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

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

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 2
Answer:

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

the jamaican bobsled team hit the brakes on their sled so that it decelerates at a uniform rate of 0.43 m/s, how long does it take to stop if it travels 85 m before coming to rest

Answers

 here's a cheap trick 
it would take the same time to accelerate from rest to top speed 
as it would take to decelerate from top speed to zero 
so 
instead of 
d = Vi t + 1/2 a t^2 where Vi is positive and a is negative 
we'll use 
Vi = 0 and a is positive 
giving 
85 = 0 + 1/2 (0.43) t^2 = 0.215 t^2 
t^2 = 395.345 
t = 19.88s or 20. s to 2 sig figs 

or we ccould find Vi from 
Vf*2 = Vi^2 + 2 a d 
0 = Vi^2 + 2 (0.43) 85 
Vi^2 = 71.4 
Vi = 8.45m/s 
then 
85 = 8.45 t + 1/2 (-0.43) t^2 
85 = 8.45 t - 0.215 t^2 
0.215 t^2 - 8.45 + 85 = 0 
t = 19.65s or 20. s to 2 s.f.(minor difference arises from rounding Vi) 
or another cheap trick 
when a is constant 
Vavg = (Vf + Vi) /2 = 8.45/2 = 4.225 
and 
d = Vavg t 
85 = 4.225 t 
t = 20.12 or 20. s to 2 s.f. (minor differences from intermidiate roundings) 

anyway you choose you get 20. s
