How Does a Loudspeaker's Cone Move in Simple Harmonic Motion?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the simple harmonic motion (SHM) of a loudspeaker cone vibrating at a frequency of 262 Hz with an amplitude of 1.5 x 10^-4 m. Participants are asked to derive the equation for the cone's motion, as well as to calculate its velocity and acceleration as functions of time. Additionally, they need to determine the position of the cone at t=1 ms. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding SHM principles to tackle these problems effectively. Assistance is offered for those struggling with the concepts.

Homework Statement



the cone of a loudspeaker vibrates in SHM at frequecy of 262Hz. the amplitude at the center of the cone is A=1.5X10^-4m and t=0 and x=A (amplitude).

1) what equation describes the motion of the center of the cone ?

2) what are the velocity and acceleration as a function of time ?

3) what is the position of the cone at t=1ms ?

thanks

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
