  2. Drag (physics) - Wikipedia

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

    In aerodynamics, aerodynamic drag, also known as air resistance, is the fluid drag force that acts on any moving solid body in the direction of the air's freestream flow. [ 23 ] From the body's perspective (near-field approach), the drag results from forces due to pressure distributions over the body surface, symbolized D p r {\displaystyle D ...

  3. Airway resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airway_resistance

    Where air is flowing in a laminar manner it has less resistance than when it is flowing in a turbulent manner. If flow becomes turbulent, and the pressure difference is increased to maintain flow, this response itself increases resistance. This means that a large increase in pressure difference is required to maintain flow if it becomes turbulent.

  4. Ballistic coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_coefficient

    Meaning, air density is the generally the same for flat-fire trajectories, thus sectional density is equal to the ballistic coefficient and air density can be dropped. Then as the velocity rises to Bashforth's k {\displaystyle k} for high velocity when C {\displaystyle C} requires the introduction of i {\displaystyle i} .

  5. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body(ies).

  6. Rorschach test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorschach_test

    Rorschach test. The Rorschach test is a projective psychological test in which subjects' perceptions of inkblots are recorded and then analyzed using psychological interpretation, complex algorithms, or both. Some psychologists use this test to examine a person's personality characteristics and emotional functioning.

  7. Operationalization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operationalization

    Operationalization is the scientific practice of operational definition, where even the most basic concepts are defined through the operations by which we measure them. The practice originated in the field of physics with the philosophy of science book The Logic of Modern Physics (1927), by Percy Williams Bridgman, whose methodological position is called "operationalism".

  9. Resistance (psychoanalysis) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resistance_(psychoanalysis)

    Id resistance is the opposition put up by the unconscious id against any change in its accustomed patterns of gratification. [23] Id resistance reflects the unconscious desire for consistency in a manner that is based upon the pleasure principle. Since the id is an innate portion of human instinct, interpretation of the conscious is an ...
