What the pi constant represents

Pi is the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. And it doesn’t matter how big or small the circle is, the ratio always stays the same: pi. That’s why pi is called a constant. Authors: ZDF/Terra X/Bilderfest/Lena Paul/Dirk Hagen/Saba Bussmann/Jochen Schmidt Translation and dubbing: alu

ScienceCasts: Hubble’s Contentious Constant

There are two leading ways to measure the universe's rate of expansion, and for fifteen years, they more or less agreed with one another. Not anymore, and that’s a big deal. Visit http://science.nasa.gov/ for more. Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/NASA

Q12 Autoprotolysis of water

The law of mass action is applied to the autoprotolysis of water. Through further considerations, a constant Kw can be defined. This is called the ionic product of water. This is the basis of the pH value. Original: "Wolfgang Dukorn" Original: German. All translations in this video have been done

Why Doesn't the Moon Fall Down?

Astronomer Doris Daou explains how the forces of speed and gravity keep the Moon in a constant orbit around Earth in this animated video segment adapted from NASA. The Moon, Earth's natural satellite, seems to hover in the sky, unaffected by gravity. However, the reason the Moon stays in orbit is pr

Q 11 Substrate Saturation Curve

The reaction speed of the enzyme-catalyzed reactions depends on various factors. In this screencast, the dependence on the substrate concept is explained and the curve is derived. Finally, the Michaelis constant is described. Original: "Wolfgang Dukorn" Original: German. All translations in this v
