many musical instruments use "boxes" as a part of an instrument. Some examples are acoustic guitars and pianos. From your experi

ence in this lab on building your own musical instrument, write a brief essay on the purpose of these "boxes". Include description of a xylophone and what is uses of for the purpose of the box.

Answer :

Essay on Sound instruments/sound boxes:

Musical instruments also some times called <em>"sound box"</em>,  because the box modifies the sound of an instrument. It also helps in transfer of sound to the surrounding air.

The box is the open chamber in the body of musical instrument

The sound box responds more strongly to vibrations at certain frequencies created by playing instrument. This phenomena is known as resonance.

The resonance impacts on the tone quality.

For example <em>xylophone</em>, which is a musical instrument with wooden bars. These wooden bars are arranged similar to the piano. under each bar of the xylophone there is a resonator tube, which amplifies the sound.

Nady [450]

(a) +9.30 kg m/s

The impulse exerted on an object is equal to its change in momentum:

I= \Delta p = m \Delta v = m (v-u)

where

m is the mass of the object

\Delta v is the change in velocity of the object, with

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

For the volleyball in this problem:

m = 0.272 kg

u = -12.6 m/s

v = +21.6 m/s

So the impulse is

I=(0.272 kg)(21.6 m/s - (-12.6 m/s)=+9.30 kg m/s

(b) 155 N

The impulse can also be rewritten as

I=F \Delta t

where

F is the force exerted on the volleyball (which is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the volleyball on the fist of the player, according to Newton's third law)

\Delta t is the duration of the collision

In this situation, we have

\Delta t = 0.06 s

So we can re-arrange the equation to find the magnitude of the average force:

F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}=\frac{9.30 kg m/s}{0.06 s}=155 N

Sergio [31]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

u = 0, h = 10 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

Use third equation of motion

v^2 = u^2 + 2 g h

Here, v be the velocity of ball as it just strikes with the ground

v^2 = 0 + 2 x 9.8 x 10

v^2 = 196

v = 14 m/s

Answer:

Telescope

Explanation:

Telescope is usually defined as an optical instrument that is commonly used to observe the objects in a magnified way that are located at a large distance from earth. These telescopes are comprised of lenses and curved mirrors that are needed to be arranged in a proper way in order to have a prominent look. It is commonly used by the astronomers.

This was first constructed by Hans Lippershey in the year 1608.

Anna35 [415]
As the first astronaut throws the ball, lets assume it goes with v velocity and the mass of the ball be m
the momentum comes out be mv, thus to conserve that momentum the astronaut will move opposite to the direction of the ball's motion with the velocity mv/M (where M is the mass of the astronaut).
