  2. g-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    With compressive force counted as negative tensile force, the rate of change of the tensile force in the direction of the g-force, per unit mass (the change between parts of the object such that the slice of the object between them has unit mass), is equal to the g-force plus the non-gravitational external forces on the slice, if any (counted ...

  3. Gravitational constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant

    The accuracy of the measured value of G has increased only modestly since the original Cavendish experiment. [19] G is quite difficult to measure because gravity is much weaker than other fundamental forces, and an experimental apparatus cannot be separated from the gravitational influence of other bodies.

  4. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_universal...

    Newton's law of gravitation resembles Coulomb's law of electrical forces, which is used to calculate the magnitude of the electrical force arising between two charged bodies. Both are inverse-square laws, where force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the bodies. Coulomb's law has charge in place of mass and a ...

  5. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    A set of equations describing the trajectories of objects subject to a constant gravitational force under normal Earth-bound conditions.Assuming constant acceleration g due to Earth's gravity, Newton's law of universal gravitation simplifies to F = mg, where F is the force exerted on a mass m by the Earth's gravitational field of strength g.

  6. g-factor (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-factor_(physics)

    The spin magnetic moment of a charged, spin-1/2 particle that does not possess any internal structure (a Dirac particle) is given by [1] =, where μ is the spin magnetic moment of the particle, g is the g-factor of the particle, e is the elementary charge, m is the mass of the particle, and S is the spin angular momentum of the particle (with magnitude ħ/2 for Dirac particles).

  7. Physics of roller coasters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_of_roller_coasters

    showing gravity force and contact force commonly referred to as the g-force. G-forces (gravitational forces) create the so-called "butterfly" sensation felt as a car goes down a gradient. An acceleration of 1 standard gravity (9.8 m/s 2) is the usual force of Earth's gravitational pull exerted on a person while

    An iPad is a great tablet, but even during Cyber Monday, it costs about three times as much as the Amazon Fire HD tablet. This tablet can do nearly everything the iPad can — you can play games ...

  9. Escape velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_velocity

    G is the universal gravitational constant (G ≈ 6.67×10 −11 m 3 ·kg −1 ·s −2) g = GM/d 2 is the local gravitational acceleration (or the surface gravity, when d = r). The value GM is called the standard gravitational parameter, or μ, and is often known more accurately than either G or M separately.
