A satellite dish is shaped like a paraboloid of revolution. This means that it can be formed by rotating a parabola around its a

xis of symmetry. The receiver is to be located at the focus. If the dish is 48 feet across at its opening and 4 feet deep at its center, where should the receiver be placed

pentagon [3]3 years ago
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

Accelerating charges radiate electromagnetic waves. calculate the wavelength of radiation produced by a proton in a cyclotron wi
levacccp [35]

B = magnetic field in the cyclotron = 0.400 T

q = magnitude of charge on a proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

m = mass of the proton = 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

f = frequency of revolution of proton in the cyclotron = ?

v = speed of electromagnetic waves = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of electromagnetic wave = ?

Frequency of revolution of proton in the cyclotron is given as

f = qB/(2πm)

inserting the values

f = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)(0.400)/(2 (3.14) (1.67 x 10⁻²⁷))

f = 6.1 x 10⁶ Hz

wavelength of electromagnetic wave is given as

λ = v/f

λ = (3 x 10⁸)/(6.1 x 10⁶)

λ = 49.2 m

The acceleration of the boat is 2 m/s^2 (eastward)

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's second law, which states that:

F = ma (1)

where

F is the net force on a body

m is its mass

a is its acceleration

First of all, we have to find the net force acting on the boat. We have:

- The force of the motor, 100 N eastward

- The force of the air resistance, 60 N westward

So the net force is:

F = 100 N - 60 N = 40 N (eastward)

Now we can apply eq.(1), using:

F = 40 N

m = 20 kg (mass of the boat)

and solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{40}{20}=2.0 m/s^2

And the direction is the same as the net force (eastward).

Which experiment has a non-uniform probability model? Select two answers. A. Tossing a fair coin one time B. Randomly guessing t
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

C and D

Explanation:

A uniform probability model is a probabilistic model characterized by a uniform probability density function, or uniform distribution.

In common language, a uniform probability distribution means that all possible outcomes in the probability space have the same probability of occurrence.

So:

- A fair toss of coin every possible outcome (H,T) has probability 0.5. It is modeled by by a uniform discrete distribution.

- Randomly selected answer to an MCQ with four options would have probability of success 0.25 for every MCQ. It is modeled by by a uniform discrete distribution.  

- Spinning a spinner with sections that are different sizes, each section would have different probabilities proportional to the coverage area on the. It is modeled by a non-uniform discrete distribution

- Pulling a red marble out of a bag with 6 red marbles, 3 green marbles, and 1 yellow marble. Each successive time a red marble is drawn the probability decreases. Hence, non uniform distribution.

- Spinning a spinner on which all sections are the same size. Each section would have similar probabilities proportional to the coverage area on the. It is modeled by a uniform discrete distribution .

Describe, in as much detail as you can, how the energy
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

As a type of thermal power station, a coal-fired power station converts chemical energy stored in coal successively into thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy. The coal is usually pulverized and then burned in a pulverized coal-fired boiler.Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity.
