You don't. Such an efficiency can be less than 1, but it can't be greater than 1.
It SHOULD always be less than the divisor... Otherwise your answer is wrong.
Negative numbers are always less than their absolute value.
A negative number is always less than a positive number, in the exact same way that 3 is less than 4 and always will be.
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%.
Output work is always less than input work.
It is always less than 100% Theoretical machines can have efficiencies of 100% but in practice there is always some energy loss Efficiencies of more than 100% are not allowed by the laws of thermodynamics!
It is the output energy compared to the input energy. This will always be less than 100%
The efficiency is always less than one because some of the energy is always useless for what you want. Most wasted energy eventually turns into heat. therefore the efficiency is like a percentage with 1 being 100% a device can't be 100% efficient as some energy is wasted. To work out the efficiency of a device you need to do the total useful energy produced divided by the total energy that is inputted into the device
why is the efficiency of a calorimeter less than 100%
Because there is always going to be friction, the efficiency of any machine will always be less then 100 percent.
If loads varies then efficiency is less steeply than efficiency. This is taught in science.
That simply means that some energy is lost, due to friction and other causes.
No. A perfectly frictionless machine could have an efficiency of 100%. Anything less perfect must have can efficiency less than 100%.
Efficiency is the ratio of the energy converted into useful work by the machine to the energy supplied to the machine. Certainly it will not be possible to convert all the energy supplied into useful work because of wastage of energy due to so many reasons. So efficiency will be always less than 1. As the efficiency becomes more the loss would become less. Hence it is desirable.
You don't. Such an efficiency can be less than 1, but it can't be greater than 1.
That amount is always less than the energy you put into the system. Divide the amount of useful energy you get from a system by the amount of energy you put into it, and you find the system's 'efficiency'.
