The concepts of work and power help us understand and explain many things in our universe. If you’re interested in physics and how things work, this TED-ed video might be just right for you.
💡 Work is the amount of energy applied to or removed from a system. Positive work represents adding energy, while negative work represents removing energy.
🧮 Work is calculated by multiplying force by distance.
🕰️ In a grandfather clock, turning the crank adds energy to the clock, stored as gravitational potential energy.
⚡️ Power is the amount of energy transferred per unit of time.
🤯 The power required to operate a grandfather clock is very low because the energy is released slowly.
In our daily lives, we spend a significant amount of time daydreaming, and it actually has many benefits. Brain imaging studies show how daydreaming affects different areas of our brain.
🧠 People spend one-third of their waking time daydreaming.
🤔 Scientists have discovered that daydreaming is essential for important cognitive functions like creativity and problem-solving.
💡 Daydreaming activates a specific area of the brain known as the default mode network.
🎉 Young people may be more successful in generating creative ideas and solving problems through daydreaming.
Chemotherapy, used for cancer treatment, was developed based on the effects of a toxic substance used as mustard gas during World War II on bone marrow.
💊 Chemotherapy is a complex treatment that combines different classes of drugs.
🧪 Chemotherapy drugs target the DNA of cells to stop the proliferation of cancer cells.
🤕 Chemotherapy also affects healthy cells, leading to side effects such as hair loss, fatigue, and nausea.
🧑⚕️ Doctors offer treatment options such as medications and cold caps to reduce these side effects.
😠 Verbal abuse: Harsh words, disproportionate criticism, and negative predictions about the future can be signs of emotional violence.
🤬 Tone of voice and body language: Yelling, ignoring, contempt, and refusing to make eye contact are also signals of emotional violence.
🤔 Creating feelings of guilt: Abusers often try to shift the responsibility for their actions onto their victims instead of apologizing.
🔁 Repeated behaviors: Emotional violence is indicated by ongoing verbal and behavioral attacks rather than a one-time incident.
💪 Seek support: If you are a victim of emotional violence, reach out to trusted individuals for support and utilize local or national helplines.

This TED-ed talks about the dangers of mixing medications, addressing various drug and substance interactions and explaining how these interactions occur.
💊 Combining medications with similar effects, such as blood thinners and aspirin, can be dangerous as they may excessively prevent blood clotting, leading to internal bleeding.
🧪 The combination of drugs with different effects, such as cocaine and heroin, is also dangerous because cocaine increases the body’s need for oxygen, while heroin slows down respiration. This combination can lead to respiratory failure and death.
