I NEED HELP PLEASE, THANKS! :) If a musical instrument such as a trumpet or flute is “flat”, should the pipe be lengthened or shortened?

Shortened

Explanation:

A longer pipe will have a longer wavelength, and therefore a lower frequency.

A shorter pipe will have a shorter wavelength, and therefore a higher frequency.

A "flat" note has a low frequency, so the pipe should be shortened.

The same phenomenon can be demonstrated with guitar strings.  The longer the string, the lower the pitch.

as a general rule, scissors have blades less than 6 in (15 cm) long and usually have handles with finger holes of the same size. shears have blades scissors used to cut hair or fabric must be much sharper

can be answered using momentum.

momentum = p

p1= mass1 * velocity1

p1 = p2

therefore

p1 = 6kg * 4m/s

p1 = 24kgm/s

p2=m2 * v2

24 kgm/s = 7kg * v2

v2 = 24 kgm/s / 7kg

v2= 3.42 m/s
