Can a machine with moving parts continue moving forever without having to add any energy?

No, due to factors like friction and wear, a machine with moving parts will eventually lose energy and momentum, causing it to stop without additional energy input.


A claim that a machine thar run forever therefore producing as much energy aa it consumes violates what?

The claim that a machine can run forever, producing as much energy as it consumes, violates the law of conservation of energy. This law states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another. Therefore, perpetual motion machines that produce more energy than they consume are not possible within the constraints of this fundamental law of physics.


What type of energy does a washing machine use?

A washing machine typically uses electrical energy to power its motors, components, and heating elements. Some washing machines also have options for using different water temperature settings, which may require additional energy for heating.


From time to time people claim to have invented a machine that will run forever without energy input and develop more energy than it uses (perpetual motion). What is wrong with this claim?

Perpetual motion violates the laws of thermodynamics, specifically the first and second laws. The first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted. The second law states that in any energy transfer or conversion, some energy is lost as heat, making it impossible to have a machine run forever without energy input and generate more energy than it uses.


What typeof energy is brought about by this machine?

The machine produces electrical energy.

Is newtons cradle an example of perpetual montion machine?

No, Newton's Cradle is not an example of a perpetual motion machine. A perpetual motion machine hypothetically runs forever via some external, infinite power source (or, alternatively, it simply requires no additional momentum to continue). However, a Newton's Cradle does not continue forever: its energy slowly falls over time, making it non-perpetual.


What is perpetual motion machine?

A perpetual motion machine is something that will keep spinning or moving (typically involves rotation, but not always) forever without the need to keep adding energy. These are typically viewed as something that will move forever that we can connect a generator to in order to obtain free infinate energy.

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.

The energy that is used to make a machine run is electrical energy.


What is a form of energy that results from movement of machine parts?

Mechanical energy.


In what way is a machine subject to the law of energy conservation?

The law of conservation of energy was never found to be violated. The relevance for a machine is that a machine can not produce more energy than is put into the machine.
