A kettle is found to output 65J when its input energy is 100J. What is the efficiency of the kettle, and what happens to the rest of the energy?

Efficiency=useful energy /input energy x 100, so for the kettle, efficiency = 65/100 x 100 = 65% efficient. The rest of the energy is wasted as heat energy in the kettle/sound energy.

How to i calculate total resistance in a circuit?


Draw a distance-time, speed-time, and acceleration-time graph for an object moving at a constant velocity of 5m/s for 10 seconds.


Trolley A weighs 5kg and is moving at 15m/s to the right. It collides with a stationary Trolley B, weighing 10kg more than Trolley A. After the collision they move off together. Calulate the velocity that they move off with.


If 10 N is required to move an object 2m, what is the work done?
