The Law of Conservation of Energy, also known as the First Law of Thermodynamics.

No physical machine is ideal. Friction is always a loss of energy.
A high efficiency machine will produce more of what is it that you want with the same power as the low efficiency one. In other words, for a low efficiency machine do as much as a high efficiency one, you have to give it more power (energy).

The efficiency of a compound machine is calculated by dividing the output work of the machine by the input work. Mathematically, it can be expressed as Efficiency = (Output work / Input work) * 100%. It gives a measure of how well the machine converts input work into useful output work.
You have to divide the part that is NOT lost by the input work. This will give you a decimal between 0 and 1; if you want to convert it to percent, multiply this result by 100.
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%.
100% is the maximum of any closed system, therefore it cannot be exceeded.
useful energy output divided by total energy output x 100 give answer as a percentage, which is why you multiplied by 100
Efficiency as a percent is output/input * 100%12000/15000 * 100% = 80% efficiency which makes sense, because it takes more work (input) than it give out (output). So the efficiency should be less than 100%.
If this, ie 70%, is the total energy loss, it follows that the engine is producing 30% useful energy, so that is its thermodynamic efficiency.
no you cant. you also cant give a gerbil any type of soda.
