How do you calculate the efficiency of energy transfers?
Sabrinat123
Only 10% of the energy in one level gets to the next. The other 90% is used on movement. If you can figure out how much energy is in one trophic level, you can get how much energy gets to the next level by multiplying it by 0.1

Which term defines something that transfers thermal energy efficiently?
Heat transfers thermal energy efficiently from one source to another. The movement of particles when heated results in this efficiency.
What compares the energy output of a system with its energy input?
Is it's Energy Efficiency.
What a wave transfers?
energy.
What is the energy transfer in an electric cooker?
in the cooker energy transfers that goes in is electric energy, transfers that go out are heat and light energy
When A wave transfers energy true or false?
The answer is true. The greater the energy the greater the amplitude.
Which term defines something that transfers thermal energy efficiently?
Heat transfers thermal energy efficiently from one source to another. The movement of particles when heated results in this efficiency.
How can you calculate the efficiency of an appliance in terms of power?
vague question. Efficiency in terms of energy = useful energy/total energy x 100 vague question. Efficiency in terms of energy = useful energy/total energy x 100
Explain efficiency and how to calculate it for different simple machines?
Efficiency means to calculate that is the machine is efficient enough to save your bill or use less electricity. To calculate the formula is:Efficiency = Energy output (what is the machine producing) divided by Energy input (what is the machine taking or using).
Calculate the efficiency of glycolysis if 12 kcal of energy are required to transfer energy from glucose to ATP?
0.11666666666666668
How do you calculate cost efficiency?
say energy costs 5 cents and the efficiency is 0.1kwh cost= 0.1kwh x 0.05 cost= o.oo5cents
How the efficiency of machine be obtained?
Efficiency is output power divided by input power. You somehow have to measure, calculate, or estimate both; the details will vary depending on the type of energy input and energy output.
How do you calculate efficiency and how is it expressed?
For efficiency, you have to consider the energy or work that you get out of the machine, compared to the energy or work that you put into the machine. Its what you get out, divided by what you put in. By multiplying the result by 100, you should then get the efficiency expressed as a percentage, which is the normal way of describe how efficient a machine or process is. efficiency = (Work out/Work in) x 100 Sometimes you are given the efficiency in a problem, but then have to calculate either the work out or work in, so then its just a case of rearranging the equation above.
What compares the energy output of a system with its energy input?
Is it's Energy Efficiency.
What poorly transfers in thermal energy?
Thermal energy poorly and slowly transfers in liquids
What is the difference between high efficiency and low efficiency?
Efficiency describes how well a device transfers one form of energy to another form of usefull energy. High efficiency transforms most of the energy with very little loss. Low efficiency only transforms a small amount into usefull energy and the rest is usually lost to heat energy from friction. For example, a car is a low efficiency device because only a small amount (I forget the actual number. Probably around 50%) of the chemical energy in gasoline actually gets converted to energy of moving the car. The rest is lost to air resistance, friction between all the moving parts & and unused heat out the exhaust pipe.
