  2. g-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    With compressive force counted as negative tensile force, the rate of change of the tensile force in the direction of the g-force, per unit mass (the change between parts of the object such that the slice of the object between them has unit mass), is equal to the g-force plus the non-gravitational external forces on the slice, if any (counted ...

  3. Gravity of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_of_Earth

    g h is the gravitational acceleration at height h above sea level. R e is the Earth's mean radius. g 0 is the standard gravitational acceleration. The formula treats the Earth as a perfect sphere with a radially symmetric distribution of mass; a more accurate mathematical treatment is discussed below.

  4. Gravitational field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_field

    In classical mechanics, a gravitational field is a physical quantity. [5] A gravitational field can be defined using Newton's law of universal gravitation.Determined in this way, the gravitational field g around a single particle of mass M is a vector field consisting at every point of a vector pointing directly towards the particle.

  5. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_universal...

    The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them: [11] Diagram of two masses attracting one another = where F is the force between the masses; G is the Newtonian constant of gravitation (6.674 × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2);

  6. Gravimetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravimetry

    The "force constant" is just the coefficient of the displacement term in the equation of motion: m a + b v + k x + constant = F(X,t) m mass, a acceleration, b viscosity, v velocity, k force constant, x displacement F external force as a function of location/position and time. F is the force being measured, and ⁠ F / m ⁠ is the acceleration.

  7. Acceleration due to gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration_due_to_gravity

    Gravity of Earth, the acceleration caused by the combination of gravitational attraction and centrifugal force of the Earth; Standard gravity, or g, the standard value of gravitational acceleration at sea level on Earth

  8. AP Chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AP_Chemistry

    The 2014 AP Chemistry exam was the first administration of a redesigned test as a result of a redesigning of the AP Chemistry course. The exam format is now different from the previous years, with 60 multiple choice questions (now with only four answer choices per question), 3 long free response questions, and 4 short free response questions.

  9. Specific force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_force

    For free bodies, the specific force is the cause of, and a measure of, the body's proper acceleration. The acceleration of an object free falling towards the earth depends on the reference frame (it disappears in the free-fall frame, also called the inertial frame), but any g-force "acceleration" will be present in all frames.
