How to Explain and Diagram a Sound Instrument Project?

AI Thread Summary
To effectively explain and diagram a sound instrument project, it's essential to incorporate key wave vocabulary such as frequency, amplitude, and wavelength, tailored to the specific instrument being discussed. For a project involving metal cans, diagrams should illustrate how different sizes affect sound production, including concepts like standing waves and damping. In the case of a pan flute made from straws, diagrams should depict the relationship between straw length and pitch, highlighting how shorter straws produce higher frequencies. Hand-drawn illustrations can enhance understanding by visually representing these concepts. Clear explanations paired with accurate diagrams will fulfill the project requirements and demonstrate comprehension of sound principles.

So I have to make an instrument and write a report but I'm stuck on the report.
It says to
-Uses all the wave unit vocabulary correctly(things like frequency,amplitude,wavelength,type of waves etc.), at grade level, and specific to your instrument. eg. standing wave, damping
and
-Includes hand-drawn explanatory diagrams.
The project that I made was with metal cans of different size.
The other project that I made was a panflute made out of straws in different lengths
How would I explain it? What kind of diagrams should I include?

Thanks in advance

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
