Your boss asks you to design a room that can be as soundproof as possible and provides you with three samples of material. The o

nly information on each sample's label is the material's coefficient of absorption. The coefficient of absorption listed on Sample A is 30%, on Sample B is 47%, and on Sample C is 62%. When your boss asks for your choice and the reasoning behind it, what would you tell him?
A. Sample A would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.
B. Sample A would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the largest.
C. Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.
D. Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the largest.

The correct answer is Option C) Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.


As the coefficient of absorption would define the energy present in the reflected wave, the material C has the highest percentage of absorption i.e. 62% and would be best suitable to make a sound proof room.

Answer: Option C: Sample C would be best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.

Explanation:

The absorption coefficient of the samples is given. Sample A has 30%, Sample B has 47% and Sample C has 62%. This means that sample C absorbs the most percentage of energy incident on it. The energy in the reflected wave would be least. Hence, it would be best to use for a room to make it soundproof.

A factory emits pollutants at a rate of 25 g/s. The factory is located between two mountain ranges resulting in an effective val
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3

Explanation:

v = Velocity of the breeze = 4 m/s

w = Width of the valley = 5000 m

h = Height of the valley = 1000 m

Volumetric flow rate is given by

\dot{V}=vwh\\\Rightarrow \dot{V}=4\times 5000\times 1000\\\Rightarrow \dot{V}=2\times10^{7}\ \text{m}^3/\text{s}

\dot{m} = Mass flow rate of pollutant = 25 g/s = 25\times 10^6\ \mu\text{g/s}

Concentration is given by

C=\dfrac{\dot{m}}{\dot{V}}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{25\times 10^6}{2\times 10^7}\\\Rightarrow C=1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3

The steady state concentration of pollutants in the valley, is 1.25\ \mu\text{g/m}^3.

The inductive reactance of the circuit is exactly twice the resistance: XL=2R. Adjust the phasor that represents the voltage acr
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

∅=63.43^{0}

Explanation:

z=impedance

x_{l}=2R

R=R

The resultant of the resistances in the circuit is called impedance

x_{l} is inductive reactance of the circuit

R is the resistance of the resistor

z=\sqrt{xl^{2}+R^2 }

z=\sqrt{2R^{2}+R^2 }

Z=\sqrt{5R^2}

Z=R\sqrt{5}ohms

tan∅=2R/R

tan∅=2

∅=Tan^-1(2)

∅=63.43^{0}

phase angle is ∅=63.43^{0}

numerical question : what is the required heat to raise the temperature of 2 kg parrafin by 10 Celsius if 44000 joules is requir
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The heat energy required is, E = 2200 J

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of paraffin, m = 2 Kg

The energy required to raise the temperature of the paraffin by 200° C = 44000 J

Then the heat energy required to raise the temperature of the paraffin by 10° C is given by,

Since 44000 J raises temperature by 200° C, then

                              E = 44000 J / 20

                                 = 2200 J

Hence, the energy required to raise the temperature of the paraffin by 10° C is, E = 2200 J

Help awnser need experts​
pishuonlain [190]

12. The answer would be C. 1.50 s. This is because if you divide 60 by 40, you will get 1.5.

13. For this one I'm not sure, but what I can tell you is that the heavier something is the faster it will sink, the lighter it is, it will float.
