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.
Protons, neutrons and electrons. Both protons and neutrons have a mass of 1 amu and are found in the nucleus. However, protons have a charge of +1, and neutrons are uncharged. Electrons have a mass of approximately 0 amu, orbit the the nucleus, and have a charge of -1.
Answer:
12 N/cm²
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Weight (W) of block = 240 N
Area (A) = 20 cm²
Pressure (P) =?
Next, we shall determine the force exerted by the block. This can be obtained as follow:
Weight (W) of block = 240 N
Force (F) =.?
Weight and force has the same unit of measurement. Thus, we force applied is equivalent to the weight of the block. Thus,
Force (F) = Weight (W) of block = 240 N
Force (F) = 240 N
Finally, we shall determine the pressure on the floor as follow:
Force (F) = 240 N
Area (A) = 20 cm²
Pressure (P) =?
P = F/A
P = 240 / 20
P = 12 N/cm²
Therefore, the pressure on the floor is 12 N/cm².
