what is the best defintion of efficency

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Efficiency signifies a peak level of performance that uses the least amount of inputs to achieve the highest amount of output.

Explanation: It minimizes the waste of resources such as physical materials, energy, and time while accomplishing the desired output.

Answer 2

Answer:

The efficiency of a simple machine is defined as the ratio of useful work done by the machine ( output work) to the total work out into the machine ( input work).

Explanation:

Efficiency

If a machine overcomes a load ' L ' and the distance travelled by the load is 'Ld' , the work done by the load is L× LD. It is also called output work or useful work.

Therefore, [tex] \boxed{Output \: work \: = L \: \times \: Ld}[/tex]

Likewise, The effort applied to overcome the load is 'E' and the distance covered by effort is 'Ed' , the work done by effort is E × Ed. It is also called input work.

Therefore, [tex] \boxed{Input \: work = E \times Ed}[/tex]

The efficiency of a simple machine is defined as the ratio of output work to the input work .

Therefore, [tex] \boxed{Efficiency ( η)= \frac{outpt \: work}{input \: work} \times 100\%}[/tex]

Efficiency is expressed in percentage. It is a ratio of two works. A machine is never 100% efficient. It is because no machine is friction free and due to friction, some of the input energy is wastes in the form of heat energy.

What two factors determine how much potential energy an object has?

Answers

Answer:

The mass of the object and its height in the gravitational field of the Earth.

Explanation:

If we are talking about gravitational potential energy which is defined as:

[tex]U=m\,*\,g\,*\,h[/tex]

being "m" the object's mass, "g" the acceleration due to gravity, and "h" the height at which the object is located relative to the conventionally picked level for zero of potential energy.

As long as the value of "g" is constant, the only two variables that determine the gravitational potential energy are the mass (m) of the object and its relative height (h).

State and explain what happens when a. a glass rod rubbed with silk is brought near the disc of electroscope. b. an ebonite rod rubbed with fur is brought near the disc of electroscope. c. an uncharged metal rod is brought near the disc of electroscope d. a glass rod rubbed with silk is rolled on the disc of electroscope.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

On rubbing a glass rod with silk, the electrons from the glass rod get transferred to the silk. The silk now has an excess of electrons and so is negatively-charged. On the other hand, the glass rod is deficient in electrons and hence is positively-charged.

In the above case, the silk undergoes negative electrification.

Now, when the positively charged glass rod is touched on the disc of a negatively charged gold leaf electroscope, the electrons shifts towards rod, hence amount of charge on gold leaves decreases and the divergence between the gold leaves decreases as unlike charges attract each other.

Hence, the divergence decreases when a glass rod rubbed with silk is brought near the disc of negatively charged electroscope.

the locals, Ignore evaporation, rain, creeks and rivers.

Answers

Answer:

  #_total = 4.38 10⁹ liter

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use a direct proportion rule (rule of three). If 4 people use 1200 liters how much water 1 person consumes

            #_water = 1 person (1200 liter / 4 person)

            #water = 300 liters

Now we look for the consumption of this person in a year, if 1 person consumes 300 liters 1 day, how many liters they consume in a year (365 days)

           #_water_person_total = 365 days (300 liters / 1 day)

           #_water_person_total = 109500 liters

This is the water consumption of 1 person in a year, the total of 40000 people how much they consume

           #_total = 40000 person (109500 liter / 1 person)

           #_total = 4.38 10⁹ liter

The ways to measure the mass and volume of irregular object​

Answers

Answer:

When we have irregular objects, it may become very hard to calculate the volume of the object, as we actually can not use any simple equation to find it.

The mass is less tricky, just find a scale and wheight it, now we know the mass of the irregular object.

One way to measure the volume of the object is using water... how we do it?

Get some recipient with water, measure the height of the water.

Introduce your object into the water and totally submerge it, now the level of the water will rise. This is because as you introduce the object under the water, you are displacing up a given volume of water that has the same volume as the irregular object.

Now that you know the height of the water before and after you put your object, you can easily calculate the volume of water displaced, and that will be the volume of the object (the tricky part may be totally submerging the object if, for example, is wood and it floats, here you can use a thin wire to push it down but it will affect a little bit the measures.)

Jaiden is writing a report about the structure of the atom in her report,she says that the atom has three main parts and two subatomic particles. Do you agree with her?why or why not

Answers

Answer:

I do not agree with the answer.

Because in reality, the atom has 2 main parts and 3 subatomic particles.

Explanation:

The parts of an atom are:

- The crust: It is the outer part of the atom and is the place where the electrons are.

- The nucleus: It is the central part of the atom and is the place that contains the protons and neutrons.

The subatomic particles of the atom are:

- Electrons: They are negatively charged particles that go in the atom's crust and are divided into specific sections.

- Protons: They are particles with a positive electric charge, the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is what determines the atomic number of an element.

- Neutrons: They are atoms with no electric charge.

