Physics
This law states that the force required to extend or compress a spring is directly proportional to the displacement, with the constant of proportionality known as the spring constant.
What is Hooke's Law?"
This property of a fluid measures its resistance to deformation or flow and is often described as the fluid's "thickness.
What is viscosity?
This fundamental law states that the rate of heat conduction through a material is proportional to the negative gradient of temperature and the material's thermal conductivity.
What is Fourier's Law of Heat Conduction?
This disease is caused by the Plasmodium parasite usually spread to humans through infected mosquito bites.
What is malaria?
This internet meme symbolizes an ultra-masculine, confident individual often portrayed with a chiseled jawline and a smirking expression, originating from a 3D-rendered image.
What is Gigachad?
This phenomenon occurs when a wave encounters an obstacle or a slit, causing the wave to spread out or bend around the edges.
What is diffraction?
This is the temperature at which air becomes fully saturated with water vapor, causing condensation to occur.
What is the dew point?
This dimensionless number in natural convection problems quantifies the ratio of buoyancy to viscous forces and is crucial in determining whether flow will occur due to temperature differences.
What is the Grashof number?
This organelle found in plant cells is the site of photosynthesis.
What is a chloroplast?
Originally created as a joke in 2013, this cryptocurrency featuring a Shiba Inu dog gained popularity thanks to internet memes and support from high-profile figures like Elon Musk.
What is Dogecoin?
This term refers to the process by which the amplitude of oscillations in a system decreases over time, typically due to energy loss from friction or other resistive forces.
What is damping?
This dimensionless number characterizes flow in curved pipes or channels, accounting for the effects of centrifugal forces and viscous forces on the flow.
What is the Dean number?
This phenomenon occurs in heat exchangers when the temperature of the cold fluid leaving exceeds the temperature of the hot fluid entering, typically observed in counterflow arrangements.
What is temperature cross?
This is one of two or more versions of a gene that are found at the same place on a chromosome.
What is an allele?
This popular meme features a basketball legend delivering the line "Stop it. Get some help" in a public service announcement against drug use, often repurposed online to humorously critique bad decisions.
Who is Michael Jordan?
This law describes the magnetic field generated by a steady electric current, stating that the magnetic field at a point is proportional to the current and inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the current element.
What is the Biot-Savart law?
At low stresses, this fluid behaves like a rigid body. At high stresses, it flows like a viscous fluid with a linear stress-strain relationship once the yield stress is exceeded.
What is a Bingham plastic?
This dimensionless number, expressed as the product of Reynolds number (Re) and Prandtl number (Pr), represents the ratio of convective to diffusive transport in a fluid flow.
What is the Peclet number (Pe)?
This enzyme unzips a DNA strand to allow for replication.
What is DNA helicase?
In this 2000 action-comedy film, a dictator's speech is interrupted by an unexpected phone call, leading to a memorable line: 'I will be the most powerful dictator in the world... or at least in this room.
What is The Dictator?
In historical physics, this hypothetical substance was once thought to fill all of space and serve as the medium for the propagation of light waves, though it was later disproven by the Michelson-Morley experiment.
What is the ether (or aether)?
This type of flow occurs between two parallel plates when one plate moves relative to the other, creating a linear velocity profile in a viscous fluid.
What is Couette flow?
This equation, commonly used in heat transfer and fluid mechanics, is named after two engineers and calculates the Nusselt number for turbulent flow in pipes as a function of Reynolds and Prandtl numbers.
What is the Dittus-Boelter equation?
This protein complex in the thylakoid membrane that participates in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, producing NADPH and facilitating ATP synthesis.
What is Photosystem I (PSI)
This 51-year-old Turkish Olympic medalist became a meme after his relaxed demeanor and casual attire during the Paris 2024 Olympics went viral, inspiring captions about effortless success.
Who is Yusuf Dikeç?
