Which component of a loudspeaker produces sound waves? a solenoid coil a thin membrane a permanent magnet

zimovet [89]

Answer: A thin membrane.

Explanation:

When a sound signal is allowed to pass through the voice coil suspended between permanent magnet, magnetic field will be induced which will cause vibration in the diaphragm - a thin membrane causing disturbance of air in the surrounding of membranes which eventually produce sound waves.

Therefore, we can conclude that a thin membrane of the loud speaker produces sound waves

A car is traveling at 50 mi/h when the brakes are fully applied, producing a constant deceleration of 38 ft/s2. what is the dist

e-lub [12.9K]

Convert 38 ft/s^2 to mi/h^2. Then we se the conversion factor > 1 mile = 5280 feet and 1 hour = 3600 seconds.

So now we show it > $38 \frac{ft}{s^2} x \frac{1mi}{5280ft} x \frac{(3600s)^2}{(1h)^2} = 93272.27 \frac{mi}{h^2}$

Then we have to use the formula of constant acceleration to determine the distance traveled by the car before it ended up stopping.

Which the formula for constant acceleration would be > $v_2^2=v_1^2 + 2as$

The initial velocity is 50mi/h $(v_1=50)$

When it stops the final velocity is $(v_2=0)$

Since the given is deceleration it means the number we had gotten earlier would be a negative so a = -93272.27

Then we substitute the values in....

$0^2 = 50^2 + 2(-93272.27)s

0 = 2500 - 186544.54s

Isolate S next.

185644.54s= 2500

s = 2500/(185644.54)

s=0.0134
$

So we can say the car stopped at 0.0134 miles before it came to a stop but to express the distance traveled in feet we need to use the conversion factor of 1 mile = 5280 feet in otherwards > $0.0134 mi * \frac{5280ft}{1mi} = 70.8 ft$
So this means that the car traveled in feet 70.8 ft before it came to a stop.

What are two ways an engineer can build a car in order for it to accelerate faster

Ket [755]

Explanation:

Take F=ma

a = F/m

For a higher, F higher or m lower

Means higher horse power for engine or lower mass for the car

In order to open the clam it catches, a seagull will drop the clam repeatedly onto a hard surface from high in the air until the

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

2.2 s

Explanation:

Hi!

Let's consider the origin of the coordinate system at the ground, and consider that the clam starts with zero velocity, the equation of motion of the clam is given by

$x(t) = 23.1 m - \frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2) t^2$

We are looking for a time t for which x(t) = 0

$0 = 23.1 m - (4.9 m/s^2) t^2$

Solving for t:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{23.1}{4.9}} s = 2.17124 s$

Rounding at the first decimal:

t = 2.2 s

andrezito [222]

Answer:

The equivalent or total resistance of the circuit is 6

Explanation:

6 &6 are in series

6+6=r

r= 12

1/Rtotal= 1/12+1/2

1/Rt=2/12=1/6
