Question 14 • TN-Physical Science SC 26-27 (For Credit)

If a machine has 100% efficiency, it means that

Answer
A
output work is equal to input work.
B
output force is equal to input force.
C
output work is twice the input work.
D
output force is twice the input force.

Explanation

Efficiency is the ratio of useful output work to input work, expressed as a percentage. At 100% efficiency, all the input work becomes useful output work, so output work equals input work. The forces do not necessarily have to be equal.
