Answer:

Explanation:

The sensor contains an LDR which has a resistance of 10kohlms in daylight and 100kohlms in the dark.

If the resistor in the circuit is 1 megaohlm, the total resistance in daylight and darkness will be 1.01 megaohms and 1.1 megaohlms.

The percentage difference = (1.1-1.01)/1.1*100% = 8.18%

If the resistor in the circuit is 25 kohlm, the total resistance in daylight and darkness will be 35 kohms and 125 kohlms.

The percentage difference = (125-35)/125*100% = 72%

With the input p.d to the sensing circuit fixed at 12 v, the sensing current will change according to the total resistance. A 72% difference is much more detectable. So the 25 kohm resistor is the better choice.

Answer:

Explanation:

V=IR

I=12/(R of resistor + R of LDR)

R of LDR = 10kohm in light and = 100kohm in dark

R1 =  25kohm

R2 = 1Mohm

solve 4 current

                       light                                       dark

R1        12/(25+10)=0.343mA          12/(25+100)=0.096mA

R2       12/(1000+10)=0.012mA       12/(1000+100)=0.011mA

so R1 is better as its easier 2 tell its light or dark

So far, you’ve been working with an "ideal" pulley system. How do you think real pulley systems are different, and how would tha
almond37 [142]

Answer:

In an ideal pulley system is assumed as a perfect system, and the efficiency of the pulley system is taken as 100% such that there are no losses of the energy input to the system through the system's component

However, in a real pulley system, there are several means through which energy is lost from the system through friction, which is converted into heat, sound, as well as other forms of energy

Given that the mechanical advantage = Force output/(Force input), and that the input force is known, the energy loss comes from the output force which is then reduced, and therefore, the Actual Mechanical Advantage (AMA) is less than the Ideal Mechanical Advantage of an "ideal" pulley system

The relationship between the actual and ideal mechanical advantage is given by the efficiency of the pulley system as follows;

Efficiency \, \% = \dfrac{AMA}{IMA}  \times 100

What is a Non-Example of Newton's 1st law?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Say a 14 year old girl was at a construction site and she was asked to move something like a 10,000 pound brick( one brick). She would be acting on it as the unbalanced force but they would still not change their position.

so to say the girl would be doing everything she could to move that brick but the brick would still be in that same spot so the unbalanced force (the girl) would be acting on the thing that was at rest but it wouldn't move.

so the unbalanced force would not really be acting on the thing at rest; even though the unbalanced force was doing something to the brick.

( just think about it and you will eventually get it...just imagine in your head...)

Ben hit a 0.25kg nail into a wood with a 5.2kg hammer. If the hammer moves witht the speed of 52 m/s and two fifth of its kineti
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of nails is 0.25kg

Mass of hammer 5.2kg

Speed of hammer is =52m/s

Then, Ben kinetic energy is given as

K.E= ½mv²

K.E= ½×5.2×52²

K.E= 7030.4J

Given that, two-fifth of kinetic energy is converted to internal energy

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × K.E

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × 7030.4

I.E=2812.16J.

Energy increase is total Kinetic energy - the internal energy

∆Et= K.E-I.E

∆Et= 7030.4 - 2812.16

∆Et= 4218.24J
