Homework Statement
I am in grade 11 physics and we are learning efficiency, Eout/Ein.. stuff like that.
I just have a few questions about cars:
How is efficiency defined in cars and why is it so low in cars?
What/How are we improving efficiency?
The Attempt at a Solution
I think that it...
Okay so can i say Friction will cause more applied force as a result it causes less efficiency.
Is there anything else? Because it asks for 2 Major Factors.
Im in grade 11 btw so its introductory mechanics lol
We have a lab in which there is a ramp with one end on the floor and the other end is on top of a few textbooks. Therefore, it has a slope, and an object is lifted using the ramp and the force is measured using a Newton scale.
So in this...
No like i mean, in a situation where there is an inclined plane (RAMP). And you are pushing an object up there.
In that situation what makes it less than 100%

What can we do to this set-up to increase the efficiency, OTHER THAN INCREASING THE HEIGHT...
Homework Statement
List a couple factors that make efficiency less than 100%.
Homework Equations
Efficiency = Eout / Ein
Eout = mgh
Ein = Work = FD

Homework Statement
We have to find the efficiency of a ramp for a lab. We are given an inclined plane, a wooden block and a few masses. We are also given a Newton spring scale.
Homework Equations
efficiency = (Eout/Ein)*100%
Eg = mgh
Work = FD
The Attempt at a Solution
Is the...
When you sit in the passenger seat, why do you feel pushed up when you make a left turn? Explain using Newton's laws of motion.My Guess:
Newtons third law states there is a reaction for every action. So when you turn left the opposite reaction would be you turning right?
IDK LOL :|
Homework Statement
A pop can is sliding across a table and then eventually comes to a stop. If it's initial velocity is 2m/s and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the two surfaces is 0.20, how far will it travel across the table.
Vi=2m/s
Vf=0m/s
CoeffKineticFriction = 0.2
