A.I. response
Our use of A.I. is environmentally friendly!
We do an A.I. search for each question, then store the response to that question on our server. No need to do multiple searches! Repeating the same A.I. request would have a much bigger carbon footprint.

Question 1:

The correct formula for efficiency is:

Efficiency=(useful energy output) / (total energy input)

This matches option A.


*These A.I. responses have been individually checked to ensure they match the accepted answer, but explanations may still be incorrect. Responses may give guidance but the A.I. might not be able to answer the question! This is particularly the case for questions based on diagrams, which the A.I. typically cannot interpret.

Question 2:

We have:

Efficiency formula:

Efficiency=(useful energy output) / (total energy input) ×100%

Efficiency=1400/2000×100=0.7×100=70%

Answer: B. 70%

Question 3:

The wasted energy in the Sankey diagram is the energy that is not converted into useful kinetic energy (1400 J).

Since the total input is 2000 J, the wasted energy is:

2000−1400=600 J

In a skateboarder rolling downhill, the main cause of energy loss (wasted energy) is friction between the wheels and the ground, and air resistance, which both convert mechanical energy into thermal energy (heat).

Therefore, the missing label 'X' is likely to be:

D. Thermal energy from friction.

Question 4:

We already calculated:

So the correct pair is:

Energy in X (J) = 600
Energy in X (%) = 30

That matches option A.
