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 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. B. 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. C. 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. D. 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. need asp

The "coefficient of absorption" of a soundproofing material is

the fraction of sound energy that goes into the material, gets

absorbed, doesn't come out, and is never heard again.


So, sample C would be the best choice, because the percentage

of the energy in an incident wave that gets absorbed in this material

is the greatest, and the percentage of the energy that remains in a

reflected wave from this material is the smallest. (Choice-B)

Hey, what is antimatter
jenyasd209 [6]
A antimatter is particle physics, antimatter is a material composed of the antiparticle "partners" to the corresponding particles of ordinary matter. A particle and its antiparticle have the same mass as one another, but opposite electric charge and other quantum numbers.

What work is done by the electric force when the charge moves a distance of 2.70 m at an angle of 45.0∘ downward from the horizo
Andreyy89

Incomplete question as many data is missing.I have assumed value of charge and electric field.The complete question is here

A charge of 28 nC is placed in a uniform electric field that is directed vertically upward and that has a magnitude of 5.00×10⁴ V/m.

What work is done by the electric force when the charge moves a distance of 2.70 m at an angle of 45.0 degrees  downward from the horizontal?

Answer:

W_{work}=2.67*10^{-3}J

Explanation:

Given data

Charge q=28 nC

Electric field E=5.00×10⁴ V/m.

Distance d=2.70 m

Angle α=45°

To find

Work done by electric force

Solution

W_{work}=F_{force}*D_{distance}Cos\alpha  \\where\\F_{force}=q_{charge}*E_{Electric-Field}\\So\\W_{work}=qE*D*Cos\alpha \\W_{work}=(28*10^{-9}C )(5.00*10^{4}V/m )(2.70m)Cos(45)\\W_{work}=2.67*10^{-3}J

A 63.3 kg wood board is resting on very smooth ice in the middle of a frozen lake. A 35.7 kg boy stands at one end of the board.
Vlada [557]

The velocity of the board relative to the ice is zero, since both are at rest.

<h3>What is relative velocity?</h3>

Relative velocity is the velocity of an object in relation to another reference object or point.

When two objects are travelling or moving with the same velocity in the same direction, the relative velocity one relative to the other is zero.

Also, when two objects are at rest, the relative velocity one relative to the other is zero.

Therefore, the velocity of the board relative to the ice is zero, since both are at rest.

A boy and a girl are on a spinning merry-go-round. The boy is at a radial distance of 1.2 m from the central axis; the girl is a
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

E) True. The girl has a larger tangential acceleration than the boy.

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask us to say which statement is correct, for this we propose the solution to the problem.

Angular and linear quantities are related

          v = w r

          a = α r

the boy's radius is r₁ = 1.2m the girl's radius is r₂ = 1.8m

as the merry-go-round rotates at a constant angular velocity this is the same for both, but the tangential velocity is different

          v₁ = w 1,2 (boy)

          v₂ = w 1.8 (girl)

whereby

          v₂> v₁

reviewing the claims we have

          a₁ = α 1,2

          a₂ = α 1.8

          a₂> a₁

A) False. Tangential velocity is different from zero

B) False angular acceleration is the same for both

C) False. It is the opposite, according to the previous analysis

D) False. Angular acceleration is equal

E) True. You agree with the analysis above,
