<span>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
smallest.
The coefficient of absorption is the percentage of incident sound
that's absorbed. So the highest coefficient of absorption results in
the smallest </span><span>percentage of the energy in an
incident wave that remains.
That's what you want. </span>
Answer:
a) 42 m/s, positive direction (to the east), b) 42 m/s, negative direction (to the west).
Explanation:
a) Let consider that Car A is moving at positive direction. Then, the relative velocity of Car A as seen by the driver of Car B is:

42 m/s, positive direction (to the east).
b) The relative velocity of Car B as seen by the drive of Car A is:

42 m/s, negative direction (to the west).
You have to add 1.7 and 2.2 together!
1.7+2.2=3.9μF
