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.

Based on the calculations, the average velocity is equal to 360 m/s and the percent difference is equal to 4.72%.

<h3>What is average velocity?</h3>

An average velocity can be defined as the total distance covered by a physical object divided by the total time taken.

<h3>What is an average?</h3>

An average is also referred to as mean and it can be defined as a ratio of the sum of the total number in a data set to the frequency of the data set.

<h3>How to calculate the average velocity?</h3>

Mathematically, the average velocity for this data set would be calculated by using this formula:

Average = [F(v)]/n

Vavg = [v₁ + v₂ + v₃ + v₄ + v₅)/5

Since the values of the average velocity from the table are missing, we would assume the following values for the purpose of an explanation:

  • v₁ = 100 m/s
  • v₂ = 150 m/s
  • v₃ = 200 m/s
  • v₄ = 250 m/s
  • v₅ = 300 m/s

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have:

Vavg = [300 + 450 + 500 + 250 + 300)/5

Vavg = 1800/5

Vavg = 360 m/s.

Next, we would calculate the percent difference by using this formula:

Percent \;difference = \frac{[V_{avg}\;-\;V_{sound}]}{V_{sound}} \times 100

Percent difference = [360 - 343]/360 × 100

Percent difference = 17/360 × 100

Percent difference = 0.0472 × 100

Percent difference = 4.72%.

Which of these IS an example of balanced forces? A. a book on a shelf B. air rushing out of a balloon C. rolling over and fallin
babunello [35]

Forces are balanced when net force on the object is zero or the sum of all force on the object is zero.

For book kept on a shelf, the weight of the book in down direction is balanced by the normal force on the book by the shelf. hence the book kept on a shelf is an example of balanced force.

In case of air rushing out of balloon , the balloon experience a net force by the air coming out of it.

rolling over and falling off the bed , the object falls under gravity force.

a car speeding up accelerates. since it accelerates , it has net force on it.

1) 9.26 cm

Explanation:

The focal length of a plane mirror is virtually infinite. Considering the lens equation,

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where f is the focal length, p is the object distance, q the image distance. If we replace f with infinity, we get

q=-p

The magnification equation states that

y' = -\frac{q}{p}y

where y is the size of the object and y' the size of the image. Substituting q=-p, we get

y'=y

this means that the image produced by a plane mirror is always:

- Upright (y' is positive)

- The same size as the object

In this case, we have a book of height 9.26 cm (y=9.26 cm). This means that the magnitude of the size of the image (y') will be 9.26 cm as well.

2) 22.7 cm

As we said before, due to the infinite focal length of a plane mirror,

q=-p

this means that the image produced by a plane mirror is always:

- Virtual (because q is negative)

- At the same distance from the mirror as the object

In this case, we have a book placed at 22.7 cm from the mirror (p=22.7 cm). This means that the magnitude of the distance of the image from the mirror (q) will be 22.7 cm as well.

3) 1.60 m/s

We said previously that the image produced by a plane mirror is always at the same distance from the mirror as the real object. This implies that whenever we move the object toward/away from the mirror, the distance p will alway remain equal to the distance q. But this also means that the object and the distance are moving toward/away from the mirror at the same speed.

Therefore, since in this case the person is moving away from the mirror at 1.60 m/s, the image will also move away at a speed of 1.60 m/s.
