Your boss asks you to design a room that can be as soundproof as possible and provides you with three samples of material. the only 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 smallest. c. 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. 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 smallest.

Aneutron and a proton combine to form a nucleus. why does the mass of the nucleus differ from the sum of the masses of the individual nucleons?

Simple machines can a. increase force only b. decrease force only c. increase or decrease force

When temperature of a substance increases, of its particles increase resulting in more between particles. real world applications of thermal expansion absolute zero (-273 degrees c) is the lowest possible temperature on the kelvin scale. it is a measure of where a substance has no kinetic energy. heat is a process of the . energy flows spontaneously from a object to a until equilibrium is reached. heat is measured in heat is transferred throughis a method of heat transfer that occurs between particles of matter that are in direct contact with each other. are poor conductors that impede / reduce the rate of heat transfer. is a method of heat transfer that occurs in fluids (non-solids) by means of currents. real world application of convectiona method of heat transfer through electromagnetic waves. when energy moves from one object to another inside a closed system, no energy is or in the system in the transaction. systems will spontaneously move to a state of organized energy or high disorder over time called
