At perfect 100% efficiency, the Actual Mechanical Advantage should equal the Ideal Mechanical Advantage.

Can a machine ever be 100 percent efficient?
No. That would be the same as having a perpetual motion machine which is impossible.
What would a machine that had 100 percent mechanical efficiency be called?
an ideal machine
If the efficiency of a machine increases what would occur?
Then the machine would have a greater output power, or alternately, require less input power.
What is the efficiency of a machine that miraculously converts all the input energy to useful output energy?
Such a machine would have an efficiency of 100% and, as the question suggests, it would be a miracle. No real machine is 100% efficient because there are always losses.
Why would machines work better without friction?
The smaller amount of friction a machine has, the more efficient it becomes.
Can a machine ever be 100 percent efficient?
No. That would be the same as having a perpetual motion machine which is impossible.
What is a machine that puts out exactly as much energy as it takes in?
Such a machine would be described as "One hundred percent efficient". Such a machine doesn't exist.
What would a machine that had 100 percent mechanical efficiency be called?
an ideal machine
Can a machine be more than 100 percent efficient?
100% efficiency would mean that the machine is able to transform energy from one form into another without any loss of energy from the system in the process. For it to have greater than 100% efficiency, it would have to somehow generate additional energy, not contained in the system, in the process, and this is not possible.
If the efficiency of a machine increases what would occur?
Then the machine would have a greater output power, or alternately, require less input power.
When would it be useful to estimate the percent of a number?
When you wish to compare is to another number.
What is the efficiency of a machine that miraculously converts all the input energy to useful output energy?
Such a machine would have an efficiency of 100% and, as the question suggests, it would be a miracle. No real machine is 100% efficient because there are always losses.
Why would a machine with 100 percent efficiency be considered an ideal machine?
No heat loss = maximum output. There would be no loss of energy, which is an ideal condition.
Why would machines work better without friction?
The smaller amount of friction a machine has, the more efficient it becomes.
Is 45 percent efficient a qualitative assessment or quantitative assessment?
A quantitative assessment involves numbers. This says 45% so it is quantitative. Qualitative would involve a description: fairly efficient, very efficient or more efficient than before.
How would you compare a kidney to a washing machine?
Well one way you can answer this question is, Kidney and a watching machine are simular because, they both have a job of cleaning somthing.
What is the percent of 349?
Percent is always a fraction, one number compared to another. Without anything to compare to, one number can be anything. My money would be on 100%
