How the slide of a trombone changes the pitch of sound?
The pitch is changed on a Trombone by moving the slide or changing your ombisture.
What is the purpose a non melodic instrument?
Sound is produced by a vibrating skin or membrane in a percussion instrument. The pitch is altered ( to a certain extend ) by increasing or decreasing the tension in a membrane. In the case of flute air is pushed into it by the mouth. The air column starts to vibrate at the same frequency as of the lips. Changing the length of the vibrating column changes the pitch.
What instruments you can make which is related to physics?
The flute is related to the physics of a vibrating column of air. The violin is related to the physics of a vibrating length of string, and the resonance of a sound box. In a drum the membrane vibrates which in turn produces sound. If I walked through an orchestra pit I'm sure I could find other instruments related to physics.
What is a Boomwhacker?
Boomwhackers are light weight, hollow plastic tubes that come in different colors that are tuned to musical pitches by length. Boomwhackers are musical instruments in the percussion family.
What property distinguishes notes played on both a trumpet and a clarinet if they have the same pitch and loudness?
The property is call timbre, and different timbres are cause primarily by the inclusion of additional pitches above the note being played. All instruments, other than some special purpose electronic sound generators, cause these additional pitches, or overtones to sound. For a somewhat overly simple explanation of overtones, if you picture a string on a guitar, the fundamental pitch is created by the string vibrating over the full length the player allows to vibrate (the length between the bridge and the fret). A wave of that length is the primary sound. In reality, plucking a sting creates waves of all different waves lengths. Most such waves move up and down the string and quickly cancel each other out. A wave the full length of the string won't move and will be sustained. An additional wave, exactly half that length will also be sustained, as will waves exactly one third and one fourth the length of that free string length, etc. Any length of wave that fits exactly within the length of the free string will be sustained. These shorter, higher pitched waves are called over tones. The same thing is true for waves in a column of air like one in a trumpet or clarinet. Different instruments allow different combinations of overtones to be prominent, and that cause the different timbres.

How do you calculate column volume?
Multiply column inside diameter by the column's length. Then convert to units you need. The above is not correct.The volume of a column is the circular area of the column multiplied by the length, pi*radius^2*length.
What is the column length column to column of the Great Wall of China?
5 inches
Why is the length of air column increased slowly?
The length of the air column is usually increased slowly because of resonance.
