Efficiency is defined as the measure of the amount of work or energy is conserved in a certain process. At all times, in every process, work or energy is always lost or wasted due to certain interference. Not all work given is converted to useful work or energy. Thus , efficiency is calculated by dividing the energy or work output to the energy or work input then the value is multiplied by 100 to express efficiency as percentage.

Efficiency = work output / work input
Efficiency = (1020 J / 1200 J) = 85%

An empty bottle has a mass of 35.00 grams. When filled with water, it has a mass of 98.44 grams. Of the same bottle is filled wi
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Specific gravity of other fluid = .854 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of water = 35 g

Mass of filled bottle with water = 98.44 g

Mass of filled bottle with fluid = 89.22 g

Computation:

Mass of water = 98.44g - 35g = 63.44g

Density of water = 1000 g/L

Volume of bottle = 63.44/1000 = 0.06344L

Mass of other liquid = 89.22g - 35g = 54.22g

Density of other liquid = 54.22g/0.06344L = 854.665826 g/L

Water has a specific gravity = 1

So ,  specific gravity of other fluid

1000 / 854.665826 = 1 / specific gravity of other fluid

Specific gravity of other fluid = .854 (Approx)

A truck is traveling down a road with a 4-percent grade at a speed of 75 mi/h when its brakes are applied to slow it down to 22.
kvasek [131]

Answer:

3.964 s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversion:

1 miles = 1.6 km = 1600 m.

1 hour = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds

75 mph = 75 * 1600 / 3600 = 33.3 m/s

22.5 mph = 22.5 * 1600/3600 = 10 m/s

Let g = 9.81 m/s2

Friction is the product of coefficient and normal force, which equals to the gravity

F_f = \mu N = \mu mg

The deceleration caused by friction is friction divided by mass according to Newton 2nd law.

a = F_f / m = \mu mg / m = \mu g = 0.6 *9.81 = 5.886 m/s^2

So the time required to decelerate from 33.3 m/s to 10 m/s so the wheels don't slide, with the rate of 5.886 m/s2 is

t = \frac{\Delta v}{a} = \frac{33.3 - 10}{5.886} = 3.964 s

Two coherent sources of radio waves, A and B, are 5.00 meters apart. Each source emits waves with wavelength 6.00 meters. Consid
Korolek [52]

Answer:

a

    z= 2.5 \ m

b

   z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     Their distance apart is  d =  5.00 \ m

      The  wavelength of each source wave \lambda =  6.0 \ m

Let the distance from source A  where the construct interference occurred be z

Generally the path difference for constructive interference is

              z - (d-z) =  m \lambda

Now given that we are considering just the straight line (i.e  points along the line connecting the two sources ) then the order of the maxima m =  0

  so

        z - (5-z) =  0

=>     2 z - 5 =  0

=>     z= 2.5 \ m

Generally the path difference for destructive  interference is

           |z-(d-z)| = (2m + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>         |2z - d |= (0 + 1)\frac{\lambda}{2}

=>        |2z - d| =\frac{\lambda}{2}

substituting values

          |2z - 5| =\frac{6}{2}

=>      z  =  \frac{5 \pm 3}{2}

So  

      z =  \frac{5 + 3}{2}

      z =  4\ m

and

      z =  \frac{ 5 -3 }{2}

=>   z =  1 \ m

=>    z =  (1 \ m ,  4 \ m )

A power plant burns 1000 kg of coal each hour and produces 500 kW of power. Calculate the overall thermal efficiency if each kg
solniwko [45]

Answer:

The overall thermal efficiency is 30%.

Explanation:

Given;

Output power = 500 kWh

input energy  per kg of coal = 6 MJ = 6 x 10⁶ J = 1.66667 kWh

1000 kg of coal will produce 1000 x 1.66667 kWh = 1666.67 kWh

Thus, total input power = 1666.67 kWh

Overall thermal efficiency = Total output power/Total input Power

Overall thermal efficiency = (500/1666.67) *100

Overall thermal efficiency = 0.29999 *100

Overall thermal efficiency = 30%

Therefore, the overall thermal efficiency is 30%.
