A machine uses 1000 J of electric energy to raise a heavy mass, increasing its potential energy by 300 J. What is the efficiency of this process?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Efficiency of this process is 30 %.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric energy used by the machine, [tex]W_{in}=1000\ J[/tex]

The potential energy of the machine is increased, [tex]W_{out}=300\ J[/tex]  

The efficiency of this machine is given by :

[tex]\eta=\dfrac{W_{out}}{W_{in}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\eta=\dfrac{300}{1000}\times 100[/tex]    

[tex]eta=30\%[/tex]

So, the efficiency of this process is 30 %. Hence, this is the required solution.                

Answer

30 %

Explanation:

Here machine uses 1000 J means input of machine is 1000 J

And its increases the potential energy by 300 J so output of the machine is 300 J

The efficiency of any system is defined as the ratio of output and input

So efficiency will be [tex]\eta =\frac{output}{input}=\frac{300}{1000}=0.3[/tex] = 30% so the efficiency of the machine will be 30%
