Answer:
The terminal speed of this object is 12.6 m/s
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the object, m = 80 kg
The magnitude of drag force is,

The terminal speed of an object is attained when the gravitational force is balanced by the gravitational force.



On solving the above quadratic equation, we get two values of v as :
v = 12.58 m/s
v = -15.58 m/s (not possible)
So, the terminal speed of this object is 12.6 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Ignition safety switch
The ignition safety switch, often known as the engine cut-off switch, is the most critical piece of equipment for preventing propeller strike injuries. The purpose of this device is to turn off the boat engine immediately so the propeller will be halted and an accident can be avoided.
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.
