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?
a)The frequency will increase or decrease depending on how hard the horn player blows.

b)The frequency will increase

c)The frequency will decrease

d)The frequency will increase or decrease depending on the diameter of the horn.

e)The frequency will remain same

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.

A hunter aims at a deer which is 40 yards away. Her cross- bow is at a height of 5ft, and she aims for a spot on the deer 4ft ab
shutvik [7]

Answer:

a)  θ₁ = 0.487º , b)   t = 0.400 s ,        x = 11.73 ft

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the projectile launch relationships.

The initial height is I = 5 ft and the final height y = 4 ft

            y = y₀ + v_{oy} t - ½ g t²

The distance to the band is x = 40 yard (3 ft / 1 yard) = 120 ft

            x = v₀ₓ t

            t = x / v₀ₓ

We replace

             y –y₀ = v_{oy} x / v₀ₓ - ½ g x² / v₀ₓ²

             v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

             v₀ₓ = vo cos θ

             

             y –y₀ = x tan θ - ½ g x² / v₀² cos² θ

                5-4 = 120 tan θ - ½ 32 120 / (300 2 cos2 θ)

                1 = 120 tan θ - 0.0213 sec² θ

Let's use the trigonometry relationship

               Sec² θ = 1 - tan² θ

                 1 = 120 tan θ - 0.0213 (1 –tan²θ)

                 0.0213 tan²θ + 120 tanθ -1.0213 = 0

                 

We change variables

          u = tan θ

          u² + 5633.8 u - 48.03 = 0

We solve the second degree equation

          u = [-5633.8 ±√(5633.8 2 + 4 48.03)] / 2

          u = [- 5633.8 ± 5633.82] / 2

           u₁ = 0.0085

           u₂= -5633.81

           u = tan θ

           θ = tan⁻¹ u

For u₁

           θ₁ = tan⁻¹ 0.0085

           θ₁ = 0.487º

For u₂

           θ₂ = -89.99º

The launch angle must be 0.487º

b) let's look for the time it takes for the arrow to arrive

         x = v₀ₓ t

         t = x / v₀ cos θ

         

         t = 120 / (300 cos 0.487)

         t = 0.400 s

The deer must be at a distance of

           v = 20 mph (5280 ft / 1 mi) (1 h / 3600s) = 29.33 ft / s

           x = v t

           x = 29.33 0.4

           x = 11.73 ft

What is a fixed volume
nasty-shy [4]

A fixed volume is where either a solid or liquid has a volume that is constant under the same pressure and temperature. A gas cannot have a fixed volume because it changes by itself without any human interaction.

Best of Luck!
