What is a vector?
The measure of the rate of electrical charge flowing through the wire of the circuit.
What is current?
The horizontal structural element that supports loads between two points, such as in bridges and buildings.
What is a beam?
This material is commonly used for hip and knee implants due to its biocompatibility and strength.
What is titanium?
The 4th state of matter.
What is plasma?
The equation τ = r × F defines this measure of rotational force.
What is torque?

What is the endocrine system?
The term for the amount of disorder of kinetic energy in a system.
What is entropy?
The term for the resistance of a fluid to shear stress, often measured in pascal-seconds.
What is viscosity?
The role a component plays in the control or transformation of electric current.
What is electrical function?
Chromium is added to a particular element to create this corrosion resistant metal.
What is stainless steel?
This neurotransmitter stimulates sodium channels to open in the cell membrane, allowing muscles to contract.
What is acetylcholine?
A molecule is said to be this if it cannot be superimposed onto a mirror image of itself.
What is chiral?
Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz invented this independently, in two different parts of the world around the same time.
What is calculus?
A component that has an ideally zero resistance in one direction, but an ideally infinite resistant in the other direction.
What is a diode?
The type of soil testing done to determine the ability of the ground to support structures.
What is a geotechnical survey?
This disease is characterized by widespread muscular pain and fatigue, and is more common in women than men.
What is fibromyalgia?
The dimensionless quantity that helps predict fluid flow patterns in different situations.
This mixes liquid hydrogen and oxygen to produce heat released in the formation of water for propulsion.
What is a rocket engine?
This search algorithm, used for sorted lists, repeatedly divides the list in half to find a target value.
What is a binary search?
0.5 is the maximum value of this famous ratio, describing the relationship between the decrease in lateral measurement and the increase in length of a sample.
What is Poisson's ratio?
