A physicist does 100 joules of work on a simple machine that raise a box of bioks through a heigjt of 0.2metres. if the efficiency of the machine is 60%, how much work is converted to thermal energy?​

the work converted to thermal energy is 40 J.

Explanation:

Given;

work done by the physicist,w = 100 J

height through which the book is raised, h = 0.2 m

efficiency of machine = 60% = 0.6

The useful work done by the machine is calculated as;

useful work = 0.6 x 100 = 60 J

The wasted energy = 100 J - 60 J

The wasted energy = 40 J

The wasted energy by the machine is possibly converted to thermal energy by the frictional part of the machine.

Therefore, the work converted to thermal energy is 40 J.

dec 23, 2016 - a load of bricks weighing 680 n a distance of 10 m across a parking lot. if if the worker pushes the cart with a constant force of 209 n, what work= force x distance = 220 n x 10 m = 2200 n.m = 2200 j i don't know where the person got it from, but the initial part, work= force x distance me.
