The time taken by a transverse wave to propagate from one end to another depends on the number of oscillation made by the wave itself. If the total number of oscillation of the wave is known, the time taken by the wave to propagate through can be determined.

Note that the term "period" is the time taken by a transverse wave to complete one oscillation. So if we know the number of oscillation made in one second by the wave and the total oscillation made, then we can know determine how long it will take a transverse wave to propagate from one end of the string to the other

A satellite dish is in the shape of a parabolic surface. Signals coming from a satellite strike the surface of the dish and are

LenKa [72]

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

Aliun [14]

Answer: Static electricity is the build up of an electrical charge on the surface of an object. It's called "static" because the charges remain in one area rather than moving or "flowing" to another area.
