  2. Gravity of Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_of_Earth

    In a spherically symmetric Earth, gravity would point directly towards the sphere's centre. As the Earth's figure is slightly flatter, there are consequently significant deviations in the direction of gravity: essentially the difference between geodetic latitude and geocentric latitude .

  3. Scale height - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_height

    Combining these equations gives = /, which can then be incorporated with the equation for H given above to give =, which will not change unless the temperature does. Integrating the above and assuming P 0 is the pressure at height z = 0 (pressure at sea level ), the pressure at height z can be written as P = P 0 exp ⁡ ( − z H ...

  4. g-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    The unit definition does not vary with location—the g-force when standing on the Moon is almost exactly 1 ⁄ 6 that on Earth. The unit g is not one of the SI units, which uses "g" for gram. Also, " g " should not be confused with " G ", which is the standard symbol for the gravitational constant . [ 6 ]

  5. Free fall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_fall

    The data is in good agreement with the predicted fall time of /, where h is the height and g is the free-fall acceleration due to gravity. Near the surface of the Earth, an object in free fall in a vacuum will accelerate at approximately 9.8 m/s 2 , independent of its mass .

  6. Gaussian quadrature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_quadrature

    The Gaussian quadrature chooses more suitable points instead, so even a linear function approximates the function better (the black dashed line). As the integrand is the third-degree polynomial y(x) = 7x 3 – 8x 2 – 3x + 3, the 2-point Gaussian quadrature rule even returns an exact result.

  7. Scientific notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_notation

    A Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus calculator display showing the Avogadro constant to three significant figures in E notation. The first pocket calculators supporting scientific notation appeared in 1972. [14] To enter numbers in scientific notation calculators include a button labeled "EXP" or "×10 x", among other variants.

  8. Google Search - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Search

    Approximately 26.75% of Google's monthly global traffic comes from the United States, 4.44% from India, 4.4% from Brazil, 3.92% from the United Kingdom and 3.84% from Japan according to data provided by Similarweb. [4] The order of search results returned by Google is based, in part, on a priority rank system called "PageRank". Google Search ...

  9. Easter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter

    Easter, [nb 1] also called Pascha [nb 2] (Aramaic, Greek, Latin) or Resurrection Sunday, [nb 3] is a Christian festival and cultural holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, described in the New Testament as having occurred on the third day of his burial following his crucifixion by the Romans at Calvary c. 30 AD.
