Group of answer choices

as a fraction

as a percentage

as inches or feet

as one of three classes

As a percentage

Explanation:

The mechanical efficiency of a machine is the percentage of energy in input to the machine that is converted into useful work.

Mathematically, the efficiency of a machine is given by:

where:

W is the useful work in output from the machine

E is the energy in input to the machine

For example, a machine with 80% efficiency means that it converts 80% of the input energy into work.

A machine can never be 100% efficient, since part of the input energy is wasted due to the presence of frictional forces.

So, the efficiency of a machine is expressed as a percentage.

there is no correct list among the choices you've provided.

the list might look something like this:

-- baby human

-- piccolo

-- flute

-- soprano singer

-- trumpet

-- tenor singer

-- trombone

-- baritone singer

-- baritone horn

-- bass singer

-- tuba

since i had to make up the list myself, i made it easy on myself, and i didn't try to shuffle the string instruments and woodwinds into it too.
