  3. Magnetic particle inspection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_particle_inspection

    The magnetization is normally done with a high current pulse that reaches a peak current very quickly and instantaneously turns off leaving the part magnetized. To demagnetize a part, the current or magnetic field needed has to be equal to or greater than the current or magnetic field used to magnetize the part.

  4. Electromagnetic absorption by water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption...

    Liquid water and ice emit radiation at a higher rate than water vapour (see graph above). Water at the top of the troposphere, particularly in liquid and solid states, cools as it emits net photons to space. Neighboring gas molecules other than water (e.g. nitrogen) are cooled by passing their heat kinetically to the water.

  5. Terminal velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity

    An object moving downward faster than the terminal velocity (for example because it was thrown downwards, it fell from a thinner part of the atmosphere, or it changed shape) will slow down until it reaches the terminal velocity. Drag depends on the projected area, here represented by the object's cross-section or silhouette in a horizontal plane.

    Key takeaways. Prolonged exposure to magnets can affect the functionality of your credit card. Cards with magnetic strips can also become demagnetized due to dirt, scratches and other damage.

  7. Magnus effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect

    Air immediately above and below the cylinder is curving downwards, accelerated by the pressure gradient. A downwards force is acting on the air. Newton's third law predicts that the Magnus force and the downwards force acting on the air are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

  8. Bubble (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_(physics)

    Air bubbles rising from a scuba diver in water A soap bubble floating in the air. A bubble is a globule of a gas substance in a liquid. In the opposite case, a globule of a liquid in a gas, is called a drop. [1] Due to the Marangoni effect, bubbles may remain intact when they reach the surface of the immersive substance.
