After a long night of cramming for a test, your college room-mate hits his head forcefully against the wall of your room in desp

air. According to Newton’s 3rd Law, as he exerts a force against the wall, there must be an equal and opposite force. How does that opposite force show itself in this case?

Answer: the wall contracts the force exerted by his head. The wall produces the opposite force which is equal to the force his head bangs the wall with.

Explanation: if his head exerts a much greater force than the wall can counteract the wall will be destroyed, if the wall exerts a much greater force than his head exerts he will be pushed far back and might even suffer a broken head.

The wall in this case provides the opposite reactive force.

Answer:

(A) Impulse = 9Ns

(B) F = 1286N

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum = m(v-u)

v = 0 (the hand comes to a stop)

u = -10m/s

Mass = 0.9kg

Impulse = 0.9 ×(0- (-10))

= 9Ns

(B) F×t = Impulse

F = Impulse/ t

t = 7ms = 7×10-³

F = 9/ (7×10-³)

F = 1286N.

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
ivolga24 [154]

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.
