Answer:

15m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 10m/s

Final velocity = 40m/s

Time taken = 2s

Unknown:

Average acceleration = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time;

Acceleration = $\frac{Final velocity - Initial velocity }{time}$

Acceleration = $\frac{40 - 10}{2}$ = 15m/s²

What Converts sound to a signal in a telephone

Irina-Kira [14]

The part you talk into, that converts the sound of your voice
into an electrical signal, is a tiny microphone.

-- The sound waves from your voice are ripples in the air.

-- In most microphones, there's a tiny coil of wire hanging
between the ends of a tiny magnet.

-- When the ripples in the air hit the little coil of wire, they
make it vibrate (wiggle) slightly.

-- When a coil of wire wiggles in the field of a magnet,
a current flows in the wire.

There's your electrical signal !

Two point charges are fixed on the y axis: a negative point charge q1 = -25 μC at y1 = +0.18 m and a positive point charge q2 at

dedylja [7]

Answer:

$50.91 \mu C$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the net force exerted on q is known, we have the values and positions for $q_{1}$ and q. So, making use of coulomb's law, we can calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by $q_{1}$ on q. Then we can know the magnitude of the force exerted by $q_{2}$ about q, finally this will allow us to know the magnitude of $q_{2}$
