An LDR's resistance changes with light intensity, while a thermistor's resistancce changes with temperature.

In dark, LDR's resistance is large and in the day/light LDR's resistance is small.

At low temperature, thermistor's resistance is large, while at large temperature it resistance is small.

In an LDR Resistance increases as light intensity falls, while in a thermistor resistance falls as temperature falls.

When Missourians carve their initials into the bark of a tree, the damage leaves the tree open to ____________________.

sasho [114]

Answer:

In fact, carving letters into a tree probably won't hurt it. ... In general, the tree will compartmentalize the wound and it will heal over. The initials that remain visible are essentially scar tissue, permanent scar tissue.

Explanation:

Unfortunately, when carving into the trunk of a tree the blade of a knife often penetrates the outer bark and cuts into the inner bark. ... In cases that the phloem is damaged all the way around the trunk (in a ring for example), the tree will slowly and eventually starve to death.

If you were trying to build a soundproof room, which of the following materials would you choose in order to absorb the most sou

leonid [27]

Explanation :

Absorption coefficient of a material determines how much sound is absorbed by the material.

To build a soundproof room, Heavy curtains and carpet can be used. They reduce reverberation.

Reverberation means an echoing sound which persists for some time. For example, when we bang on a huge piece of metal, we hear the reverberation even after we stop banging.

Hence, option (A) and (D) are correct.

a body of a mass 1kg suspended from a spring is found to stretch the spring by 10cm. (A) what is the spring constant? what is pe

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

(A) The spring constant is <u>98 N/m.</u>

(B) The period of oscillation is <u>0.635 s.</u>

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the body is, $m=1\ kg$

Extension length of the spring is, $x=10\ cm=0.1\ m$

Now, let 'k' be the spring constant.

The force acting on the body is due to gravity only and is equal to its weight.

So, weight of the body is given as:

$F_g=mg\\F_g=1\times 9.8\\F_g=9.8\ N$

Now, we know that for a spring-mass system, the net force acting on the body is equal to the product of the spring constant and extension length. Therefore,

$F_g=kx\\9.8=k(0.1)\\k=\frac{9.8}{0.1}=98\ N/m$

Hence, the spring constant is 98 N/m.

(B)

Period of oscillation of a body of spring-mass system in SHM is given as:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

Plug in the given values and solve for period 'T'. This gives,

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{1}{98}}\\T=2\pi\times 0.101\\T=0.635\ s$

Therefore, the period of oscillation is 0.635 s.

A ball is thrown at a 60.0° angle above the horizontal across level ground. It is thrown from a height of 2.00 m above the groun

klio [65]

Answer:

Option E is correct.

Time the ball remains in the air before striking the ground is closest to 3.64 s

Explanation:

yբ = yᵢ + uᵧt + gt²/2

yբ = 0

yᵢ = 2 m

uᵧ = u sinθ = 20 sin 60 = 17.32 m/s

g = -9.8 m/s², t = ?

0 = 2 + 17.32t - 4.9t²

4.9t² - 17.32t - 2 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation,

t = 3.647 s or t = -0.1112 s

time is a positive variable, hence, t = 3.647 s. Option E.
