RELATION BETWEEN OUTPUT AND INPUT ENERGY

OUTPUT AND INPUT ENERGY

SUBAHAAN KHAN

STUDENT

INTRODUCTION : Making easier to understand students like me who are in a

confusion and want to know more about physics and machines.

AIM : To understand output energy != input energy , i.e., Ein not equal to Eout but can be
approx.

EXPERIMENT :

OBJECTS : taking 2 tooth wheels of same size and diameter of a cycle , pedals, a tight ,
crank set , tight chain, rear cog and front cog

PROCESS: 1. Attach the both tooth wheels as we do in a gear of cycle

2. Now attach the pedal to the front tooth wheel

3. Now start pedaling for 3-4 seconds and after doing it stop pedaling, the gear will stop

looking like output energy is equal to input energy, but it isn’t the fact

OBSERVATIONS : 1. When you started pedaling and stopped you will think that
input energy will be equal to output energy, but it will be not as some of the energy will be lost in heat,

frictions etc.

INPUT ENERGY:

2. The energy that you apply to the pedals of a bicycle is the input energy. This energy is

usually in the form of mechanical work done by your legs.

3. The input energy is transferred from the pedals to the chainring (front gear/ tooth wheel)
through the crank set. The chain transfers this energy from the chainring to the rear cog (rear
gear/ tooth wheel)

OUTPUT ENERGY

4.The rear cog, attached to the rear wheel, converts the energy from the chain into rotational
motion of the wheel. This rotational motion propels the bicycle forward.

IN AN IDEAL MACHINE

Efficiency Considerations

 In an ideal system, the input energy would be completely converted into output energy.
 In real-world systems, some energy is lost due to friction, heat, and other inefficiencies. This
means the output energy is slightly less than the input energy.

SIMPLIFIED

 Pedals (Input Energy): Mechanical work by the cyclist's legs.

 Crank set and Chainring: Transfers energy to the chain.
 Chain: Transmits energy from the chainring to the rear cog.
 Rear Cog and Wheel (Output Energy): Converts energy into rotational motion of the wheel.

in an ideal system without losses: Ein=Eout

In a real system with efficiency η (where 0<η<1) ,i.e Ein is not equal to Eoutput

CONCLUSIONS

1. We reached on the conclusions that input energy cannot

be equal to output energy in real life.

2. But it is possible in ideal world with an ideal machine
