Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter and the foundation for electricity.

Simple harmonic motion describes the vibration of atoms, the variability of giant stars, and countless other systems from musical instruments to swaying skyscrapers.

Static electricity results from an imbalance between negative and positive charges in objects.

The weak force is one of the four fundamental forces that govern all matter in the universe. Through the process of beta decay, it plays a crucial role in powering stars and creating elements.

Environmental engineering is the branch of engineering that is concerned with protecting people from the effects of adverse environmental effects.

Computer engineering is the branch of engineering that integrates electronic engineering with computer sciences.

Industrial engineering is the branch of engineering that involves figuring out how to make or do things better.

Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with chemical production and the manufacture of products through chemical processes.

A mirror image is the result of light rays bounding off a reflective surface. Reflection and refraction are the two main aspects of geometric optics.

Biomedical engineering is the integration of biology, medicine and engineering to develop systems and devices to improve health care.

Aerodynamics is the study of how gases interact with moving bodies, especially aircraft and automobiles.

Structural engineering deals with the framework of structures, making sure they can withstand the stresses of their environment and remain safe, stable and secure.

Aerospace engineering deals with designing and building machines that fly. There are two main specialties: aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering.

Civil engineering is the design and construction of public works, such as dams, bridges and other large infrastructure projects.

Electrical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with the technology of electricity, including circuitry, power generation, machine control and communications.

Mechanical engineers build things such as machines and tools that improve the conditions of life.

Fluid dynamics is the study of the movement of liquids and gases. Fluid dynamics applies to many fields, including astronomy, biology, engineering and geology.

Kinetic energy is the energy of mass in motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy it has because of its motion.
