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 />

Which describes the average velocity of an ant traveling at a constant speed
yanalaym [24]

Answer: A. The total displacement divided by the time and  C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

Explanation:

Hi! The question seems incomplete, but I found the options on the internt:

A. The total displacement divided by the time.

B. The slope of the ant's acceleration vs. time graph.

C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.

D. The average acceleration divided by the time.

Now, since we know the ant is travelling at a constant speed, its average velocity V will be expressed by the following equation:

V=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

d is the ant's total displacement

t is the time it took to the ant to travel to the kitchen

Hence one of the correct options is: A. The total displacement divided by the time

On the other hand, this can be expressed by a displacement vs. time graph graph, where the slope of that line leads to the equation written above. So, the other correct option is: C. The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph.
