Question

A construction worker puts 20J of energy in to one strike of his hammer on the head of a nail. The energy transferred to driving d nail in to d wood is 8J. What is d efficiency of d construction worker's hammering?​

Answer 1

Answer:

efficiancy=40 percent

Explanation:

efficiency=energy output/energy input×100

efficiancy=8J/20J×100

efficiancy=0.4×100

efficiancy=40 percent

Mark brianliest if my answer suit your question..

Answer 2

Answer:

The efficiency can be found using the formula ;

efficiency=energy output divided by energy input ×100%.

efficiency=8.0j÷ 20j × 100%

efficiency=0.4 ×100%

efficiency=40%.

the efficiency of the hammer strike was 40%. vibration and heating of the nail are two possible reasons for the energy loss.
