The question is a little vague, but if I understand correctly, you're asking why a machine doesn't release as much energy as you put in to it. The reason for this is that energy is very unpredictable. For instance, if you add 1000 W into an electric kettle, not all the energy will go into heating the water. Some of the energy gets lost in the wires, some of the released heat might go into the air, some of the water might boil, etc. The same thing applies for all other machines.

What can cause a machine to be less than 100 perecnt efficent?

Friction Heat generated Energy lost in loose links and gears etc.


What would a machine that had 100 percent mechanical efficiency be called?

A machine with 100 percent mechanical efficiency would be called an ideal machine, as it would have no energy losses due to friction, heat, or other inefficiencies.


Why can the percent yield exceed to 100 percent?

because 100 percent is the total or the whole and we cant exceed that because in other words it is everything


How does the output work compare to the input work for a machine that has an efficiency equal to 100 percent?

If a machine has 100 percent efficiency, the output work = the input work. That's actually basically what the efficiency of a machine is - output work / input work * 100.


What kind of effi ciency does an ideal machine have?

100 Percent.


Is there anything reach 100 percent?

If you are talking about machine, then NO. Perfect machine is practically impossible to create.


Why a normal machine could not have the mechanical efficiency of 100?

Because there is always going to be friction, the efficiency of any machine will always be less then 100 percent.


Does an ideal machine have an effciency of 100 percent?

No, an ideal machine cannot have an efficiency of 100 percent. This is because some energy is always lost as heat due to factors like friction and resistance. The best an ideal machine can achieve is an efficiency of 100% by having no energy losses.


If the work on a machine equal the output work the machine is said to be 100 percent effentient?

Yes, that's correct. When the work input to a machine equals the output work, the machine is considered 100 percent efficient. This means that all the energy put into the machine is transformed into useful work without any energy being wasted or lost.


What factor prevents a machine from operating at 100 percent efficiency?

Friction is one factor that prevents a machine from operating at 100 percent efficiency. Some energy is lost as heat due to friction between moving parts, which reduces the overall efficiency of the machine.


Why is mechanical advantage never 100 percent?

It tells you how many times the machine multiplys force


What is 22 percent as a reduced fraction?

22/100 you cant reduce that anymore since 22 doesn't go into 100 evenly.
