Answer:

80%

Explanation:

Efficiency = Power output / Power input × 100 %

To calculate efficiency we need to find power output of electric pump.

We can use,

Work done = Energy change

Work done per second = Energy change per second

Work done per second = Power

Therefore, Power = Energy change per second

                              = Change in potential energy of water per second

                              =mgh / t

                              = 200× 10×6 / 10

                              = 1200 W = 1.2 kW

Now use the first equation to find efficiency,

Efficiency = \frac{1.2}{1.5} × 100%

                = 80 %

An inclined plane is made out of a short plank of wood. It is used to move a 300N box up onto a tabletop 1m above the floor. Wha
Ronch [10]

Answer:

<em>The purpose of an inclinded plane is to make easier to move objects to a certain height.</em>

The technology behind this is about the Work you need to use to move the object upwards. Basically, when we use an inclined plane, we are splitting the net force, making easier to move. All this means, the force needed to move the objecto up will be lower, due to the inclined plane.

So, if the force needed is lower, then the work is also lower, because the work done is defined as the product between the force applied and the distance traveled.

<em>In addition, if we have a longer inclined plane, that means the force needed is even lower,</em> beacuse the distance is increased, but the Work is the same, because it only depends on the initial and final point.

Therefore, in this case, the work would remain the same and the mechanical advantage would increase. As we said before, the work needed will be the same despite the force decreases, because the distance increases, remaining the work as a constant. And the mechanical advantage increases, because it's easier to move if the inclined plane is longer.

You are seated in a bus and notice that a hand strap that is hanging from the ceiling hangs away from the vertical in the backwa
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:C

Explanation:

It is given that hand strap moves from the vertical in the backward direction.

The direction of strap depends upon the acceleration of bus i.e. if bus is accelerating in forward direction then strap will move in backward direction and vice-versa.

The reason for moving backwards is due to the psuedo acting on strap which bends the strap in backward direction

angle of inclination is given by \tan \theta =\frac{a}{g}

where a=acceleration of bus

\theta=inclination of strap from vertical

so we cannot conclude anything about the direction of the velocity of the bus

grigory [225]
<span>The answer is transformer. They utilize electromagnetic induction to generate current. This is only possible in alternating current due to the differential increase and decrease of electrical current that induces changes in magnetic flux in the coil. This varies the magnetic flux of the primary coil that generates current in the secondary coil.</span>
