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)

Can something have energy without having momentum? explain. can something have momentum without having energy? defend your answe
marta [7]
Momentum  is a product mass and velocity. If a certain object posses a kinetic energy, then it should have a momentum since it is moving which has a velocity. However, if the object is at rest and only has potential energy, then it would not have momentum. So, for the first question the answer would be yes, an object can have energy without having any momentum. For the second question, every object whether it is moving or at rest, possess some energy, potential for an object at rest and kinetic for an object that is moving. Thus, the answer would be no, an object having momentum would always have energy.

What are the assumptions on which the cosmological principle is based?.
prisoha [69]
Homogeneity and isotropy, On large enough scales, the Universe looks pretty much the same in all directions. The big bang theory is based on two assumptions: the first is centered around Einstein's general theory of relativity, which accurately describes gravity and the interactions of matter; and the second, also known as the cosmological principle, asserts that the universe is homogeneous and isotropic on a large enough scale.

Hope this helps!

a 150 N force is used to pull a wooden box across a wooden surface at a constant velocity. what is the mass of the box?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The mass of the box:

m =  60 kg

Explanation:

Given:

F = 150 N

g = 10 m/s²

_________

m - ?

Coefficient of friction wood on wood:

μ = 0.25

Friction force:

F₁ = μ*m*g

Newton's Third Law:

F = F₁

F = μ*m*g

The mass of the box:

m = F / ( μ*g) = 150 / (0.25*10) =  60 kg

Clay Matthews, a linebacker for the Green Bay Packers, can reach a speed of 10.0 m/s. At the start of a play, Matthews runs down
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

a)   D_ total = 18.54 m,   b)        v = 6.55 m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we must find the displacement of the player.

a) Let's start with the initial displacement, d = 8 m at a 45º angle, use trigonometry to find the components

           sin 45 = y₁ / d

           cos 45 = x₁ / d

           y₁ = d sin 45

           x₁ = d sin 45

           y₁ = 8 sin 45 = 5,657 m

           x₁ = 8 cos 45 = 5,657 m

The second offset is d₂ = 12m at 90 of the 50 yard

            y₂ = 12 m

            x₂ = 0

total displacement

          y_total = y₁ + y₂

          y_total = 5,657 + 12

          y_total = 17,657 m

          x_total = x₁ + x₂

          x_total = 5,657 + 0

          x_total = 5,657 m

          D_total =   17.657 i^+ 5.657 j^  m

          D_total = Ra (17.657 2 + 5.657 2)

          D_ total = 18.54 m

b) the average speed is requested, which is the offset carried out in the time used

           v = Δx /Δt

the distance traveled using the pythagorean theorem is

         r = √ (d1² + d2²)

          r = √ (8² + 12²)

          r = 14.42 m

The time used for this shredding is

         t = t1 + t2

         t = 1 + 1.2

         t = 2.2 s

let's calculate the average speed

         v = 14.42 / 2.2

         v = 6.55 m / s

The musical tone a piano has a frequency of 346HZ and a wavelength of 1.3 M what is the speed of the sound
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

v= 449.8 m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Frequency=  346Hz

Wave length= 1.4m

The expression below is used to find the speed

v= f \lambda\\\\

substitute

v= 346*1.3\\\\v= 449.8 m/s

Hence the speed is v= 449.8 m/s
