Question

An electric drill transfers 200 J of energy into a useful kinetic energy store. It also transfers 44 J of energy by sound and 48 J of energy by heat. What is the efficiency of this drill? Round your answer to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

Answer:

Er = 108 [J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must understand that the total energy is 200 [J]. Of this energy 44 [J] are lost in sound and 48 [J] are lost in heat. In such a way that these energy values must be subtracted from the total of the kinetic energy.

200 - 44 - 48 = Er

Where:

Er = remaining energy [J]

Er = 108 [J]
