How do you prove that the efficiency C arnot is greater than 1?
You don't. Such an efficiency can be less than 1, but it can't be greater than 1.
What is efficiency always less than?
It is always less than 1 or 100%.It is always less than 1 or 100%.It is always less than 1 or 100%.It is always less than 1 or 100%.
What does a mechanical advantages less than 1 equal to 1and greater than 1 tell you about the machine?
It tells me that the machine is imaginary and does not exist.
What is the efficiency is the output work is 12000 and the input work is 15000?
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%.
Is it possible to design a machine that has an efficiency that is greater than 100 percent yes or no?
No. That would violate Conservation of Energy, so it follows that it isn't possible.
