What are the similarities & differences between a thermistor and a light dependent resistor in physics?

Physics

viva [34]2 years ago

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.

15. If an 800.-kg sports car slows to 13.0 m/s to check out an accident scene and the
goldfiish [28.3K]

The final combined velocity after the collision is 20.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the two car and of the truck must be conserved before and after the collision.

This means that we can write the following equation:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v  

where:  

m_1 = 800 kg is the mass of the sport car

u_1 = 13.0 m/s is the initial velocity of the car (taking its direction as positive  direction)

m_2 = 1200 kg is the mass of the truck

u_2 = 25.0 m/s is the initial velocity of the truck

v is the final combined velocity of the car and the truck, after the collision

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find the velocity after the collision:

v=\frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(800)(13)+(1200)(25)}{800+1200}=20.2 m/s

And the positive sign indicates their final direction is the same as the initial direction of the two vehicles.

The same wave travels for 2 seconds, what is its frequency?*
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

In waves distance is measured by wave length  and time is measured by frequency or period.

velocity ratio=wave length multiply by frequency.

HENCE, if the same wave travels for 2 econds its frequency will be 2Hz.

A billiard ball of mass m moving with speed v1=1 m/s collides head-on with a second ball of mass 2m which is at rest. What is th
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The velocity of mass 2m is  v_B = 0.67 m/s

Explanation:

From the question w are told that

     The mass of the billiard ball A is =m

     The initial speed  of the billiard ball A = v_1 =1 m/s

    The mass of the billiard ball B is = 2 m

    The initial speed  of the billiard ball  B = 0

Let the final speed  of the billiard ball A  = v_A

Let The finial speed  of the billiard ball  B = v_B

      According to the law of conservation of Energy

                 \frac{1}{2} m (v_1)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (0) ^ 2 = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2

              Substituting values  

                \frac{1}{2} m (1)^2  = \frac{1}{2} m (v_A)^2 + \frac{1}{2} 2m (v_B)^2

Multiplying through by \frac{1}{2}m

                1 =v_A^2 + 2 v_B ^2 ---(1)

    According to the law of conservation of Momentum

            mv_1 + 2m(0) = mv_A + 2m v_B

    Substituting values

            m(1)  = mv_A + 2mv_B

Multiplying through by m

           1 = v_A + 2v_B ---(2)

making v_A subject of the equation 2

            v_A = 1 - 2v_B

Substituting this into equation 1

         (1 -2v_B)^2 + 2v_B^2 = 1

         1 - 4v_B + 4v_B^2 + 2v_B^2 =1

          6v_B^2  -4v_B +1 =1

          6v_B^2 -4v_B =0

Multiplying through by \frac{1}{v_B}

          6v_B -4 = 0

            v_B = \frac{4}{6}

            v_B = 0.67 m/s

How do you determine the wattage capacity needed by a power supply?
Lady bird [3.3K]
We could use the formula for the Power supply in order to find the wattage capacity and it would be:

P = V²/R or P = V * I

Hope this helps!
