An electrical motor is used to raise an object. The object transfers 150J of useful energy when the motor is supplied with 250J of electrical energy. A) what is total energy supplied to the motor?
B)what is the useful energy transfer?
C) what is the efficiency?

A) 250 J

B) 150 J

C) The efficiency = 0.6 and the percentage efficiency = 60%

Explanation:

The question relates to definition of terms in energy transfer and the calculation of efficiency

The parameters of the given are;

The energy the object transfers = 150 J

The amount of electrical energy supplied to the motor = 250 J

Therefore, we have;

A) The total energy supplied to the motor = The amount of electrical energy supplied to the motor = 250 J

B) The useful energy transferred = The energy used to do work = 150 J

C) The efficiency = (Useful energy transferred (out))/(Total energy supplied (in)

The percentage efficiency is given as follows;

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the   box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this.   hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.

hi there!

out of the two, (b) precision would be more reasonable.   however, both a and b could be pretty reasonable.
