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.

A thin insulating rod is bent into a semicircular arc of radius a, and a total electric charge Q is distributed uniformly along
storchak [24]

Answer:

v = \frac{kQ}{a}  

Explanation:

We define the linear density of charge as:

\lambda = \frac{Q}{L}

     Where L is the rod's length, in this case the semicircle's length L = πr

The potential created at the center by an differential element of charge is:

dv = \frac{kdq}{r}

          where k is the coulomb's constant

                     r is the distance from dq to center of the circle

Thus.

v = \int_{}^{}\frac{kdq}{a}  

v = \frac{k}{a}\int_{}^{}dq

v = \frac{kQ}{a}     Potential at the center of the semicircle

Two resistors have resistances R1= ( 24+- 0.5)ohm and R2 = (8 +-0.3)ohm . Calculate the absolute error and the percentage relati
zysi [14]

Answer:

Absolute error=0.006

Percentage Relative error=0.6

Explanation:

The resistors have resistance of 24 ohm and 8 ohm.

The change in resistance is 0.5 and 0.3 ohm respectively.

Relative error for parallel combination of resistors is

= dR/R²

= dR1/R1² + dR2/R2²

= 0.5/(24)² + 0.3/(8)²

= 0.5/ 24*24 + 0.3/ 64

= 0.5/576+0.3/ 64

= 32 + 172.8/ 36,864

=204.8/ 36,864=0.0055

=0.006

Percentage error =Relative error *100

= 0.006* 100 = 0.6

A box with a mass of 100.0 kg slides down a ramp with a 50 degree angle. What is the weight of the box? N What is the value of t
nadya68 [22]

1) weight of the box: 980 N

The weight of the box is given by:

W=mg

where m=100.0 kg is the mass of the box, and g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity. Substituting in the formula, we find

W=(100.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=980 N


2) Normal force: 630 N

The magnitude of the normal force is equal to the component of the weight which is perpendicular to the ramp, which is given by

N=W cos \theta

where W is the weight of the box, calculated in the previous step, and \theta=50^{\circ} is the angle of the ramp. Substituting, we find

N=(980 N)(cos 50^{\circ})=630 N


3) Acceleration: 7.5 m/s^2

The acceleration of the box along the ramp is equal to the component of the acceleration of gravity parallel to the ramp, which is given by

a_p = g sin \theta

Substituting, we find

W_p = (9.8 m/s^2)(sin 50^{\circ})=7.5 m/s^2
