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 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 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.
 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 smallest.

The correct option is D.
Sound proofing is usually achieved by using materials that absorbed or reduce sounds. Different materials are used in sounding proofing and these differ in their abilities to absorb or reduce sounds. The coefficient of absorption of a material refers to that material ability to absorb sound. The higher the percentage of a material absorption coefficient, the better the material's ability to absorb sound. Thus, in the question given above, the material with 62% absorption coefficient have the greatest ability of the three materials to absorb sound effectively. <span />

Equation of uniformly accelerated motion​
Romashka [77]

This means acceleration a is constant.

Let

a) vo be the initial speed, at t=0

b) v be the final speed after time t

c) d distance travelled in time t

Then we have:

a) v=vo+a×t

b) v²=vo²+2×a×d (Galilei's equation)

c) d=vo×t+a×t²/2

d) average speed vm=(vo+v)/2

A boxer throws a punch with a force of 1,400 N that lasts 0.02 s. What is the impulse of this punch? (1 point) 28 kg⋅m/s 28 kilo
Musya8 [376]

The impulse of the boxers punch is 28 kgm/s.

The given parameters;

  • <em>applied force by the boxer, F = 1400 N</em>
  • <em>time of force action, t = 0.02 s</em>

<em />

The impulse of the boxers punch is calculated as follows;

J = Ft

where;

  • <em>F is the applied force (N)</em>
  • <em>t is the time of force action (s)</em>

The magnitude of the impulse is calculated as follows;

J = 1400 \times 0.02 \\\\J = 28 \ kg m/s

Thus, the impulse of the boxers punch is 28 kgm/s.

A 44.6 kg ice skater is moving at 5.14 m/s when she grabs the loose end of a rope, the opposite end of which is tied to a pole.
hodyreva [135]
This question is asking the force on the rope. We can find this by using centripetal acceleration, then multiply by the ice skater's mass.

First we need to find the centripetal acceleration, which is a = v^2/r

We are given v and r, so we solve for a.

a = [(5.14m/s)^2]/(0.525m) = 50.323 m/s^2

Next multiply by the ice skater's mass (because F=ma) which is 44.6 kg

We then get F = (50.323m/s^2)(44.6kg) = 2244.407924N

Divide by 10^3 to get kN, we get:

2.244kN

Hope this helps!

In this example we will see how a transformer can be used to change the voltage output of a wall receptacle. A friend returns fr
Burka [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to use a device rated for use in 240 volt for use in 120 V , we have to use a step down transformer . In step down transformer no of turn in secondary coil is less than that in primary coil .

For transformer the relation is as follows

V₂ / V₁  = N₂ / N₁ = turn ratio

Where V₂ and V₁ are volts in secondary and primary coil and N₂ and N₁ is no of turns in secondary and primary coil.

Here V₂ = 120V , V₁ = 240 V

turn ratio = N₂ / N₁ = V₂ / V₁  = 120 / 240 = .5

turn ratio = .5 .
