What does the length of a string on a guitar have to do with pitch?

Vibrations run up and down the string at the sound of speed. The longer the string the lower the frequency of the wave biting both ends, resulting in a lower pitch. Frequency is simply the frequency of the vibrations.

What does the loudness and the pitch of a guitar depend on?
Loudness for an acoustic guitar depends on how hard you pluck the string. Loudness for an electric guitar depends on how loud the speaker setting is. Pitch depends on which string you pluck, and which fret, if any, you are fingering. The tighter the string, the higher the pitch, in general. The shorter the section that is allowed to vibrate, the higher the pitch of that string.
What happens when you tighten a guitar string by turning its keys what pitch will you make?
The tighter you make the string - the higher the pitch.
Which guitar string would have the lower pitch the guitar string is short and tight or guitar string is really long and loose?
depending on the the individual gauges of the six (6) guitar strings ie: E, A, D, G, B, E, of course the guitar string that is long and loose produces the lowest pitch... A good example of this are the strings on a mandolin or a 'banduria' which has shorter strings compared to the strings on the guitar...because the mandolin/banduria strings are shorter and tighter, it produces higher pitch... "short and tight=higher pitch......long and loose=lower pitch"
How do you get different notes from a string on a guitar?
By placing a finger on a fret along the neck of the guitar, the length of the string is changed and the note altered.
When you increased the length of a guitar string the pitch or vibration speed that is produce becomes?
lower
Why are guitar strings farther apart at the body of the guitar?
They aren't. You might be talking about the frets, which has to do with the physics of a vibrating string. Cutting a string in half increases the pitch one octave, so you need to shorten the length of the string less as the string shortens to get the same change in pitch.
Why does pressing the strings of guitar raise the high pitch?
The pitch of a guitar string will rise if you shorten it or tighten it. When you press a string, you hold it against a metal bar called a 'fret'. This effectively shortens the length where the string can vibrate, so the pitch is higher. You can also 'bend' the string by sliding it sideways up the fret. This tightens the string and the pitch will also rise, but you can vary the pressure making the note slide instead of changing suddenly.

What does the tightness of a string on a guitar have to do with pitch?
The tighter the strings, the higher the pitch.
Why does a base guitar have longer strings than a regular guitar?
It gives a deeper and "Bassier" tonal quality. Also the strings are longer because of the lower pitch of the notes that are generally played. A pitch of a string depends not only on the length but also the tension. A loose short string doesn't sound as good as a long tighter string.
What happens when you tighten a guitar string by turning its keys what pitch will you make?
The tighter you make the string - the higher the pitch.
When you tighten your guitar what effect will this have on the string?
It will it have a higher pitch.
What is the relation between the length of the string of stringed instruments and pitch of the note the string produces?
The shorter you make a string, the higher the pitch will be. You can notice that as someone plays the guitar, and they slide their fingers toward the body, the pitch gets higher. If you loosen a peg on a stringed instrument to elongate the string, the pitch drops because the frequency (how many vibrations per second) decreases.
Why does moving your finger up an down a guitar string change the pitch?
the frets make the guitar string make a different sound.
