Answer:

The machines efficiency is 80% .

Explanation:

Formula


Efficiency = (W_(out)* 100)/(W_(in))

Where
W_(out) represented the output work .


W_(in) represented the input work .

As given

If a machine input of 5,000 joules of work to put out 4,000 joules of work .

Input work = 5000 joules

Output work = 4000 joules

Putting the values in the formula


Efficiency = (4000* 100)/(5000)


Efficiency = (400000)/(5000)

Efficiency = 80%

Therefore the machines efficiency is 80% .
