Aerospace
What force pushes an aircraft upwards and counters its weight?
Lift
Name this fundamental law that states force equals mass times acceleration. Give the exact name of the law (which of Newton’s laws is it?)
Newton’s Second Law
This electrical quantity equals resistance times current according to Ohm’s Law. It is measured in volts.
Voltage
This primary component is responsible for interpreting and executing most of the instructions of a computer. It is known as the “brain” of the computer.
CPU
This state of matter has a definite volume but no definite shape.
Liquid
What are the two types of satellites?
1. Artificial Satellites
2. Natural Satellites
This law states that the force required to stretch or compress a spring is directly proportional to the displacement of the spring.
Hooke’s Law
Name this circuit law that states that the sum of voltages around any closed loop must equal zero.
Kirchoff’s Voltage Law (KVL)
This sub-discipline of computer science is the application of computational algorithms and methods to create systems that can perform tasks requiring human-like intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, perception, and decision-making.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Name this type of mixture that has a uniform composition throughout.
Homogenous mixture
Name this international radio-telescope collaboration that became the first space mission to capture an image of the supermassive black hole M87.
Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration
This type of stress is found by dividing force by the cross-sectional area helps engineers determine whether a material will deform under load.
Normal stress
This device stores electrical energy in an electric field and its ability to do so is measured in farads.
Capacitor
This type of computer memory is permanent and non-volatile (retains its data even when the power is turned off)
This gas law states that at constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature
Charles’s Law
Name the famous rocket equation that relates rocket performance to mass and exhaust velocity.
v = ve * ln(m0/mf) (change in velocity = exhaust velocity * ln(wet mass/dry mass)
Tsiolkovsky equation
This behavior occurs when a system vibrates at a natural frequency and can lead to large oscillations if not properly controlled.
Resonance
This property is the total opposition to current flow in an AC circuit.
Impedance
This problem-solving alogirhtm makes the locally optimal choice at each stage, aiming for a global optimum.
Greedy’s Algorithm
This principle states that chemical reactions shift to counter changes in concentration, temperature, or pressure.
Le Chatelier’s Principle
This method for measuring black hole spin analyzes the thermal X-ray continuum from the inner accretion disk—fitting its shape to infer the innermost stable circular orbit, and therefore the black hole’s spin.
Continuum fitting
This advanced numerical method divides complex structures into smaller elements and solves the governing equations for each piece to predict deformation and stress.
Finite Element Method (FEM)
This theorem states that any linear electrical network with sources and resistances can be replaced by an equivalent voltage source and series resistance.
Thevenin’s Theorem
This hardware description language is commonly used to design digital circuits at the logic level.
VHDL or Verilog
This dimensionless number compares inertial forces to viscous forces in fluid flow and determines whether flow is laminar or turbulent.
