Modern Era Flashcards
BLANK - the field dedicated to designing and building machines that fly.
Aerospace Engineering
BLANK is focused on making aircraft – like gliders, jets, and helicopters.
Aeronautical engineering
BLANK builds spacecraft – like probes, satellites, and spaceships.
Astronautical engineering
For atmospheric flight, the critical one is lifted, and the most basic form of lift is BLANK .
buoyancy
BLANK works because the atmosphere has what physicists call a pressure gradient, meaning that air pressure gets a tiny bit smaller for every little bit higher you go.
Buoyancy
That big ball of hot air is pushed up because BLANK and it pulls its passenger along for the ride.
it’s lighter than the surrounding cooler air,
A BLANK usually consists of a power source, and a propulsor, which is something that can convert power into forwarding motion. Something that pushes you forward.
propulsion system
BLANK is the apparent outward force on a mass when it is rotated.
Centrifugal force
Computers have two core parts: BLANK
Memory and CPU which execute programs.
The BLANK contains the electronic circuitry that actually performs calculations. It can also coordinate the different processes happening in a computer simultaneously, and allocates computing resources to different tasks.
CPU
provides the physical space where computer outputs can be permanently stored, like that picture you took of your cat trying to fit into a tiny box.
Computer memory
BLANK describes how engineers have managed to create more sophisticated computers in smaller physical spaces.
Moore’s law
BLANK Is the idea that you could combine a person’s genetic information with clinical data to best tailor treatment to meet their specific and unique needs.
Personalized medicine
These days we have large chemical libraries of synthetic molecules, natural products, and chemical extracts that have been tested to determine their effects. This is called BLANK.
classical pharmacology
For the BLANK, researchers were able to sequence all of our 3.2 billion base pairs,
which allowed for the rapid cloning and synthesis of large quantities of purified proteins.
