  2. Standard gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_gravity

    The standard acceleration of gravity or standard acceleration of free fall, often called simply standard gravity and denoted by ɡ 0 or ɡ n, is the nominal gravitational acceleration of an object in a vacuum near the surface of the Earth.

  3. Gravity of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_of_Earth

    It does not include the reduction of constraint force that we perceive as a reduction of gravity due to the rotation of Earth, and some of gravity being counteracted by centrifugal force. There are significant uncertainties in the values of r and m 1 as used in this calculation, and the value of G is also rather difficult to measure precisely.

  4. Gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity

    In physics, gravity (from Latin gravitas 'weight' [1]) is a fundamental interaction primarily observed as a mutual attraction between all things that have mass.Gravity is, by far, the weakest of the four fundamental interactions, approximately 10 38 times weaker than the strong interaction, 10 36 times weaker than the electromagnetic force, and 10 29 times weaker than the weak interaction.

  5. Scale height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_height

    A schematic depiction of the force balance in a gas disk around a central object, e.g., a star. For a disk of gas around a condensed central object, such as, for example, a protostar, one can derive a disk scale height which is somewhat analogous to the planetary scale height.

  6. Standard rate turn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_rate_turn

    A standard rate turn is defined as a 3° per second turn, which completes a 360° turn in 2 minutes. This is known as a 2-minute turn, or rate one (180°/min). Fast airplanes, or aircraft on certain precision approaches, use a half standard rate ('rate half' in some countries), but the definition of standard rate does not change.

  7. Etacrynic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etacrynic_acid

    Ethacrynic acid is a diuretic that is used to treat edema when a stronger agent is required. It is available as a pill or injected form. The pill is used to treat edema associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis and renal disease, accumulation of liquid in the belly associated with cancer or edema, and management of hospitalized children with congenital heart disease or nephrotic ...

    I'm absolutely making progress, and I'm really happy with how far I've come," he explained in a statement. "But I still have no timetable to return to competitive golf." [119] However, he did attend the Masters Champions Dinner on April 5, 2016. [120] For the first time in his career, he missed all four majors in one year due to problems with ...
