  2. Mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass

    If a first body of mass m A is placed at a distance r (center of mass to center of mass) from a second body of mass m B, each body is subject to an attractive force F g = Gm A m B /r 2, where G = 6.67 × 10 −11 N⋅kg −2 ⋅m 2 is the "universal gravitational constant". This is sometimes referred to as gravitational mass.

  3. Mass versus weight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_versus_weight

    Nevertheless, one object will always weigh more than another with less mass if both are subject to the same gravity (i.e. the same gravitational field strength). In scientific contexts, mass is the amount of "matter" in an object (though "matter" may be difficult to define), but weight is the force exerted on an object's matter by gravity. [1]

  4. Tumefactive multiple sclerosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumefactive_multiple_sclerosis

    These atypical lesion characteristics include a large intracranial lesion of size greater than 2.0 cm with a mass effect, edema and an open ring enhancement. A mass effect is the effect of a mass on its surroundings, for example, exerting pressure on the surrounding brain matter. Edema is the build-up of fluid within the brain tissue.

  5. Heavy legs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_legs

    Heavy legs is a condition described as an unpleasant sensation of pain and heaviness in the lower limbs. Symptoms include legs feeling weighted, stiff, and tired. Heavy legs can be caused by a wide-ranging collection of disorders including but not restricted to varicose veins, peripheral artery disease, restless legs syndrome, multiple sclerosis, venous insufficiency.

  6. Central nervous system fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Nervous_System_Fatigue

    Central nervous system fatigue, or central fatigue, is a form of fatigue that is associated with changes in the synaptic concentration of neurotransmitters within the central nervous system (CNS; including the brain and spinal cord) which affects exercise performance and muscle function and cannot be explained by peripheral factors that affect muscle function.

  7. Mass–energy equivalence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass–energy_equivalence

    Mass–energy equivalence states that all objects having mass, or massive objects, have a corresponding intrinsic energy, even when they are stationary.In the rest frame of an object, where by definition it is motionless and so has no momentum, the mass and energy are equal or they differ only by a constant factor, the speed of light squared (c 2).

  8. Obesity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity

    Health consequences fall into two broad categories: those attributable to the effects of increased fat mass (such as osteoarthritis, obstructive sleep apnea, social stigmatization) and those due to the increased number of fat cells (diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease).

  9. Mass generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_generation

    The low-energy limit of this theory suggests an effective potential for the Higgs sector that is different from the Standard Model's, yet it yields the mass generation. [ 19 ] [ 20 ] Under certain conditions, this potential gives rise to an elementary particle with a role and characteristics similar to the Higgs boson .
