Industry:Aerospace
Unit of gravity field measurement corresponding to a gravitational acceleration of 1 cm/sec2.
Industry:Aerospace
A thousandth of the metric standard unit of mass (see kg). The gram was originally based upon the weight of a cubic centimeter of water, which still approximates the current value.
Industry:Aerospace
Constant at any given place, the value of g varies from object to object (e.g. Planets), and also with the distance from the center of the object. The relationship between the two constants is: g = GM/r2 where r is the radius of separation between the masses' centers, and M is the mass of the primary body (e.g. A planet). At Earth's surface, the value of g = 9.8 meters per second per second (9.8m/s2). See also weight.
Industry:Aerospace
Its tiny value (G = 6.6726 x 10-11 Nm2/kg2) is unchanging throughout the universe.
Industry:Aerospace
The phenomenon of emitting light upon absorbing radiation of an invisible wavelength.
Industry:Aerospace
Two commonly used units of force are the Newton and the dyne. Force = Mass X Acceleration.
