  2. Standard gravitational parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_gravitational...

    The standard gravitational parameter μ of a celestial body is the product of the gravitational constant G and the mass M of that body. For two bodies, the parameter may be expressed as G ( m 1 + m 2 ) , or as GM when one body is much larger than the other: μ = G ( M + m ) ≈ G M . {\displaystyle \mu =G(M+m)\approx GM.}

  3. Sound power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_power

    Sound power or acoustic power is the rate at which sound energy is emitted, reflected, transmitted or received, per unit time. [1] It is defined [2] as "through a surface, the product of the sound pressure, and the component of the particle velocity, at a point on the surface in the direction normal to the surface, integrated over that surface."

  4. Mean motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_motion

    where μ is the standard gravitational parameter, a constant for any particular gravitational system. If the mean motion is given in units of radians per unit of time, we can combine it into the above definition of the Kepler's 3rd law, = (),

  5. Standard gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_gravity

    The standard acceleration of gravity or standard acceleration of free fall, often called simply standard gravity and denoted by ɡ 0 or ɡ n, is the nominal gravitational acceleration of an object in a vacuum near the surface of the Earth. It is a constant defined by standard as 9.806 65 m/s 2 (about 32.174 05 ft/s 2).

    universal gravitational constant: newton meter squared per kilogram squared (N⋅m 2 /kg 2) shear modulus: pascal (Pa) or newton per square meter (N/m 2) acceleration due to gravity: meters per second squared (m/s 2), or equivalently, newtons per kilogram (N/kg) magnetic field strength: ampere per meter (A/m)

  7. Gravitational constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant

    The quantity GM —the product of the gravitational constant and the mass of a given astronomical body such as the Sun or Earth—is known as the standard gravitational parameter (also denoted μ). The standard gravitational parameter GM appears as above in Newton's law of universal gravitation, as well as in formulas for the deflection of ...

  8. Orbital mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbital_mechanics

    The quantity is often termed the standard gravitational parameter, which has a different value for every planet or moon in the Solar System. Once the circular orbital velocity is known, the escape velocity is easily found by multiplying by 2 {\displaystyle {\sqrt {2}}} :

  9. Characteristic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_energy

    After reducing the problem to the relative motion of the bodies in the plane, he defines the constant of the motion c 3 by the equation ẋ 2 + ẏ 2 = 2k 2 M/r + c 3, where M is the total mass of the two bodies and k 2 is Moulton's notation for the gravitational constant. He defines c 1, c 2, and c 4 to be other constants of the
