  2. Allostatic load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allostatic_load

    Frequent stress: the magnitude and frequency of response to stress is what determines the level of allostatic load which affects the body. Failed shut-down: the inability of the body to shut off while stress accelerates and levels in the body exceed normal levels, for example, elevated blood pressure.

  3. Impact (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_(mechanics)

    Projectiles apply a Hertzian contact stress at the point of impact to a solid body, with compression stresses under the point, but with bending loads a short distance away. Since most materials are weaker in tension than compression, this is the zone where cracks tend to form and grow.

  4. Stress (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(biology)

    For example, students who are taking exams show weaker immune responses if they also report stress due to daily hassles. [45] While responses to acute stressors typically do not impose a health burden on young, healthy individuals, chronic stress in older or unhealthy individuals may have long-term effects that are detrimental to health.

  5. AP Physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Physics

    Also in 2014, calculators were permitted for use on all parts of all AP Physics exams, whereas previously they had been permitted on only the free-response questions. After the implementation of AP Physics 1 and 2, the number of students taking the AP Physics exam doubled from 2014-2015, the largest annual growth for any AP course in history. [15]

  6. AP Physics 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Physics_2

    Advanced Placement (AP) Physics 2 is a year-long introductory physics course administered by the College Board as part of its Advanced Placement program. It is intended to proxy a second-semester algebra-based university course in thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, and modern physics. [1]

  7. Compressive stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_stress

    The ability of a material to withstand compressive stresses without failing is known as its compressive strength. When an object is subjected to a force in a single direction (referred to as a uniaxial compression), the compressive stress is determined by dividing the applied force by the cross-sectional area of the object. [1]

  8. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(mechanics)

    Stress in a material body may be due to multiple physical causes, including external influences and internal physical processes. Some of these agents (like gravity, changes in temperature and phase , and electromagnetic fields) act on the bulk of the material, varying continuously with position and time.

  9. AP Physics B - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Physics_B

    Advanced Placement (AP) Physics B was a physics course administered by the College Board as part of its Advanced Placement program. It was equivalent to a year-long introductory university course covering Newtonian mechanics , electromagnetism , fluid mechanics , thermal physics , waves , optics , and modern physics .
