Testing Thermistor

Click For Summary

Calibration is essential for ensuring that a thermistor provides accurate temperature readings. To calibrate the sensor, immerse it in a water and ice mixture to establish the resistance value at 0°C. This process helps create a reliable scale for the thermistor's readings across its range. The user has already collected resistance data at ten-degree intervals from 0 to 150°C, which will aid in further calibration. Proper calibration will enhance the accuracy of the coursework results.

Hi please help I have to do a piece of coursework on sensors. I am testing a thermistor and my teacher mentioned something about calibration but I don't know what it is can someone help please. I have taken results for the resistances for every ten degrees from 0 to 150

Emerse your sensor in a water/ice chip mix to find the value at 0C. This will calibrate your scale.

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
