  2. g-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    The g-force acting on an object in any weightless environment such as free-fall in a vacuum is 0 g. The g-force acting on an object under acceleration can be much greater than 1 g, for example, the dragster pictured at top right can exert a horizontal g-force of 5.3 when accelerating.

  3. Gravitational acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_acceleration

    [2] [3] At different points on Earth's surface, the free fall acceleration ranges from 9.764 to 9.834 m/s 2 (32.03 to 32.26 ft/s 2), [4] depending on altitude, latitude, and longitude. A conventional standard value is defined exactly as 9.80665 m/s² (about 32.1740 ft/s²).

  4. Specific energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_energy

    Potential energy with respect to gravity, close to Earth, per unit mass: gh, where g is the acceleration due to gravity (standardized as ≈9.8 m/s 2) and h is the height above the reference level (giving J/kg when g is in m/s 2 and h is in m).

  5. Gravitational constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant

    The gravitational constant appears in the Einstein field equations of general relativity, [4] [5] + =, where G μν is the Einstein tensor (not the gravitational constant despite the use of G), Λ is the cosmological constant, g μν is the metric tensor, T μν is the stress–energy tensor, and κ is the Einstein gravitational constant, a ...

  6. Orders of magnitude (energy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(energy)

    Kinetic energy of 7.26 kg [91] standard men's shot thrown at 14.7 m/s [citation needed] by the world record holder Randy Barnes [92] 8.01×10 2 J Amount of work needed to lift a man with an average weight (81.7 kg) one meter above Earth (or any planet with Earth gravity) 10 3: kilo-(kJ) 1.1×10 3 J

  7. Grammage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammage

    Expressed in grams (g) per square metre (g/m 2), regardless of its thickness [1] (known as grammage). This is the measure used in most parts of the world. It is often notated as gsm on paper product labels and spec sheets. Expressed in terms of the mass per number of sheets of a specific paper size (known as basis weight).

  8. Earth mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_mass

    An Earth mass (denoted as M 🜨, M ♁ or M E, where 🜨 and ♁ are the astronomical symbols for Earth), is a unit of mass equal to the mass of the planet Earth.The current best estimate for the mass of Earth is M 🜨 = 5.9722 × 10 24 kg, with a relative uncertainty of 10 −4. [2]

  9. Gray (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_(unit)

    The measurement of absorbed dose is a complex problem due to scattering and absorption, and many specialist dosimeters are available for these measurements, and can cover applications in 1-D, 2-D and 3-D. [4] [5] [6]
