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 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.
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 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.

The correct answer is Option 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.


As the coefficient of absorption would define the energy present in the reflected wave, the material C has the highest percentage of absorption i.e. 62% and would be best suitable to make a sound proof room.

Answer: Option 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.

Explanation:

The absorption coefficient of the samples is given. Sample A has 30%, Sample B has 47% and Sample C has 62%. This means that sample C absorbs the most percentage of energy incident on it. The energy in the reflected wave would be least. Hence, it would be best to use for a room to make it soundproof.

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

<span>KE = 1/2mv^2 = (1/2)(2000)(2^2) = 4000 J This must equal the net work acting on the car. W=Fd The net force is 1140-950= 190N. so, d=W/F = 4000/190 = 21.05 m</span>

Think about how geothermal energy is captured and used. Explain how geothermal energy shows the flow of thermal energy from hot
kumpel [21]

Answer:

People can capture geothermal energy through: Geothermal power plants, which use heat from deep inside the Earth to generate steam to make electricity. Geothermal heat pumps, which tap into heat close to the Earth's surface to heat water or provide heat for buildings

When the weather is cold, the water or refrigerant heats up as it travels through the part of the loop that's buried underground. Once it gets back above ground, the warmed water or refrigerant transfers heat into the building. The water or refrigerant cools down after its heat is transferred.

A 3.0-kg mass and a 5.0-kg mass hang vertically at the opposite ends of a very light rope that goes over an ideal pulley. If the
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

acceleration = 2.4525‬ m/s²

Explanation:

Data: Let m1 = 3.0 Kg, m2 = 5.0 Kg, g = 9.81 m/s²

Tension in the rope = T

Sol: m2 > m1

i) for downward motion of m2:

m2 a = m2 g - T

5 a = 5 × 9.81 m/s² - T  

⇒ T = 49.05‬ m/s² - 5 a     Eqn (a)‬

ii) for upward motion of m1

m a = T - m1 g

3 a = T - 3 × 9.8 m/s²

⇒ T =  3 a + 29.43‬ m/s²   Eqn (b)

Equating Eqn (a) and(b)

49.05‬ m/s² - 5 a = T =  3 a + 29.43‬ m/s²

49.05‬ m/s² - 29.43‬ m/s² = 3 a + 5 a

19.62 m/s² = 8 a

⇒ a = 2.4525‬ m/s²
