How did shortening the length of the spring affect the resonant frequencies? How does this confirm the relationship v = ? f when velocity is constant? And how musical instruments create higher and lower tones. Use a string instrument as an example.
I can't explain above question well....When the wavelength becomes short, it increases its frequency.

A uniform magnetic field exerts a force on a moving charge which is equal to the charge times the vector product of the velocity and the magnetic field. Can this force change the magnitude of the velocity of the charge? Explain. Can both uniform electric and magnetic fields exist (for non-zero fields) where the net force on a charge is zero? If so, what are the constraints on the fields? If not, why not?
