What is the first step in any design process? Discovery is the first step of the design process, where teams work together to develop an understanding of the problem they are trying to solve, and define the path they will take to explore solutions. It culminates in the communication of a vision – a concise […]
What are symptoms of timing being off?
What are symptoms of timing being off? What causes ignition timing to be off? When any changes are made to the engine of a car, the ignition timing is adjusted accordingly. If not, you could experience several problems with your engine with improper ignition timing like knocking, hard to start, increase fuel usage, overheating, and […]
How do genes influence traits?
How do genes influence traits? Genes (say: jeenz) play an important role in determining physical traits — how we look —and lots of other stuff about us. They carry information that makes you who you are and what you look like: curly or straight hair, long or short legs, even how you might smile or […]
What is the main difference between a radio wave and light?
What is the main difference between a radio wave and light? Both radio waves and light are electromagnetic waves; their main difference is their frequency. Radio waves are created by the acceleration of electrons in a radio antenna, and light waves are created by the oscillations of the electrons within atoms. How do you brighten […]

Do airplanes have constant velocity?
Do airplanes have constant velocity? Since there is no net external force on the aircraft, the aircraft will maintain a constant airspeed as described by Newton’s First Law of Motion. However, if the forces become unbalanced, the aircraft will move in the direction of the greater force. How is an aircraft held into a turn? […]
