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.

Which BEST describes the physical properties of the Earth’s core?
Sonja [21]

C) a solid lower part and a liquid upper part

Explanation:

The physical nature of the earth's core is made up of a solid lower part and a liquid upper part.

The core is the innermost part of the earth and it is made up of metallic minerals.

  • It has the highest temperature and pressure of all the layers of the earth.
  • The core is divided into two. Outer and inner core.
  • Outer core is made up of molten metallic minerals. It is the layer where the earth geomagnetic field originates.
  • The inner core is solid metallic ball.
  • Evidence from seismic waves has furnished geoscientists with this knowledge.

A person pushes a 10 kg box from rest and accelerates it to a speed of 4 m/s with a constant force. If the box is pushed for a t
lutik1710 [3]

The box is accelerated from rest to 4 m/s in a matter of 2.5 s, so its acceleration <em>a</em> is such that

4 m/s = <em>a</em> (2.5 s)   →   <em>a</em> = (4 m/s) / (2.5 s) = 1.6 m/s²

Then the force applied to the box has a magnitude <em>F</em> such that

<em>F</em> = (10 kg) (1.6 m/s²) = 16 N
