Why can’t a real machine ever have 100% efficiency

Physics
1 answer:
Harman [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Almost all machines require energy to offset the effects of gravity, friction, and air/wind resistance. Thus, no machine can continually operate at 100 percent efficiency.

A 0.300 kg ball, moving with a speed of 2.5 m/s, has a head-on collision with at 0.600 kg ball initially at rest. Assuming a per
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

1.25 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of first ball=0.3 kg

Its speed before collision=2.5 m/s

Its speed after collision=2 m/s

Mass of second ball=0.6 kg

Momentum of 1st ball=mass of the ball*velocity

=0.3kg*2.5m/s

=0.75 kg m/s

Momentum of 2nd ball=mass of the ball*velocity

=0.6 kg*velocity of 2nd ball

Since the first ball undergoes head on collision with the second ball,

momentum of first ball=momentum of second ball

0.75 kg m/s=0.6 kg*velocity of 2nd ball

Velocity of 2nd ball=0.75 kg m/s ÷ 0.6 kg

=1.25 m/s

Lord Beckett and members of the EIT Co. spot the Black Pearl in the distance making its way towards land. As a
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cannonball goes a horizontal  distance of 275 m . It travels a vertical distance of 100 m

Time taken to cover vertical distance =  t ,

Initial velocity u = 0

distance s = 100 m

acceleration a = 9.8 m /s²

s = ut + 1/2 g t²

100 = .5 x 9.8 x t²

t = 4.51 s

During this time it travels horizontally also uniformly so

horizontal velocity Vx = horizontal displacement / time

= 275 / 4.51 = 60.97 m /s

Vertical velocity Vy

Vy = u + gt

= 0 + 9.8 x 4.51

= 44.2 m /s

Resultant velocity

V = √ ( 44.2² + 60.97² )

= √ ( 1953.64 + 3717.34 )

= 75.3 m /s

Angle with horizontal Ф

TanФ = Vy / Vx

= 44.2 / 60.97

= .725

Ф = 36⁰ .
