Efficiency of a machine is lesser than 100% , Why?

Physics
1 answer:
astra-53 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Efficiency is the percent of work put into a machine by the user (input work) that becomes work done by the machine (output work). The output work is always less than the input work because some of the input work is used to overcome friction. Therefore, efficiency is always less than 100 percent.

An 80.0-kg object is falling and experiences a drag force due to air resistance. The magnitude of this drag force depends on its
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The terminal speed of this object is 12.6 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the object, m = 80 kg

The magnitude of drag force is,

F_{drag}=12v+4v^2

The terminal speed of an object is attained when the gravitational force is balanced by the gravitational force.

F_{drag}=mg

12v+4v^2=80\times 9.8

4v^2+12v=784

On solving the above quadratic equation, we get two values of v as :

v = 12.58 m/s

v = -15.58 m/s (not possible)

So, the terminal speed of this object is 12.6 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

In Burglar alarm LDR acts as a/an<br> a. off switch<br> b. on switch<br> c. AND gate<br> d. OR gate
Gelneren [198K]

In Burglar alarm, LDR acts an AND gate.

Answer: C

Explanation

The LDR is light dependent resistor. The principle used in the working of LDR is that the resistance is inversely proportional to the intensity of light falling on the diode.

In burglar alarm, LDR diode is combined with an IC 555.

Normally an LED source is made to be incident on the LDR diode with same intensity such that the resistance will be maintained constant.

As the LDR is connected with IC, the voltage will be high when light is falling on the diode.

The IC will give only two output states that is high and low. This confirms that LDR in burglar alarm act as AND gate.

As the thief enters and crosses the LED light, the intensity of the light falling on the diode will decrease leading to decrease in the voltage which will cause the alarm to beep.
