Force and distance is the main criteria for the movement of the object. The work of the object can be defined as the ‘product’ of the force and distance.
You haven't told us anything about the detectors being used. We don't know how the sensitivity of the detector is related to the total number of photons absorbed, and we don't even know whether you and your friend are both using the same type of detector.
All we can do, in desperation, is ASSUME that the minimum time required to just detect a star is inversely proportional to the total number of its photons that strike the detector. That is, assume . . .
(double the number of photons) ===> (detect the source in half the time) .
-- The intensity of light delivered to the prime focus of a telescope is directly proportional to the AREA of its objective lens or mirror, which in turn is proportional to the square of its radius or diameter.
So your telescope gathers (0.18/0.05)² = 12.96 times as much light as your friends telescope does.
-- So we'd expect your instrument to detect the same star in
(119.5 min) / (12.96) = <em>9.22 minutes .</em>
We're simply comparing the performance of two different telescopes as they observe the same object, so the star's magnitude doesn't matter.
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.
