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

What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of an electron at a point where the electric field has magnitude 7400 N
bezimeni [28]

Answer: a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s² due north

Explanation: The magnitude of the force required to move the electron is given as

F = ma

The force exerted on the charge by the electric field of intensity (E) is given by

F = Eq

Thus

Eq = ma

a = E * q/ m

Where a = acceleration of charge

E = strength of electric field = 7400N/c

q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609 * 10^-6c

m = mass of an electronic charge = 9.109 * 10^-31kg

a = 7400 * 1.609 * 10^-16/ 9.109 * 10^-31

a = 11906.6 * 10^-16 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 1.19 * 10^-12 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 0.132 * 10^19

a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s²

As stated in the question, the direction of the electric field is due north hence, the direction of it force will also be north thus making the electron experience a force due north ( according to Newton second law of motion)

The mass of a lift is 600kg.the. The maximum tensile force that the cable supporting the lift can withstand is 7kN. Calculate th
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
Force is the product of mass and acceleration .
The question is ask to find acceleration.
But acceleration is the ratio of the force and the mass.
where 600kg is the mass and 7kN is the force
NB: kilo is 1000
now we have to multiply 7N by 1000
by doing so you will have 7000N
which is the force.
Now to find the acceleration: force/ mass
which is 7000/600
therefore the maximum acceleration is 11.667

An ideal gas Carnot cycle with air in a piston cylinder has a high temperature of 1200 K and a heat rejection at 400 K. During t
lana [24]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity is q_{L}=126.12kJ/kg

The efficiency of the temperature is n_{TH}=0.67

Explanation:

The p-v diagram illustration is in the attachment

T_{H} means high temperature

T_{L} means low temperature

The energy equation :

q_{h} = R* T_{h} in(V_{2}/V_{1})

   =0.287 * 1200 ln(3)

   =0.287*1318.33

   =378.36kJ/kg

The specific heat capacity:

q_{L}=q_{h}*(T_{L}/T_{H})

q_{L}=378.36 * (400/1200)

q_{L}=378.36 * 0.333

q_{L}=126.12kJ/kg

The efficiency of the temperature will be:

n_{TH}=1 - (T_{L}/T_{H})

n_{TH}=1-(400/1200)

n_{TH}=1-0.333

n_{TH}=0.67

As shown in the picture above, a sled of mass 67 kilograms is pulled
Scorpion4ik [409]

Explanation:

F net of sled = Tension force by rope - Kinetic friction between ground.

F normal of sled = mg = (67kg)(9.81kg/m^2) = 657.27N.

Kinetic friction = 0.18 (I cannot see the value) * Normal force of sled = 0.18 * 657.27N = 118.31N

So F net of sled = 800N - 118.31N = 681.69N.

(I cannot see what the question is asking for, please check on your own!)
