  2. 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).

  3. Universe Sandbox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe_Sandbox

    Universe Sandbox is a series of interactive space sandbox gravity simulator educational software video games.Using Universe Sandbox, users can see the effects of gravity on objects in the universe and run scale simulations of the Solar System, various galaxies or other simulations, while at the same time interacting and maintaining control over gravity, time, and other objects in the universe ...

  4. 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.

    Some 50 employees joined Amplify. Desmos Studio was spun off as a separate public benefit corporation focused on building calculator products and other math tools. [7] In May 2023, Desmos released a beta for a remade Geometry Tool. In it, geometrical shapes can be made, as well as expressions from the normal graphing calculator, with extra ...

  6. Metacentric height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacentric_height

    "G", is the center of gravity. "GM", the stiffness parameter of a boat, can be lengthened by lowering the center of gravity or changing the hull form (and thus changing the volume displaced and second moment of area of the waterplane) or both. An ideal boat strikes a balance.

  7. Orbital mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_mechanics

    A special case of this is the circular orbit, which is an ellipse of zero eccentricity. The formula for the velocity of a body in a circular orbit at distance r from the center of gravity of mass M can be derived as follows: Centrifugal acceleration matches the acceleration due to gravity.

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) -China-based DJI and Autel Robotics could be banned from selling new drones in the United States market under an annual military bill set to be voted on later this week by the ...

  9. Tidal circularization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tidal_circularization

    Although Ω is constant for one orbit, ω varies throughout the orbit. Figure 2 shows the path of one of the stars where G is the center of gravity of the system. When the objects are near apoapsis (red region of figure 2), ω<Ω which tries to speed up the orbit. The result of this torque makes the far side of the orbit (periapsis) farther out ...
