Question 7

A motorised stage turntable receives 2.40 kJ of electrical energy each time it moves scenery. Before a modification, it transfers 1.56 kJ usefully to the kinetic energy store of the turntable and scenery.

The table shows every unwanted energy transfer during one movement.

Unwanted energy transferBefore modification (kJ)After modification (kJ)
Heating caused by friction0.360.21
Heating in electrical connections0.30?
Sound and unwanted vibration0.180.15

The modification reduces the energy transferred by heating in the electrical connections by 40%. The turntable still receives 2.40 kJ for each movement.

Calculate the efficiency of the turntable after the modification.
