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.

By how much will the velocity of a vehicle change if it accelerates at 10 m/s/s for a period of 10 seconds​
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explanation:

we know that the time rate of change of velocity is called acceleration mathmetically;

a=Δv/Δt

Δv=a*Δt

a=10 m/s²

t=10 sec

Δv=10*10=100 m/s

. Orbit of a satellite It is advantageous to place communications satellites in a circular orbit so that their position is fixed
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

a) r = 4.22 10⁷ m, b)  v = 3.07 10³ m / s  and c)  a = 0.224 m / s²

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we will use Newton's second law where acceleration is centripetal and force is gravitational force

     F = m a

     a = v² / r

     F = G m M / r²

    G m M / r² = m v² / r

    G M / r = v²

The squared velocity is a scalar and this value is constant, so let's use the uniform motion relationships

     v = d / t

As the orbit is circular the distance is the length of the circle in 24 h time

     d = 2π r

     t = 24 h (3600 s / 1 h) = 86400 s

Let's replace

     G M / r = (2π r / t)²

     G M = 4 π² r³ / t²

     r = ∛(G M t² / (4π²)

     r = ∛( 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ 86400² / (4π²)) = ∛( 75.4 10²¹)

     r = 4.22 10⁷ m

b) the speed module is

    v = √G M / r

    v = √(6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴/ 4.22 10⁷

    v = 3.07 10³ m / s

c) the acceleration is

    a = G M / r²

    a = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ / (4.22 10⁷)²

    a = 0.224 m / s²
