A loudspeaker converts electrical energy into the kinetic energy of the speaker. This kinetic energy is transferred to air, and the motion of the air is the sound that people hear. An illustration of speaker with a wide arrow away from it labeled electrical energy 100 J and it splits into 3 arrows labeled sound energy 80 J, thermal energy ? J, and friction 5 J. How much thermal energy is put out by the speaker? 5 J 15 J 80 J 100 J

15 J

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a total of 100 J of energy being used which is then converted into sound energy, thermal energy, and friction. This means the total amount must equal 100 J.

1. Set up the equation

80 + x + 5 = 100

2. Simplify

x + 85 = 100

3. Solve for x by subtracting 85 from both sides

x = 15

step-by-step explanation:

6 + 24 = 30,   so 6/30 = .2  

if you do 1/5 it also equals .2, so that is the answer.
