<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>

Que unidad de medida se utiliza para expresar la capacidad o volumen de un objeto? Da un ejemplo
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

<em>Explicado a continuación</em>

Explanation:

Hay una pequeña diferencia conceptual entre la capacidad y el volumen de un objeto, a saber:

El volumen hace referencia al espacio que ocupa un objeto, mientras que la capacidad hace referencia al espacio que este contiene. Calcular el volumen de un cuerpo es medir cuánto ocupa mientras que calcular su capacidad es medir cuánto cabe en él.

En la práctica, ambos conceptos son usados indistintamente, ya que tienen unidades equivalentes.

El volumen tiene unidades de longitud al cubo, como por ejemplo:

m^3,\ cm^3\ ,dm^3,\ pie^3\ , pulg^3

y la capacidad se suele expresar en litros o unidades derivadas: litro, mililitro, centilitro, etc.

Como mencionamos, hay equivalencia engre los dos grupos de unidades. Entre las más conocidas están:

1\ lt=1\ dm^3,\ 1\ m^3=1000\ lt

A hot-air balloon is floating above a straight road. To estimate their height above the ground, the balloonists simultaneously m
Karolina [17]

Answer:

3.1 miles

Explanation:

To solve this question it is important to remember that the distance between two mile markers is approximately 1 mile

Once this is known, the question becomes very easy to solve. We make two triangle, which have the following three points

Triangle 1: Hot-Air-Balloon, Ground, Milepost 1 - With angle of depression 20

Triangle 2: Hot-Air-Balloon, Ground, Milepost 2 - With angle of depression 18

As a reminder, the angle of depression is simply the angle the balloonist's head makes with the horizontal plane to be able to see the milepost.

From this we can simply drive two formulas using the Tan function

Equation 1 - Tan(90-18) = \frac{b+1}{h}

Equation 2 - Tan(90-20) = \frac{b}{h}

Solving them simultaneously we get the value of height (h) to be 3.0852 miles or 3.1 miles

Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. jack pulls eastward with a force of 92.5 n, jill pulls with 89.9 n in the
alekssr [168]
Jack------------ force of 92.5 n   eastward-------Fjack(X)=92.5 n   Fjack(Y)=0

<span>jill ------------------------------- force of 89.9 n   northeast
Fjill(X)=cos45*89.9=63.57 n
</span>Fjill(Y)=sin45*89.9=63.57 n<span>

</span>jane -----------------------------force of 163 n   southeast
Fjane(X)=cos45*163=115.26 n
Fjane(X)=-sin45*163=-115.26 n

Ftotal (X)=92.5+63.57+115.26=271.33 n
Ftotal (Y)=0+63.57-115.26=-51.69 n

Fotal=((271.33)^2+(-115.26)^2) ^0.5=294.80 n southeast

the magnitude of the net force the people exert on the donkey. is 294.80 n southeast

Why does changing the shape on an object have no affect on the density of that object?
