Which instrument produces the sound of a single frequency?

NO musical instrument produces a 'pure' tone with only a
single frequency in it.

EVERY instrument produces more or less harmonics (multiples)
in addition to the basic frequency it's playing.

The percussion instruments (drums etc) are the richest producers
of bunches of different frequencies.

Fuzzy electric guitars are next richest.

The strings and brass instruments are moderate producers of
harmonics ... I can't remember which is greater than the other.

Then come the woodwinds ... clarinet, oboe, etc.

The closest to 'pure' tones of single frequency are the sounds
made by the flute and piccolo, but even these are far from 'pure'.

The only way to get a true single-frequency sound is from an
electronic 'sine wave' generator.

A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 5.1 m/s, directed at an angle of 55° above the horizontal. The end of the ra
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer

given,

initial velocity of skateboard = 5.1 m/s

angle above the horizontal = 55°

height of the ramp = 1 m

a) maximum height of projectile

  H = \dfrac{u^2sin^2 \theta}{2g}

  H = \dfrac{5.1^2\times sin^2 55^0}{2\times 9.81}

         H =  0.889 m

the maximum height of the skateboard above the ground

         = 1 + 0.889

         = 1.889 m

b) time to reach the height

   t = \dfrac{u\ sin\theta}{g}

   t = \dfrac{5.1\ sin55^0}{9.8}

          t = 0.426 s

horizontal distance = u cos θ × t

                                = 5.1 × cos 55° × 0.426

horizontal distance = 1.25 m

How to calculate kinetic energy given mass and velocity
sashaice [31]

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.
