  2. Schwarzschild radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_radius

    Therefore, as the body accumulates matter at a given fixed density (in this example, 997 kg/m 3, the density of water), its Schwarzschild radius will increase more quickly than its physical radius. When a body of this density has grown to around 136 million solar masses (1.36 × 10 8 M ☉), its physical radius would be overtaken by its ...

  3. Guidance, navigation, and control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guidance,_navigation,_and...

    Guidance, navigation and control (abbreviated GNC, GN&C, or G&C) is a branch of engineering dealing with the design of systems to control the movement of vehicles, especially, automobiles, ships, aircraft, and spacecraft. In many cases these functions can be performed by trained humans.

  4. List of gravitationally rounded objects of the Solar System

    Estimates from an IAU question-and-answer press release from 2006, giving 800 km radius and 0.5 × 10 21 kg mass as cut-offs that normally would be enough for hydrostatic equilibrium, while stating that observation would be needed to determine the status of borderline cases. [50]

  5. Navarro–Frenk–White profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navarro–Frenk–White...

    The total mass is divergent, but it is often useful to take the edge of the halo to be the virial radius, R vir, which is related to the "concentration parameter", c, and scale radius via = (Alternatively, one can define a radius at which the average density within this radius is times the critical or mean density of the universe, resulting in ...

  6. Specific modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_modulus

    Approximate specific stiffness for various materials. No attempt is made to correct for materials whose stiffness varies with their density. Material Young's modulus Density (g/cm 3) Young's modulus per density; specific stiffness (10 6 m 2 s −2) Young's modulus per density squared (10 3 m 5 kg −1 s −2) Young's modulus per density cubed ...

  7. List of Solar System objects by size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Solar_System...

    For example, if a TNO is incorrectly assumed to have a mass of 3.59 × 10 20 kg based on a radius of 350 km with a density of 2 g/cm 3 but is later discovered to have a radius of only 175 km with a density of 0.5 g/cm 3, its true mass would be only 1.12 × 10 19 kg.

  8. Linear density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_density

    Consider a long, thin rod of mass and length .To calculate the average linear mass density, ¯, of this one dimensional object, we can simply divide the total mass, , by the total length, : ¯ = If we describe the rod as having a varying mass (one that varies as a function of position along the length of the rod, ), we can write: = Each infinitesimal unit of mass, , is equal to the product of ...

  9. Lawson criterion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawson_criterion

    With a compression by 10 3, the compressed density will be 200 g/cm 3, and the compressed radius can be as small as 0.05 mm. The radius of the fuel before compression would be 0.5 mm. The initial pellet will be perhaps twice as large since most of the mass will be ablated during the compression.
