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 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.
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.

<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>

What is the hang time when the person moves 6 m horizontally during a 1.25 m high jump?
AlekseyPX

Answer:

1 sec

Explanation:

Horizontal distance (x) = 6m

Vertical distance (y) = 1.25m

Hang time is the duration the object is in the air before it reaches maximum height.

The time of free fall is given by

t = √2y/g

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = √(2*1.25)/9.8

t = √2.5/9.8

t = 0.5secs

Hang time = 2*0.5

= 1 sec

Read through the and calculate the predicted change in kinetic energy of the oblect compared to 50 kg ball traveling at 10 m/s .
Sliva [168]

Answer:

A 50 kg ball traveling at 20 m/s would have 4 times more kinetic energy.

A 50 kg ball traveling at 5 m/s would have 4 times less kinetic energy.

A 50 kg person falling at 10 m/s would have the same kinetic energy.
