Energy Dissipation and Efficiency: Understanding the Relationship between Input and Output Energy

The video tutorial explains the concept of energy efficiency, using examples like a light bulb, a bottle rocket, and a skier on a slope. It defines efficiency as the ratio of useful energy output to total energy input, expressed as a percentage. The tutorial provides step-by-step calculations to determine efficiency in different scenarios, highlighting how energy is transferred and dissipated.
