Answer: 3.125 ft

Explanation:

If this dish has the form of a concave upward parabola and its vertex p is at the origin, its corresponding equation is:

x^{2}=4py

Where:

x is the radius, which can be found by dividing the diameter d=10 ft by half. Hence x=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{10 ft}{2}=5 ft

y=2 ft is the depth

p is the vertex of the parabola, where its base is

Finding p:

p=\frac{x^{2}}{4y}

p=\frac{(5 ft)^{2}}{4(2 ft)}

Finally:

p=3.125 ft This is where the the receiver should be placed

Which equation relates charge, time, and current?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

I = Δq / t

Explanation:

The quantity of electricity i.e charge is related to current and time according to the equation equation:

Q = It

Δq = It

Where:

Q => is the quantity of electricity i.e charge

I => is the current.

t => is the time.

Thus, we can rearrange the above expression to make 'I' the subject. This is illustrated below:

Δq = It

Divide both side by t

I = Δq / t
