An x-ray machine works the following way: 1) An emitter that emits an x-ray burst. 2) X-rays pass through less dense objects (skin, muscle) and is blocked by more dense objects ( bone, tumors). 3) The x-rays that passed through the body hit an x-ray film. 4) X-rays darken the film were it is struck, and areas that were unable to pass through appear bright( bones, etc).

How does the work done a machine compare to the work done by a machine?

The work done by a machine is the output energy provided by the machine in an intended task, while the work done on a machine is the input energy required to operate the machine. The work done by the machine should ideally be greater than the work done on the machine to ensure efficiency.

Will a Fushigi ball get you in trouble with the immigration customs officers and the scanning machine at the airport?

I flew domestic out of Denver. The Fushigi was in my carry on bag. It got flagged when going through the xray machine. TSA searched my bag, swabbed the Fushigi for bomb residue, asked a bunch of questions, and then ran it through the Xray again by itself. I almost missed my flight. Got to keep the Fushigi.


How does input work and out put work affect the efficiency of a simple machine?

Input work is the work done on a machine, while output work is the work done by the machine. Efficiency of a simple machine is calculated as the ratio of output work to input work. The efficiency of a simple machine is high when the output work is close to the input work, indicating that the machine is converting most of the input work into useful output work.
