Write the formula for calculating the efficiency of a machine.
Answer the following in short.
What do you understand by the term efficiency of a machine’?
- Take two aluminium channels of different lengths.
- Place the lower ends of the channels on the floor and hold their upper ends at the same height.
- Now take two balls of the same size and weight and release them from the top end of the channels. They will roll down and cover the same distance.
- At the moment of releasing the balls, which energy do the balls have?
- As the balls roll down which energy is converted into which other form of energy?
- Why do the balls cover the same distance on rolling down?
Note: The question is wrong. It should be "Why do the balls cover the same distance after rolling down"? - What is the form of the eventual total energy of the balls?
