<span>
<span>When light bounces off an object, it either gets absorbed, or reflected. For example, light can get absorbed on surfaces which are black in color and they can reflect from flat surfaces such as a mirror. It all matters on the angle of incidence. The angle of incidence is also known as the angle of reflection.</span></span>

<span><span /></span><span> Angle of reflection = Angle of incidence</span>

<span /><span>T<span><span>he ray of light approaching the mirror is called the incident ray. The ray of light that leaves the mirror is called the reflected ray.   </span></span></span>

<span><span><span>Hope it helps </span> </span></span>

Frictional force is____of area of contact​
Elis [28]

Answer:

The force due to friction is generally independent of the contact area between the two surfaces. This means that even if you have two heavy objects of the same mass, where one is half as long and twice as high as the other one, they still experience the same frictional force when you drag them over the ground.

Explanation:

Independent

Uses of hydrometer in points​
Arisa [49]

Answer:

A hydrometer is an instrument used to determine specific gravity. It operates based on the Archimedes principle that a solid body displaces its own weight within a liquid in which it floats. Hydrometers can be divided into two general classes: liquids heavier than water and liquids lighter than water

A series AC circuit contains a resistor, an inductor of 150 mH, a capacitor of 5.00 mF, and a generator with DVmax 5 240 V opera
yanalaym [24]

Given:

Inductance, L = 150 mH

Capacitance, C = 5.00 mF

\Delta V_{max} = 240 V

frequency, f = 50Hz

I_{max} = 100 mA

Solution:

To calculate the parameters of the given circuit series RLC circuit:

angular frequency, \omega =  2\pi f = 2\pi \times50 = 100\pi

a). Inductive reactance,  X_{L} is given by:

\X_{L} = \omega L = 100\pi \times 150\times 10^{-3} = 47.12\Omega

X_{L} = 47.12\Omega 

b). The capacitive reactance,  X_{C} is given by:

\X_{C} = \frac{1}{\omega C} = \frac{1}{2\pi fC} = \frac{1}{2\pi \times 50\times 5.00\times 10^{-3}} = 0.636\Omega

X_{C} = 0.636\Omega

c). Impedance, Z = \frac{\Delta V_{max}}{I_{max}} = \frac{240}{100\times 10^{-3}} = 2400\Omega

Z = 2400\Omega

d). Resistance, R is given by:

Z = \sqrt {R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})}

2400^{2} = R^{2} + (47.12 - 0.636)^{2}

R = \sqrt {5757839.238}

R = 2399.5\Omega

e). Phase angle between current and the generator voltage is given by:

tan\phi = \frac{X_{L} - X_{C}}{R}

\phi =tan^{-1}( \frac{X_{L} - X_{C}}{R})

\phi =tan^{-1}( \frac{47.12 - 0.636}{2399.5}) = tan^{-1}{0.0.01937}

\phi = 1.11^{\circ}
