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 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 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.

The correct answer is A.

The coefficient of absorption of material A is 30%. So, the material will absorb 30% energy of the incident wave falling on it. Thus, the reflected wave will carry the rest 70% energy.

The coefficient of absorption of material B is 47%. So, the material will absorb 47% energy of the incident wave falling on it. Thus, the reflected wave will carry the rest 53% energy.

The coefficient of absorption of material C is 62%. So, the material will absorb 62% energy of the incident wave falling on it. Thus, the reflected wave will carry the rest 28% energy.

Hence, material C would be the best, because the percentage of the energy in an incident wave that remains in a reflected wave from this material is the smallest.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

d. This statement is false. She and the Space Station share the same orbit and will stay together unless they are pushed apart.

Explanation:

In astronomy, orbit is simply a path of an object around another object in a space. That is, orbit is a path of a body that revolves around a gravitating center of mass. Examples of an orbit is are satellite around a planet, orbit around a center of galaxy, planet around the sun, and among others.

On the other hand, space station refers to a spacecraft that can support a group of human for long time in the orbit. Another names for space stations are orbital space station and orbital station.

Therefore, an astronaut goes on a space walk outside the Space Station shares the same orbit with the space station and they will stay together unless they are pushed apart.

A well-thrown ball is caught in a well-padded mitt. If the deceleration of the ball is 2.10×10^{4} 4 m/s^{2} 2 , and 1.85 ms (1
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

Explanation:

given data:

acceleration = 2.10*10^4 m/s^2

time = 1.85*10^{-3} s

final velocity = 0 m/s

from equation of motion we have following relation

v = u +at

0 =  u + 2.10*10^4 *1.85*10^{-3}

0 = u + (21 *1.85)

0 = u + 38.85

u = - 38.85 m/s^-1

negative sign indicate that the ball bounce in opposite directon

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

The first flowering plants appeared in the Mesozoic era, not the Paleozoic era

Explanation:

The Mesozoic era is well known and most famous because of the rule of the dinosaurs which were the dominant animals for most of this are. Also, it is the era in which the mammals appeared, though they lived in the shadows of the dinosaurs and only became dominant after their extinction. Another important evolution that took place and is not mentioned very often is the appearance of the first flowering plants. This was a revolutionary trait for the plants, and it helped them to survive in the changing climate on Earth. Soon this trait enabled this type of plants to spread out significantly and to become one of the most dominant organisms on the planet in the following era.
