Engineering
What is the term for a drawing that shows how to build something?
What is a blueprint?
The energy of an object due to its motion, calculated as 1/2mv^2
What is kinetic energy?
The balanced equation 2H2+O2→2H2O indicates that two moles of hydrogen react with how many moles of oxygen?
What is one mole?
The process by which water vapor turns into liquid water is known as this.
What is condensation?
The Northern Lights is caused by charged particles from the Sun colliding with Earth’s atmosphere, resulting in colorful displays of light. What's another name for Northern lights?
What is aurora borealis?
This device converts rotary motion into linear motion and is commonly used in machines.
What is a screw?
Disturbances that transfer energy through space and time
What are waves?
In this bond, one atom donates an electron to another atom, resulting in oppositely charged ions.
What is an ionic bond?
This phenomenon occurs when the soil becomes saturated with water, leading to a rapid flow of water down a slope.
What is a mudslide?
This celestial event occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, blocking the Sun's light.
What is a solar eclipse?
This type of structure is used to distribute weight and provide stability to buildings.
What are beams?
This energy is associated with the temperature of a system and is the total kinetic energy of all particles in the system.
What is thermal energy?
This term refers to the maximum amount of product that can be formed in a reaction based on the limiting reactant.
What is theoretical yield?
This type of rock forms from the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.
What is igneous rock?
Thousands of these (planets outside our solar system) have been discovered. Some are located in the "habitable zone," where conditions may support liquid water.
This device converts electrical energy into light.
What is a light-emitting diode (LED)?
Introduced by Einstein, it describes how time and space are interconnected and how they are affected by relative motion.
What is special relativity?
This group of elements is known for being unreactive due to having a full outer electron shell.
What are noble gases?
This layer of Earth is primarily composed of silicate minerals and is found between the crust and the outer core
What is the mantle?
This planet has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are thought to be captured asteroids.
What is Mars?
This testing method involves examining the functionality of a program without looking at its internal structures.
What is black-box testing?
This term describes the phenomenon where two waves superpose to form a resultant wave of greater or lower amplitude.
What is interference?
This term refers to the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on balanced equations.
What is stoichiometry?
The point on the Earth's surface directly above where an earthquake originates is called this.
What is the epicenter?
Due to the effects of gravity and high speeds, time can pass differently in space compared to Earth—a phenomenon predicted by Einstein’s theory of relativity.
What is time dilation?
