An electric drill transfers 200 J of energy into a useful kinetic energy store. It also transfers 44 J of energy by sound and 48 J of energy by heat. What is the efficiency of this drill? Round your answer to the nearest whole number

Er = 108 [J]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must understand that the total energy is 200 [J]. Of this energy 44 [J] are lost in sound and 48 [J] are lost in heat. In such a way that these energy values must be subtracted from the total of the kinetic energy.

200 - 44 - 48 = Er

Where:

Er = remaining energy [J]

Er = 108 [J]

the velocity you are looking for is made up of two parts: horizontally velocity, vh, and its vertical velocity, vv. the actual velocity of the ball will be these two parts added together, and because velocity is a vector then they will need to be added vectorially.  

neglecting air resistance etc etc.,  

the horizontal velocity component will be constant (because there is no accelerating force in the horizontal direction.  

vh = 8 ms-1  

the vertical velocity component has an accelerating force: 'g'.  

using v = u +at where a = g = 9.81 ms-2.  

the vertical component of velocity, vv = 0 + gt = vv =9.81 x 2  

vv = 19.62 ms-1 . the zero appears because the virtical component of velocity at time t=0 is zero. remember, the ball was thrown horizontally.  

how fast it will be moving (it actual path (being a parabola )) will be the vector sum of these two.  

adding vectorally gives: -  

v = sqr root (8^2 + 19.62^2) = sqr root(64+384.9) = 21.18 or 21.2 ms-1

answer: electrons
