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

he waves set up by the vibrations reflect back and forth in the horn to create standing waves. As the length of horn is made shorter, what happens to the frequency?

Answer:

The frequency increases.

Explanation:

When the Musician draws the slide in the length of the horn gets shorter, which causes a decrease in the wavelength. A decrease in the wave length results in an increase in frequency.

Note:

The diameter of the horn has an effect on frequency, so a wider horn is effectively a long horn - open end correction ( distance between the the antinode and the open end of a pipe).

Frequency also depends on how hard the musician blows the trombone. The musician can change the frequency with the lip pressure being applied.

A boy kicked off a cliff and lands 151m away 45s later. What was the initial velocity? How tall is the cliff?
Mnenie [13.5K]
S = 1/2 g t^2 = 1/2 * 9.8 * 45^2 = 9922 m
That’s the height of the cliff

The original sideways velocity = 151/45 = 3.35 m/s

A battery establishes a voltage V on a parallel-plate capacitor. After the battery is disconnected, the distance between the pla
Semmy [17]

Answer:

In the parallel plate capacitor

The capacitance will decrease between the plates.

The voltage will increase between the plates.

Explanation:

When the distance between the plates increase, then the voltage also increases as it varies with the separation of plates. However the capacitance will decrease upon increasing the distance. As the capacitance depends upon the electric field between the plates. Field is stronger when the plates are closer so capacitance increase. Field will be weaker upon increasing the distance and hence the capacitance decreases.
