AI Thread Summary
The resonator of a trumpet refers to the part that vibrates at its resonant frequency, primarily influencing the instrument's sound. There is a debate regarding whether the resonator is the air inside the tube or the tubes themselves. It is generally accepted that the air within the instrument plays a significant role in sound production. Wind instruments, including trumpets, rely heavily on the air column for resonance. Understanding this concept is essential for grasping how trumpets and similar instruments produce sound.

The Attempt at a Solution


my friend said it was the air inside the tube, but I thought it was the tubes.

thanks

I would imagine you could look this up somewhere... (for wind instruments in general, I've heard that it's the air that is most responsible for the sound, but I couldn't cite you a source off the top of my head)
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

Thread 'A bead-mass oscillatory system problem'

I can't figure out how to find the velocity of the particle at 37 degrees. Basically the bead moves with velocity towards right let's call it v1. The particle moves with some velocity v2. In frame of the bead, the particle is performing circular motion. So v of particle wrt bead would be perpendicular to the string. But how would I find the velocity of particle in ground frame? I tried using vectors to figure it out and the angle is coming out to be extremely long. One equation is by work...
