  2. Gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity

    In physics, gravity (from Latin gravitas 'weight' [1]) is a fundamental interaction which causes mutual attraction between all things that have mass. Gravity is, by far, the weakest of the four fundamental interactions, approximately 10 38 times weaker than the strong interaction, 10 36 times weaker than the electromagnetic force and 10 29 ...

  3. Center of mass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_of_mass

    In physics, the center of mass of a distribution of mass in space (sometimes referred to as the barycenter or balance point) is the unique point at any given time where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero. This is the point to which a force may be applied to cause a linear acceleration without an angular ...

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

    t. e. Newton's law of universal gravitation says that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. Separated objects attract and are attracted as if all their mass were concentrated at ...

  5. Barycenter (astronomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycenter_(astronomy)

    t. e. In astronomy, the barycenter (or barycentre; from Ancient Greek βαρύς (barús) 'heavy', and κέντρον (kéntron) 'center') [1] is the center of mass of two or more bodies that orbit one another and is the point about which the bodies orbit. A barycenter is a dynamical point, not a physical object. It is an important concept in ...

  6. Gravitation of the Moon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitation_of_the_Moon

    Gravitation of the Moon. The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is approximately 1.625 m/s 2, about 16.6% that on Earth's surface or 0.166 ɡ. [1] Over the entire surface, the variation in gravitational acceleration is about 0.0253 m/s 2 (1.6% of the acceleration due to gravity). Because weight is directly dependent upon ...

  7. Buoyancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy

    e. Buoyancy ( / ˈbɔɪənsi, ˈbuːjənsi / ), [1] [2] or upthrust, is a gravitational force, a net upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of a partially or fully immersed object. In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid. Thus, the pressure at the bottom of a column ...
