Engineering & Physics Quiz
What principle explains why airplanes stay in the air?
Bernoulli's Principle explains that faster-moving air over the curved surface of the wing creates lower pressure above the wing, and higher pressure below it, allowing the plane to lift.
In fluid dynamics, what is the term for a flow where every particle follows a smooth path, without turbulence?
In laminar flow, a fluid moves in smooth, parallel layers with minimal interaction between them, resulting in steady and predictable motion.
Electrical Engineering
What is the unit of electrical power?
The watt is a unit of electrical power that measures the rate of energy used or produced (1 watt = 1 joule per second).
Which law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it?
Ohm’s Law states that voltage (V) across a conductor is directly proportional to the current (I) flowing through it, expressed as V = IR.
Materials Engineering
Which material is known for having the highest melting point?
Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal, at 3,422°C (6,192°F).
Industrial Engineering
What method is often used in industrial engineering to optimize production processes?
Six Sigma is a data-driven approach to optimize production by reducing defects and improving efficiency.
What is the primary goal of lean manufacturing?
Lean manufacturing focuses on minimizing waste while maintaining productivity and quality.
