is transformed from one form to another, some are lost as heat.
  • In this regard, the efficiency of the engine suffers.

How far will a rubber ball fall in 10 seconds?
Inessa [10]

If it's not moving at all at the beginning of the 10 seconds, then it falls 490 meters straight down in 10 seconds.

(Note: This is true of all objects on Earth . . . rubber balls, feathers, grains of sand, school buses, battle ships . . . everything.  As long as air doesn't hold them back.  Anything falling from rest falls 490 meters in the first 10 seconds.)

Brut [27]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as the change in momentum.

Impulse is also defined as the product of force and the time duration of application of the force.

In the given problem, since there is no motion in the vertical direction, therefore the velocity of the box along the vertical direction is zero. So, momentum of the box along the vertical is also zero.

Hence the change is momentum is also zero along vertical direction.

Thus the impulse delivered by the box is zero.
