  2. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    Knowing the location of the center of gravity when rigging is crucial, possibly resulting in severe injury or death if assumed incorrectly. A center of gravity that is at or above the lift point will most likely result in a tip-over incident. In general, the further the center of gravity below the pick point, the safer the lift.

  3. List of centroids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centroids

    The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object in -dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.

  4. Centers of gravity in non-uniform fields - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centers_of_gravity_in_non...

    One can further define a unique center of gravity by approximating the field as either parallel or spherically symmetric. The concept of a center of gravity as distinct from the center of mass is rarely used in applications, even in celestial mechanics, where non-uniform fields are important. Since the center of gravity depends on the external ...

  5. Barycenter (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycenter_(astronomy)

    If Jupiter had Mercury's orbit (57,900,000 km, 0.387 AU), the Sun–Jupiter barycenter would be approximately 55,000 km from the center of the Sun (⁠ r 1 / R 1 ⁠ ≈ 0.08). But even if the Earth had Eris's orbit (1.02 × 10 10 km, 68 AU), the Sun–Earth barycenter would still be within the Sun (just over 30,000 km from the center).

  6. Sphere of influence (astrodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphere_of_influence_(astro...

    Gravity well is a metaphorical name for the sphere of influence, highlighting the gravitational potential that shapes a sphere of influence, and that needs to be accounted for to escape or stay in the sphere of influence.

  7. How the Universe Works - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_the_Universe_Works

    Shows how light escape from the Sun by a journey from the center of the Sun, following the path of light. Explores lights fiery birth in the core, its 430,000-mile (690,000 km) battle against gravity and magnetism , and its escape from the solar surface.

  8. Barbie: Star Light Adventure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbie:_Star_Light_Adventure

    Once there, Barbie, Sal-Lee, Sheena, and Kareena fly through the gravity-related obstacles and clear a path for Constantine and his machine. They find their way to the planet's core where the avatars of the stars reside, and Constantine, stubbornly disregarding Barbie's advice to listen and reevaluate the situation, uses his device as planned.

  9. Spaghettification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghettification

    It shows both the tidal field (thick red arrows) and the gravity field (thin blue arrows) exerted on the body's surface and center (label O) by a source (label S). In astrophysics , spaghettification (sometimes referred to as the noodle effect ) [ 1 ] is the vertical stretching and horizontal compression of objects into long thin shapes (rather ...
