Science
A type of circuit is characterized by having only one pathway for current to flow
What is a series circuit?
The unit of resistance
What is an ohm?
A simple machine consisting of a fulcrum and an arm
What is a lever?
If a rectangle has a length of 8 units and a width of 5 units, what is its area?
What is 40 units?
The fundamental force that causes objects to fall towards earth
What is gravity?
The scientific study of heredity
What is genetics?
The names of the positive and negative terminals of an LED.
What are the anode and cathode?
The shape that maximizes area for a given perimeter
What is a circle?
Solve for x in the equation 2x + 7 = 15
What is x = 4?
2x - 1 = 7
Does x = 4?
The name of the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by emitting radiation
What is radioactive decay?
CPU (central processing unit) is the integrated circuit that contains the central processing unit of a computer on a single chip (brain of the computer).
What is a CPU?
The branch of engineering focused on the design of computer-controlled electromechanical systems.
What is mechatronics engineering?
(-b +- √(b^2-4ac)) / 2a
What is the quadratic formula?
The circuit component that stores electrical energy to be used later.
What is a capacitor?
Term for hypothetical structure, often associated with certain theories of physics, that represents a region of spacetime where gravitation forces are so intense that nothing, not even light, can escape.
Black Hole
CDROM uses laser technology to read and write data. The laser in the drive emits a beam of light that interacts with the surface of the CD, allowing the drive to read the data stored in the disc.
How does CDROM function?
This engineering term describes the form per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface.
What is pressure?
A measure of the spread of data around the mean, calculated by taking the square root of the variance
What is the standard deviation?
In electrical engineering, this fundamental law describes the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in an electric circuit.
What is Ohm's Law?
Identify the principle that states that the entropy of an isolated system will tend to increase over time, leading to a natural progression towards disorder.
What is the Second Law of Thermodynamics?
ALU is responsible for performing calculations and logic instructions on a computer. It is a crucial component of the CPU, and performs logical operations like AND, OR, and NOT, allowing the computer to make decisions based on conditions.
What is an Arithmetic and Logic Unit?
This engineering principle explains how a change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid and to the walls of its container.
What is Pascal's Principle?
The trigonometric function equal to the ratio of the side opposite the given angle to the hypotenuse in a right-angled triangle
What is the sine function?
The process used in calculus to find the slope of a curve at a specific point.
What is differentiation or finding the derivative?
