7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Given dish width= 48ft

Depth = 4ft

Using equation of a parabola

x²= 4py

48² = 4p 4

4p = 576

P= 144ft

Thus the the receiver should be placed 144ft from t the vertex

A ladder 10 ft long rests against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at a rate of 1.4 ft/s,
Art [367]

Answer:

\dfrac{d\theta}{dt} =-0.233\ rad/s

Explanation:

given,

length of ladder = 10 ft

let x be the distance of the bottom and y be the distance of the top of ladder.

x² + y² = 100

differentiating with respect to time we get

2 x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt} = 0..............(1)

when x = 8 and y = 6 and when \dfrac{dx}{dt} = 1.4ft/s

from equation (1)

now,

16\times 1.4 + 12\dfrac{dy}{dt} = 0

\dfrac{dy}{dt} = -\dfrac{5.6}{3}

let the angle between the ladders be θ

tan\theta = \dfrac{y}{x}

y = xtan θ

\dfrac{dy}{dt} =\dfrac{dy}{dt} tan\theta + x sec^2\theta\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}

-\dfrac{5.6}{3} =1.4\times \dfrac{6}{8} + 8 (1+\dfrac{9}{16})\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}

\dfrac{25}{2} \dfrac{d\theta}{dt} =\dfrac{-17.5}{6}

\dfrac{d\theta}{dt} =-0.233\ rad/s

Newly discovered planet has twice the mass and three times the radius of the earth. What is the free-fall acceleration at its su
skad [1K]

Answer:

g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g

Explanation:

M = Mass of Earth

G = Gravitational constant

R = Radius of Earth

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is

g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}

On new planet

g_n=\dfrac{G2M}{(3R)^2}\\\Rightarrow g_n=\dfrac{2GM}{9R^2}

Dividing the two equations we get

\dfrac{g_n}{g}=\dfrac{\dfrac{2GM}{9R^2}}{\dfrac{GM}{R^2}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{g_n}{g}=\dfrac{2}{9}\\\Rightarrow g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g

The acceleration due to gravity on the other planet is g_n=\dfrac{2}{9}g
