I think it would be yes because the drum is submerged in water and the water would slow the sound waves, making the sound softer. Right?
To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Gravitational Potential Energy.
Gravitational potential energy can be defined as

As M=m, then

Where,
m = Mass
G =Gravitational Universal Constant
R = Distance /Radius
PART A) As half its initial value is u'=2u, then



Therefore replacing we have that,

Re-arrange to find v,



Therefore the velocity when the separation has decreased to one-half its initial value is 816m/s
PART B) With a final separation distance of 2r, we have that

Therefore




Therefore the velocity when they are about to collide is 
<span>Technician a says that to prevent injuries in an auto accident, all steering columns have a break-off steering wheel. technician b says that to prevent injuries in an accident, all steering columns are now fitted with a flexible rubber tube. Both technicians are correct. The </span>vehicle manufacturers use break away steering column mounting brackets to protect the driver in an accident. The <span>vehicle manufacturers are required to use collapsible shafts in the steering column. </span>
Answer:
2. mechanical weathering can produce smaller pieces of rock that have more surface area for chemical weathering to work Explanation:
Mechanical weathering involves activities of living organisms or some geological processes. The bigger rocks are usually reduced to smaller rocks and further reduction might be limited or not posibble mechanically. This reduced rocks now increases the surface area available for chemical weathering; which further reduces the sizes of the rocks below the size range of mechanical weathering. one will recall that the rate of chemical reaction increases with exposed surface area.
