Pitch is the impression the listener gets of the <em>frequency</em> of the sound.

The speed of the sound is <em>not</em> related to its pitch/frequency.

If the speed and frequency were related, that would be a real problem. Bands, orchestras, and choirs could not exist ! All the instruments in the orchestra could play a note together, at the same time. But then the higher instruments ... the flute, trumpet, violins, high guitar strings and high piano keys ... would travel to you fast, and the lower instruments ... the trombone, tuba, double bass, bass drum, low guitar strings and the low piano keys ... would travel to you slow. They all played the note at the same time, but by the time you heard it, it would be all smeared out ... every instrument arriving at your ear at a different time !

Answer:

Absolute pressure of the oil will be 102822.8 Pa

Explanation:

We have given height h = 31 cm = 0.31 m

Acceleration due to gravity $g=9.8m/sec^2$

Specific gravity of oil = 0.600

So density of oil $\rho =0.6\times 1000=600kg/m^3$

We know that absolute pressure is given by $P=P_0+\rho gh$ , here $P_0=1.01\times 10^5Pa$

So absolute pressure will be equal to $P=1.01\times 10^5+600\times 9.8\times 0.31=102822.8Pa$

So absolute pressure of the oil will be 102822.8 Pa

The number of cycles of a periodic wave per unit time is called the waves?

meriva

The number of cycles of a periodic wave per unit time is called the wave's "frequency". The height at which the peaks of the waves reside is the "amplitude".

How many paths do the electrons have to flowlin a series circuit?

AleksandrR [38]

One path because in a series circuit it is only one path while in a parallel circuit you have 2 or more. Our houses use parallel so that is why you can turn off one light and the rest would stay on.
