  2. Force Concept Inventory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_Concept_Inventory

    The Force Concept Inventory is a test measuring mastery of concepts commonly taught in a first semester of physics developed by Hestenes, Halloun, Wells, and Swackhamer (1985). It was the first such " concept inventory " and several others have been developed since for a variety of topics.

    Parts of a flute. The gizmo key is illustrated in red.. The gizmo key is a key commonly found on the B foot joint of certain models of flute.It closes the low B tone hole without closing the low C tone hole or the low C ♯ tone hole, which is intended to facilitate the performance of the fourth octave C.

  4. Contact force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_force

    In the first case the force is continuously applied to the car by a person, while in the second case the force is delivered in a short impulse. Contact forces are often decomposed into orthogonal components, one perpendicular to the surface(s) in contact called the normal force, and one parallel to the surface(s) in contact, called the friction ...

  5. Turbofan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbofan

    It consists of a gas turbine engine which achieves mechanical energy from combustion, [1] and a ducted fan that uses the mechanical energy from the gas turbine to force air rearwards. Thus, whereas all the air taken in by a turbojet passes through the combustion chamber and turbines, in a turbofan some of that air bypasses these components.

  6. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body(ies).

  7. Pratt & Whitney F119 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pratt_&_Whitney_F119

    The shroud-less fan has wide-chord, low aspect ratio hollow titanium fan blades that are linear-friction welded to the disks to form single-piece integrally-bladed rotors (IBRs), or blisks. The fan and compressor stators and thrust-vectoring nozzle use a burn-resistant titanium alloy called Alloy C, with the first row of vanes variable in order ...

  8. Axial fan design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_fan_design

    An axial fan is a type of fan that causes gas to flow through it in an axial direction, parallel to the shaft about which the blades rotate. The flow is axial at entry and exit. The fan is designed to produce a pressure difference, and hence force, to cause a flow through the fan. Factors which determine the performance of the fan include the ...
