A 15 cm3 block of gold weighs 2.8 N. It is carefully submerged in a tank of mercury. One cm3 of mercury weighs 0.13 N.

The density of gold is  2.8 N / 15 = 0.18 units
The density of mercury is 0.13/1 = 0.13 units

Since the density of gold is more than density of mercury, it will sink.
Since the gold will sink, it will displace mercury, but less than its own volume

The area of the sprinkles can be determined through the area of a circle that is pi * r^2 in which the given dimensions above are the radii, r. The second scenarios radius is only half of the original, that is 4 ft. In this case, we can compute the area of the second again. We calculate next the difference of two areas of circles.

A trombone has a variable length. When a musician blows into the mouthpiece and causes air in the tube of the horn to vibrate, t
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

The frequency increases with a shorter horn <em>(Option B)</em>.

Explanation:

The length of the horn determines the distance along which the wave travels; simply called the wavelength. Therefore, a short horn tube will produce a short wavelength and vice versa.

Sound waves have various characteristics that define pitches in musical instruments and these characteristics are interdependent on each other.

in this case, the frequency and the frequency and the wavelength are related.

The relationship between the wavelength and its frequency is given as:

<em>    </em><em>c = f λ </em><em>  </em>

<em>where 'c' is the speed of sound through the instrument; 'f ' is the frequency and 'λ' is the wavelength.</em>

Let's assume that the speed at which the musician blows air into the mouthpiece remains constant, an increase in wavelength will cause a decrease in frequency. Conversely, as the tube of the horn becomes shorter the frequency increases.
