A force of 900 N pushes a wedge 0.10 m into a log. If the work done on the log is 50 J, what is the efficiency of the wedge?

Answer:

55.56%

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the work done in pushing the wedge. This can be obtained as follow:

Force (F) = 900 N

Distance (s) = 0.1 m

Workdone (Wd) =..?

Wd = F × s

Wd = 900 × 0.1

Wd = 90 J

Finally, we shall determine the efficiency. This can be obtained as follow:

Work output = 50 J

Work input = 90 J

Efficiency =?

Efficiency = work output / work input

Efficiency = 50 / 90 × 100

Efficiency = 55.56%

Thus, the efficiency is 55.56%

KatRina [158]

Answer:

Temperature : 92.9 F

Internal Energy change: -2.53 Btu/lbm

Explanation:

As

mh1=mh2

h1=h2

In table A-11 through 13E

p2=120Psi, h1= 41.79 Btu/lbm,

u1=41.49

So T1=90.49 F

P2=20Psi

h2=h1= 41.79 Btu/lbm

T2= -2.43F

u2= 38.96 Btu/lbm

T2-T1 = 92.9 F

u2-u1 = -2.53 Btu/lbm

A 60 g ball of clay is thrown horizontally at 40 m/s toward a 1.5 kg block sitting at rest on a frictionless surface. the clay h
Bingel [31]
The solution for this problem is:
Let u denote speed. 

Equating momentum before and after collision: 
= 0.060 * 40 = (1.5 + 0.060) u 
= 2.4 = 1.56 u
= 2.4 / 1.56 = 1.56 u / 1.56
= 1.6 m / s is the answer for this question. This is the speed after the collision.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: The theory might have become Obsolete or Superseded

Explanation:

A theory becomes obsolete or superseded if it becomes inadequate, false or incomplete in how its describes reality. It does not matter if it was once accepted. There are some theories such as Lysenkoism that are currently described as being obsolete because it does not conform to current reality. Another example of a theory that was superseded is the phlogiston theory. It was replaced a different theory of energy.

Alona [7]
<span>The correct answer should be B) 63.55. That's because the most precise number is 63.546, but you would write 55 because 46 is rounded that way in the equation. The others are a bit higher, while E is a completely different element, Iodine. This isn't the most precise piece of data because in reality there would be a slight differentiation of +- 0,003u</span>
