Earth's atmosphere is made up of a combination of gases. The major components of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon remain constant over time and space, while trace components like CO2 and water vapor vary considerably over both space and time.

In Burglar alarm LDR acts as a/an<br> a. off switch<br> b. on switch<br> c. AND gate<br> d. OR gate
Gelneren [198K]

In Burglar alarm, LDR acts an AND gate.

Answer: C

Explanation

The LDR is light dependent resistor. The principle used in the working of LDR is that the resistance is inversely proportional to the intensity of light falling on the diode.

In burglar alarm, LDR diode is combined with an IC 555.

Normally an LED source is made to be incident on the LDR diode with same intensity such that the resistance will be maintained constant.

As the LDR is connected with IC, the voltage will be high when light is falling on the diode.

The IC will give only two output states that is high and low. This confirms that LDR in burglar alarm act as AND gate.

As the thief enters and crosses the LED light, the intensity of the light falling on the diode will decrease leading to decrease in the voltage which will cause the alarm to beep.

A crane lifts a 1,750 kg mass using a steel cable whose mass per unit length is 0.88 kg/m. What is the speed of transverse waves
Sauron [17]

Answer:

139.6m/s

Explanation:

Calculate the tension first, T=m*g

mass(m): 1750kg, gravity(g): 9.8m/s^2

T= 1750*9.8

 =17150N

Then calculate the wave speed using the equation v = √ (T/μ)

v= √(17150N)/(0.88kg/m)

 =139.6m/s

At a given instant in time, two cars are traveling at different velocities, one twice as large as the other. Based on this infor
Sati [7]

Answer: No, is not possible.

Explanation:

We have two cars traveling at different velocities, one with velocity v and other with velocity 2*v

We want to know of it is possible to say which of these two cars has the larger acceleration at this instant of time.

Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity, for example, if acceleration = 0, the velocity does not change.

Notice that knowing only the velocity at a given instant of time, we do not have any way of knowing the acceleration of each car.

Such that acceleration is given by the second Newton's equation:

F = m*a

force equals mass times acceleration.

We do not know any of these quantities for the cars, so we can not say anything about the accelerations.

We also could know the average acceleration if we know the change in velocity over an interval of time, such that:

Av acceleration = (change in velocity)/(interval of time)

But here we do not have a change in velocity, so again, we can't say anything about the acceleration.

A segull flying horizontally at 15m/s drops a clam. The clam takes 3.0sec to hit the ground. How high was the seagull when the c
lora16 [44]

The distance a dropped object falls, with gravity and no air resistance:

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (falling time)²

Without air resistance, the horizontal motion has no effect on the fall.

Acceleration of Earth gravity = 9.8 m/s²

Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (falling time)²

Distance = (1/2) (9.81 m/s²) (3.0 s)²

Distance = (0.5) x (9.81 m/s²) x (9.0 s²)

Distance = (0.5 x 9.81 x 9.0) (m-s² / s²)

Distance = 44.15 meters

We don't care how fast the bird was flying horizontally.  It doesn't change anything.  (It DOES determine how far ahead of the drop point the clam hits the ground.  Most problems like this ask for that distance.  This one didn't.)
