Question

How do machines use energy and momentum?

Answer 1

Please elaborate your question.

Answer 2

how? that's all the question had asked ;-;

Answer 3

In which context are we talking about ?
Or, what is the name of the chapter ?

Answer 4

it said "Glucose energy for life" but a machine isn't a living thing so im confused why they would ask me about machines

Answer 5

Is this for a chemistry class?

Answer 6

Machines use energy and momentum to perform work.

Answer 7

no its for integrated science o:
so its pretty much used in the same way living things use it?

Answer 8

Yep!!
Theoretically, we can prove that there is an upper limit on the amount of work that can be extracted from any energy transformation (for a so-called reversible machine).

Any other machine, whether living or non-living cannot be more efficient than the reversible machine. Hence, we can deduce an upper-limit for the amount of work done without knowing the characteristics of the machine.

I guess, that's why they are comparing living things to a machine. To assert how much work can an organism do by burning a given amount of glucose.

Answer 9

oh wow okay thank you so much!o:

Answer 10

You're welcome :)
