A kettle transfers 1500 J of energy, 1200 J to a thermal energy store and 300 J to a vibrational energy store (sound). How efficient is the kettle?

0.8

Explanation:

The efficiency is defined as the ratio of total imput energy that is actually utilized to the end of the device.

So if we have a total transfer of 1500j of energy, and 1200j are used to heat the thing inside the kettle, 300j are not used to the actual function of the kettle.

So the efficiency is n = 1200j/1500j = 0.8

This means that a 80% of the energy imput is actually used to heat the kettle.

"i have always loved contemporary art and made it a general goal to work within the field. after a few nonprofit internships at museums and galleries, i decided to try the for-profit art world and was offered a job as the ad assistant at the magazine. i much prefer the pace of the for-profit art community and have stayed with the company for three years, with a promotion to an account manager last spring."

i just did this and got a 100.
