What is blue?
The contents of an alloy in terms of what elements are present and in what amount?
This school of psychology focuses on observable behavior rather than internal mental states.
What is behaviorism?
The point, through which the whole weight of the body acts, irrespective of its position
What is the center of gravity?
An aircraft with floats or skis instead of wheels - designed to land on and take off from water.
What is a Seaplane
What is the term for a market structure where there is only one seller?
What is a monopoly?
The resistance of a material to force, which tends to deform or fail by crushing.
What is Compressive strength?
This neurotransmitter is most commonly associated with reward, motivation, and reinforcement.
What is dopamine?
This type of stress occurs when a material is pulled apart.
What is tensile stress?
Acts in the opposite direction of flight - opposes the forward- acting force of thrust - and limits the forward speed of the aircraft.

Product, price, place, promotion
This type of crystal defect involves a missing atom in the lattice.
What is a vacancy?
This term refers to a person’s awareness of their own thoughts and mental processes.
What is metacognition?
This type of system can exchange energy but not mass with its surroundings.
What is a closed system?
A thin layer of air next to the surface of an airfoil which shows a reduction in speed due to the air's viscosity.
What is a boundary layer
This term describes a situation where new competitors enter a market and drive down prices
What is Market entry?
The ratio of tensile stress to the strain it causes within that range of elasticity.
What is the Modulus of elasticity?
This effect describes improved performance when others are present.
What is social facilitation?
This dimensionless number compares inertial forces to viscous forces in a fluid.
Motion around the lateral axis caused by deflection in the elevator controlled by moving the yoke forward and aft.
Pitch
This market theory states that asset prices fully reflect all available information
What is Efficient market hypothesis?
This phase diagram feature represents a point where liquid transforms into two solid phases simultaneously.
What is a eutectic point?
This psychological phenomenon explains why people are more likely to remember unfinished tasks than completed ones.
