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 particle undergoes a constant acceleration of 3.90 m/s2. After a certain amount of time, its velocity is 12.2 m/s. (Where appl
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

s_{f} = 14.312 m

Explanation:

Since the particle is experimenting a constant acceleration, the displacement can be found by using this formula:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2 \cdot a \cdot (s_{f} - s_{o})

Since s_{o} = 0 m, the equation is simplified to this form:

v_{f}^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2 \cdot a \cdot s_{f}

Then, the displacement is now isolated:

s_{f} = \frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{o}^{2}}{2 \cdot a}

Terms are replaced herein:

s_{f} = \frac{(12.2 \frac{m}{s})^{2}-(6.1 \frac{m}{s})^{2}}{2 \cdot (3.90 \frac{m}{s^{2}}) } \\s_{f} = 14.312 m

Why does carpet tend to produce differences in static electricity more that hardwood or tile floors
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

This is because the rubbing releases negative charges, called electrons, which can build up on one object to produce a static charge. For example, when you shuffle your feet across a carpet, electrons can transfer onto you, building up a static charge on your skin.

Explanation:

This is because the rubbing releases negative charges

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

θ = 41.8º

Explanation:

This is an internal total reflection exercise, the equation that describes this process is

         sin θ = n₂ / n₁

where n₂ is the index of the incident medium and n₁ the other medium must be met n₁> n₂

        θ = sin⁻¹ n₂ / n₁

let's calculate

       θ = sin⁻¹ (1.00 / 1.50)

       θ = 41.8º
