  2. Weightlessness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weightlessness

    A weakened heart can result in low blood volume, low blood pressure and affect the body's ability to send oxygen to the brain without the individual becoming dizzy. [69] Heart rhythm disturbances have also been seen among astronauts, but it is unclear whether this was a result of pre-existing conditions or an effect of the micro-g environment. [70]

  3. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    The weight of the object in the fluid is reduced, because of the force acting on it, which is called upthrust. In simple terms, the principle states that the buoyant force (F b) on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object, or the density of the fluid multiplied by the submerged volume (V) times the gravity (g) [1] [3]

  4. Spatial disorientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_disorientation

    For aviators, proper recognition of aircraft attitude is most critical at night or in poor weather, when there is no visible horizon; in these conditions, aviators may determine aircraft attitude by reference to an attitude indicator. Spatial disorientation can occur in other situations where visibility is reduced, such as diving operations.

  5. Terminal velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity

    This speed is the asymptotic limiting value of the speed, and the forces acting on the body balance each other more and more closely as the terminal speed is approached. In this example, a speed of 50.0% of terminal speed is reached after only about 3 seconds, while it takes 8 seconds to reach 90%, 15 seconds to reach 99%, and so on.

  6. Acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acceleration

    The acceleration of a falling body in the absence of resistances to motion is dependent only on the gravitational field strength g (also called acceleration due to gravity). By Newton's Second Law the force F g {\displaystyle \mathbf {F_{g}} } acting on a body is given by: F g = m g . {\displaystyle \mathbf {F_{g}} =m\mathbf {g} .}

  7. Balancing of rotating masses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_of_rotating_masses

    Under conditions where rotating speed is very high even though the mass is low, as in gas turbines or jet engines, or under conditions where rotating speed is low but the mass is high, as in ship propellers, balance of the rotating system should be highly considered, because it may generate large vibrations and cause failure of the whole system.

    The acceleration clause, true to its name, accelerates the mortgage repayment schedule. It will force you to repay the entire balance of your loan, plus accrued interest, in a single payment ...

  9. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    This velocity is the asymptotic limiting value of the acceleration process, because the effective forces on the body balance each other more and more closely as the terminal velocity is approached. In this example, a speed of 50 % of terminal velocity is reached after only about 3 seconds, while it takes 8 seconds to reach 90 %, 15 seconds to ...
