What does tightening a string do? Tension refers to how tightly the string is stretched. Tightening the string gives it a higher frequency while loosening it lowers the frequency. When string players tighten or loosen their strings, they are altering the pitches to make them in tune. The density of a string will also affect […]

What does velocity relative to the ground mean?
What does velocity relative to the ground mean? The velocity of the object measured relative to the ground is called the ground speed. Again, this is a vector quantity. Airspeed is the vector difference between the ground speed and the wind speed. On a perfectly still day, the airspeed is equal to the ground speed. […]
How do you explain combustion?
How do you explain combustion? Combustion is a chemical process in which a substance reacts rapidly with oxygen and gives off heat. The original substance is called the fuel, and the source of oxygen is called the oxidizer. The fuel can be a solid, liquid, or gas, although for airplane propulsion the fuel is usually […]

What is hydraulic principle?
What is hydraulic principle? The basic principle behind any hydraulic system is very simple – pressure applied anywhere to a body of fluid causes a force to be transmitted equally in all directions, with the force acting at right angles to any surface in contact with the fluid. This is known as Pascal’s Law. What […]
What is a pulley system in physics?
What is a pulley system in physics? Pulleys are mechanisms compost by wheel and rope used to lift heavy objects onto tall heights. They change the direction of an applied force and they can even reduce the force needed to lift a weight. Pulleys systems are common used in constructions. What is the tension formula? […]
