Angle, θ2 at which the light leaves mirror 2 is 56°

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

θ1 = 64°

So, α will also be 64°

According to the figure:

α + β = 90°

So,

β = 90° - α

  = 90° - 64°

  = 26°

β + γ + 120° = 180°

γ = 180° - 120° - β

γ = 180° - 120° - 26°

γ = 34°

γ + δ = 90°

δ = 90° - γ

δ = 90° - 34°

δ = 56°

According to the law of reflection,

angle of incidence = angle of reflection

θ2 = δ = 56°

Therefore, angle θ2 at which the light leaves mirror 2 is 56°

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

A) the frequency and amplitude of the output voltag

Explanation:

Changing the speed of a synchronous generator changes both the output voltage (amplitude of the wave) and frequency as they tend to increase.

Changing the speed regulator will change the engine throttle setting to maintain the speed.

While the power, torque, current, fuel flow rate and torque angle will have decreased.

kari74 [83]

When the canoe leaked, the boat sank because it has a leak. The boat must have a strong base at its bottom to enable itself to float. If this is damaged, the water can now enter due to the hole thereby increasing the velocity of water coming in.

What is the significance of the fact that the gravitational constant, G, is a very small number and that Coulomb’s constant, k,
valina [46]
Both are constants used in the definition of Forces (gravitational and electric,respectively)

Since those constants are proportional to the magnitude of the forces:

Having a small gravitational constant explains why there is no apparent force of attraction with objects of considerable low mass (they would need to have great value of mass for the equation to give an apreciable force)

Electrical interactions are usually strong, and thus require an appropiate constant to depict the phenomenon. We deal in this case with charges really small, but the forces are in different order of magnitude.
