Explain the input and output energy sources for a car engine. How would you calculate the efficiency? Explain in terms of the inputs and outputs how the efficiency could be improved.

The input is chemical energy (in the form of fuel). The outputs areSound (not useful)Kinetic (useful)Heat (may be useful)The efficieny is given by useful output energy divided by total input (or output) ener...

By plotting appropriate graphs, find x to the nearest integer if x^2+3=2-4x.

Plot the graphs y=x^2+3 and y=2-4x. The solution(s) are the point(s) of intersection. The graphs can be plotted by making a table of values; this is the best method for the quadratic curve. The straight line...

let line L have the equation 4y -3x =10, and line M passes through the points (5,-1) and (-1,8), find out if they are perpendicular, parallel, or neither

L:4y=3x+10 -> y=3/4 x + 10/3. M: y= mx+ c such that it passes through the points in question, then m=(-1-8)/(5-(-1))=-3/2. As the gradient of L is not a negative reciprocal of the gradient of M, nor is it...
