Please answer !!!A company wants to install a sensor to monitor the light level in the offices of their buildings. The sensor co

ntains an LDR which has a resistance of 10kohlms in daylight and 100kohlms in the dark . The choice of resistor in the circuit is between one of 25kohlms and 1 megaohlm. The input p.d to the sensing circuit of 12 v . State and explain which resistor is the best choice for the circuit in light and dark which each of the resistors . You could put your calculations in a table .

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

Drupady [299]

The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a third quarter moon are the following

Explanation:

  • After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next. Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which wanes until the light is completely gone -- a new moon.

waning gibbous phase

  • The waning gibbous phase occurs between the full moon and third quarter phases. The last quarter moon (or a half moon) is when half of the lit portion of the Moon is visible after the waning gibbous phase.

Time takes by the moon to go through all the phases

about 29.5 days

  • It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant “fixed” stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).
  • At 3rd quarter, the moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. Then we see only a crescent. At new, the moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset, and we don't see any of the illuminated side!

yuradex [85]

A) Rubber stops charges from flowing. This protects people by stopping electricity from flowing.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes the point of wrapping rubber around the copper wire is that the rubber stops charges from flowing. This prevents people from getting electrical shocks by stopping the flow  of electricity.

  • A rubber is an insulator.
  • Insulators are substances that prevents the flow of electricity.
  • The lack free mobile electrons or ions that makes them conductors.
  • When they are wrapped round a conductor such as copper wire, they will halt the flow of charges.
  • Copper is a conductor of both heat and electricity. It has free mobile electrons.

Cool facts about satellites ???
svetoff [14.1K]
Satellites travel at 18,000 miles per hour. ...

A satellite gets better fuel economy than a Prius.

If you put all of the data that our satellites collect in a year on DVDs, it would form a stack nearly 4 times the height of the Empire State Building.

There are over 2,500 satellites in orbit around the Earth.

Which of the following is fact-based science rather than part of a personal belief system?
marusya05 [52]
Since there are no choices, then this question calls for open-ended answers. Facts-based science must have proven underlying laws that support inferences such as Coulomb's Law, Kinetic Theory of Matter and many more. On the other hand, examples of science that focus on personal belief is philosophy. This depends on the perspective of known philosophers. An example would be Sigmund Freud who proposed the theory of 3 personalities. Although it is more on personal beliefs, this is used as a foundation in the study of psychology.
