Why is the efficiency of a machine always less than 100%?

Physics
1 answer:
never [62]3 years ago

Answer:The percentage of the work input that becomes work output is the efficiency of a machine. Because there is always some friction, the efficiency of any machine is always less than 100 percent.

In this case the coordinate z is multiplied by your wave vector k, so it travels along z.  Note that the electric field will be oscillating along the x direction.  H and E are perpendicular to the direction of travel in vacuum.

98. In Fig. 24-71, a metal sphere
yarga [219]

Answer:

(a) The potential difference between the spheres is 750 kVA

(b) The charge on the smaller sphere is 6.\overline 6 μC

(c) The charge on the smaller sphere, Q₁ = 13.\overline 3 μC

Explanation:

(a) The given parameters are;

The charge on the inner sphere, q = 5.00 μC

The radius of the inner sphere, r = 3.00 cm = 0.03 m

The charge on the larger sphere, Q = 15.0 μμC

The radius of the larger sphere, R = 6.00 cm = 0.06 m

The potential difference between two concentric spheres is given according to the following equation;

V_r - V_R = k \times q \times \left ( \dfrac{1}{r} - \dfrac{1}{R} \right)

Where;

R = The radius of the larger sphere = 0.06 m

r = The radius of the inner sphere = 0.03 m

q = The charge of the inner sphere = 5.00 × 10⁻⁶ C

Q = The charge of the outer sphere = 15.00 × 10⁻⁶ C

k = 9 × 10⁹ N·m²/C²

Therefore, by plugging in the value of the variables, we have;

V_r - V_R = 9 \times 10^9  \times 5.00 \times 10^{-6} \times \left ( \dfrac{1}{0.03} - \dfrac{1}{0.06} \right) = 750,000

The potential difference between the spheres, V_r - V_R = 750,000 N·m/C = 750 kVA

(b) When the spheres are connected with a wire, the charge, 'q', on the smaller sphere will be added to the charge, 'Q', on the larger sphere which as follows;

Q_f = Q + q = (5 + 15) × 10⁻⁶ C = 20 × 10⁻⁶ C

Q_f = 20 × 10⁻⁶ C

From which we have;

Q₁/Q₂ = R/r

Where;

Q₁ = The new charge on the on the larger sphere

Q₂ = The new charge on the on the smaller sphere

Q_f = 20 × 10⁻⁶ C = Q₁ + Q₂

∴ Q₁ = 20 × 10⁻⁶ C - Q₂ = 20 μC - Q₂

∴ (20 μC - Q₂)/Q₂ = 0.06/(0.03) = 2

20 μC - Q₂ = 2·Q₂

20 μC = 3·Q₂

Q₂ = 20 μC/3

The charge on the smaller sphere, Q₂ = 20 μC/3 = 6.\overline 6 μC

(c) Q₁ = 20 μC - Q₂ = 20 μC - 20 μC/3 = 40 μC/3

The charge on the smaller sphere, Q₁ = 40 μC/3 = 13.\overline 3 μC.

Water evaporating from a pond does so as if it were diffusing across an air film 0.15 cm thick. The diffusion coefficient of wat
QveST [7]

Answer:

The water level will drop by about 1.24 cm in 1 day.

Explanation:

Here Mass flux of water vapour is given as

                               j_{H_2O}=\frac{D}{l} \bigtriangleup c

where

  • j_{H_2O} is the mass flux of the water which is to be calculated.
  • D is diffusion coefficient which is given as 0.25 cm^2/s
  • l is the thickness of the film which is 0.15 cm thick.
  • \bigtriangleup c is given as

                                \bigtriangleup c= \frac{P_{sat}-P_a}{RT}

In this

  • P_{sat} is the saturated water pressure, which is look up from the saturated water property at 20°C and 0.5 saturation given as 2.34 Pa
  • P_a is the air pressure which is given as 0.5 times of P_{sat}
  • R is the universal gas constant as 8.314 kJ/kmol-K
  • T is the temperature in Kelvin scale which is 20+273= 293K

By substituting values in the equation

                                    \bigtriangleup c= \frac{P_{sat}-P_a}{RT} \\ \bigtriangleup c= \frac{P_{sat}-0.5P_{sat}}{RT} \\ \bigtriangleup c= \frac{0.5P_{sat}}{RT} \\ \bigtriangleup c= \frac{0.5 \times 2.34}{8.314 \times 293} \\\bigtriangleup c= 0.48 mol/m^3

Converting \bigtriangleup c into cm^3/cm^3

As 1 mole of water 18 cm^3 so

                               \bigtriangleup c= 0.48 mol/m^3 \\ \bigtriangleup c= 0.48 \times 18 \times 10^{-6}  cm^3/cm^3 \\ \bigtriangleup c= 8.64 \times 10^{-6}  cm^3/cm^3

Putting this in the equation of mass flux equation gives

                            j_{H_2O}=\frac{D}{l} \bigtriangleup c \\ j_{H_2O}=\frac{0.25}{0.15} \times 8.64 \times 10^{-6} \\ j_{H_2O}=14.4 \times 10^{-6}  cm/s

For calculation of water level drop in a day, converting mass flux as

                     j_{H_2O}=14.4 \times 10^{-6}  \times 24 \times 3600  cm/day\\ j_{H_2O}=1.24  cm/day

So the water level will drop by about 1.24 cm in 1 day.

How much work is done when a force of 15.0 newtons is used to lift a box 3.0 meters into the air?
denis-greek [22]

Added potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height)

or

Added potential energy = (weight) x (added height)

If you need to lift a 15N box 3m straight up, you have to increase its potential energy by (15 N) x (3 m) = 45 Joules .

Where is that added potential energy supposed to come from ?  You could use an electric winch, a steam engine, a gasoline-powered motor, thousands of hamsters running on little treadmills that are are connected to the main pulley somehow, or your own arm muscles.  But howEVER you do it, you have to provide <em>45 Joules</em> of WORK in order to increase the potential energy of the box by just that much.
