Resonance - when pumping a swing in rhythm with its natural frequency, it produces larger amplitudes.

(def. - occurs when the frequency of a vibration forced on an object matches the object's natural frequency and a dramatic increase in amplitude occurs)

What physics principle is used by a child on a swing when they pump in rhythm with the natural frequency of the swing?

The child is using the principle of resonance. By pumping at the natural frequency of the swing, they are applying periodic impulses that add energy to the swing system, increasing its amplitude. This allows the child to swing higher and higher.


Why is a solar heater called a self pumping system?

A solar heater is called a self-pumping system because it uses natural convection to circulate water or heat transfer fluid through the system. When the fluid is heated by the sun, it rises naturally, creating a pumping effect without the need for additional mechanical pumps. This self-pumping mechanism helps to save energy and reduces the complexity of the system.


When was Selly Oak Pumping Station created?

Selly Oak Pumping Station was created in 1878.


What is the basic principle of wind mill?

The basic principle behind the wind mill is that the wind as an external force changes the static force to a kinetic force(from rest to motion).This kinetic energy rotates the wind mill blades which produces electricity.


What are the types of pumping in lasers?

A laser emits a beam of energy in the form of light. But to get energy out of a laser, we have to put some in. Depending on the type of laser, there are different ways to do this. What is important here is that the energy put into the lasing medium, the energy that is pumped into that medium to stimulate it, to excite it (the actual term), to induce it to lase, is supplied by an outside source, by a pump appropriate to that type of laser. So the pump, that thing outside the medium that stimulates it to induce it into lasing, is pumping when it is exciting the medium. Hope this was, um, coherent....

What is Static level and pumping water level?

Static water level refers to the natural groundwater level in a well when no pumping is occurring. Pumping water level is the level of water in a well while pumping is actively taking place. The difference between these two levels helps determine the yield and efficiency of a well.


What is the essential function that keeps the heart pumping?

The essential function that keeps the heart pumping is the contraction and relaxation of the heart muscle, which is controlled by electrical signals from the heart's natural pacemaker, the sinoatrial node.


Why does the heart keeps pumping?

The heart runs on an automatic system just as breathing does. The heart's built-in electrical system controls the speed of its pumping. The electrical impulse originates in the sinus node which functions as the heart's natural pacemaker.


How is electricity helpful to the human body?

Well the brain is really nothing more than a series of electrical impulses, and the heart is kept pumping regularly by a pacemaker - a natural source of electricity that shocks the heart into pumping blood. Hope this helps! :D

What is the working principle of double acting pump?

double acting pump. .to a maximum when the piston is approximately halfway through its stroke. The variation in pumping rate can be reduced by using both sides of the piston to pump fluid. Pumps of this type are called double acting. Fluctuations in pumping rate can be further reduced by using more than one cylinder.
