An inefficient machine is said to waste energy Does this mean that energy is actually lost?
No. By wasting energy, this means that the machine is not as efficient at converting input into work as it could be. Generally the energy is converted into friction or heat by mechanical means and is counted as a loss towards viable work as it can not be utilized, but the total amount of energy is equivalent.
What does stored mechanical energy mean?
Movements of parts
How does friction change the energy in a machine?
Well i think friction and air resistance cause some of the mechanical energy of an object to change to thermal energy so the mechanical energy of the object is not destroyed. Rather, it is transformed into thermal energy. the total amount of energy always stays the same. <3 Tayler
Why can't mechanical efficiency be over 100 percent?
The mechanical efficiency can't be over 100% because a type of energy is always lost. For example, it can be lost as heat, sound or even light. When you use a light bulb, it produces light, but heat is lost in the process. See what I mean! In most cases, heat is lost due to friction. the work put out by a machine is always less than the work put into a machine to do the work. Therefore no machine is 100% efficient. As well.... Efficiency is (power out/power in) x 100. To get an efficiency of *more* than 100%, the machine must give more power out than is put in. No machine has ever been demonstrated that does this, and until someone can show this result (power out *more* than power in), we know that any machine has an efficiency less than 100%.
What is the mechanical advantage of three pullies?
It depends on how you arrange the pullies and what you mean by 'three'. A pulley block can have 3 sheeves, it would have to be used in conjunction with another pulley block with either 2 or 3 sheeves and rigged to advantage or disadvantage. Or you could have 3 pulley blocks with a single sheeve in each and each one acts on the hauled part of the other, in tandem. Not enough information.

This inventor painter and sculptor sketched ideas for a mechanical adding machine?
Leonardo da Vinci. Experts mean the sketch does not really show an adding machine, but a ratio machine.
Does a mechanical advantage value of 2 mean that your input force was 2 times larger than your output force?
No, it means that the output is two times larger than input.
What do you mean when you say that a certain machine is very efficient?
you mean that is works very fast and does the job you want it to do well and quickly to a high satisfaction.
What does mechanosensitive mean?
Mechanosensitivity is the specific response done by certain organisms when exposed to mechanical activity. These responses can be positive or negative in nature, depending on the organism.
What are advantages of a machine language?
Advantage? That is not the right question. there is really NO ANSWER.Machine language is the BASE LANGUAGE that a Machine work in.Example: Go Left, Go Right is what we first think of as Machine language. But actually the commands: "Move memory location 1024 to CPU register location 2", Then "shift That register 1 BITE left", then "store back in location 1024"The above are examples of machine language.The first is that of mechanical systems that have HARDWARE to define 'Go' .. be it left or right. The second is an example of 3 steps of Machine instructions in a computer's CPU. One step in a CPU can take 1 billionth of a second.So Assuming that you mean COMPUTER Machine language?IT is easier to program in non-machine language. BUT ALL languages will convert or TRANSLATE the code you type into machine CODE. It is VERY hard to program in Machine code (The hardness determined by the CPU and what it controls).COMPUTERS DO NOT RUN ON ANY OTHER LANGUAGE BUT 'MACHINE CODE'. That is all they understand. So It MAY be an advantage to instruct in machine code if there is an advantage otherwise there is not. Confusing? ENTIRE VOLUMES OF BOOKS have been written on this topic.But when it comes down to the basics? There is nothing more basic than Machine Code.ce
What does it mean when the IMA is less than 1.0?
If an IMA (ideal mechanical advantage) is less than one, that means the lever the force is applied to is shorter than the lever lifting the load.