Answers

Answer:

a)  T = 1.26 s , b)  v_max = 0.14 m / s ,  a_max = 0.7 m / s²

c) x = 0.028 cos (5 t) ,    v = - 0.14 sin 5t,   a = - 0.7 cos 5t

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion exercise that is described by the equation

    x = A cos (wt +Ф)

with

          w = √ (k / m)

let's apply this expression to our case

a) Angular velocity is related to frequency

          w = 2π f

frequency and period are related

          f = 1 / T

we substitute

         2π / T = √ (k / m)

         T = 2π √(m / k)

let's calculate

         T = 2π √(1/25)

          T = 1.26 s

In the expression for the period, the amplitude does not appear, therefore there is no dependence, as long as Hooke's law is fulfilled, which is correct for small amplitudes.

b) in the initial equation we have the position as a function of time, let's use the definition of speed and acceleration

           v = dx / dt

           v = - A w sin (wt + Ф)

the speed is maximum when the sine is -1

            v_max = A w

            w = √ (k / m)

            w = √ 25/1

            w = 5 rad / s

the amplitude of the movement is equal to the maximum compression of the spring

            A = 2.8 cm = 0.028 m

             

we substitute

            v_max = 0.028 5

            v_max = 0.14 m / s

acceleration

             a = dv / dt

             a = - A w² cos (wt + Ф)

the acceleration is maximum when the cosine is -1

             a_max = A w²

let's calculate

             a_max = 0.028 5²

             a_max = 0.7 m / s²

c) let's start by finding the phase constant

              v = -A w cos (wt + Ф)

at t = 0 they indicate that the system has v = 0

              0 = -A w sin (0 + Ф)

              Ф = sin⁻¹ 0

              Ф = 0

we write the equation

            x = 0.028 cos (5 t)

           v = - A w sin (wt + Ф)

           v = - 0.028 5 sin (5t + 0)

           v = - 0.14 sin 5t

acceleration

           a = - A w² cos (wt + Ф)

           a = - 0.028 5 2 cos (5 t + 0)

           a = - 0.7 cos 5t

Ignoring the air resistance it will take about 3 seconds for the object to reach the ground.We know that the acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s2.

We also know that the final velocity is 30 m/s while the initial velocity is 0 m/s

we can use the formulae for acceleration to calculate the time taken/

If you have a 200g sample of a radioactive isotope that has a half life of 50 years, hc
much will you have left at the end of 200 years?
a. 12.5 g
b. 100 g
c. 50 g
d. 25 g

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is;

a. 12.5 g

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial mass of the radioactive substance = 200 g

The half life of the radioactive substance = 50 years

The time duration for the disintegration = 200 years

The formula for half life is given as follows;

[tex]N(t) = N_0 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{t}{t_{1/2}}[/tex]

Where:

N(t) = Quantity of the remaining substance

N₀ = Initial radioactive substance quantity  = 200 g

t = Time duration  = 200 years

 

[tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] = Half life of the radioactive substance  50 years

Therefore, we have;

[tex]N(t) =200 \times \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{200}{50} } =200 \times \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^4 = 12.5 \ g[/tex]

Therefore, at the end of 200 years, the quantity left = 12.5 g.

The period of a pendulum is the time it takes the pendulum to swing back and forth once. If the only dimensional quantities that the period depends on are the acceleration of gravity, g, and the length of the pendulum, ℓ, what combination of g and ℓ must the period be proportional to? (Acceleration has SI units of m • s-2.)

Answers

Answer: √(L/g)

Explanation:

Here we only work with the units:

The unit of the period is units of time, so we have:

[T] = [s]

Now, the units of the length of the pendulum are units of distance:

[L] = [m]

And the units of the acceleration are:

[g] = [m/s^2]

Now, we want to work with those two in such way that the end result is only in seconds.

First, we can see that in g we have seconds square, so we know that we should use a square root.

Then we can divide L by g in order to remove the distance unit, and to have the time unit in the numerator

[L/g] = [m*s^2/m] = [s^2]

Now we apply the square root:

[√(L/g)] = [√s^2] = [s]

Then the combination is: √(L/g)

T = k*√(L/g)

where k is the constant of proportionality.

The particles of a GAS within a closed container will collide with the container walls, exerting a FORCE. The force per unit of AREA is known as what?

Answers

Answer:

Pressure

Explanation:

One of the theories propounded by the Kinetic molecular theory, and which also provides an explanation of the several gas laws, is the statement that the gas molecules in a container, travel in straight lines and are in constant collision with themselves and the walls of the container, thus exerting force. This force is the pressure which is defined as the force per unit area.

There is no loss of energy in the collisions involving the gas molecules and that is why their movement can be described as elastic. The descriptions of the behavior of gas molecules in the Kinetic Molecular Theory, give rise to Charles law, Boyle's Law, Avogadro's Laws, Dalton's Law, and Amonton's Law.

Answer:

The pressure

Explanation:

Molecules of gases are constantly in motion, colliding with the walls of their container. This constant collision impacts force on the walls of the container, which depends on the speed with which the molecules are moving. The speed with which these molecules travel depends on the average kinetic energy of the molecules, which is proportional to the temperature.

This force when exerted per unit area is the pressure the gases exert on the walls of the container.

c) A falling object stops accelerating when it reaches terminal velocity.

d) F = ma, so when the acceleration is 0, the resultant force is also 0.
