Sis forSpeaker

A speaker, or loudspeaker, is a device that converts electrical signals into sound. They do this by using that electrical signal to vibrate a cone-shaped device at particular frequencies that are encoded by the signal, which produces sound. Larger cones are better at making low sounds, smaller ones are better at making high sounds.

Sis forSpear

A spear is one of the oldest weapons. It is essentially a long, pointed stick that you throw at people or animals. More modern spears had bronze or iron tips, which both made them easier to throw and more likely to damage the target.
