  2. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

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

    The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them: [11] Diagram of two masses attracting one another = where F is the force between the masses; G is the Newtonian constant of gravitation (6.674 × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2);

  3. Gravitational constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant

    In Newton's law, it is the proportionality constant connecting the gravitational force between two bodies with the product of their masses and the inverse square of their distance. In the Einstein field equations , it quantifies the relation between the geometry of spacetime and the energy–momentum tensor (also referred to as the stress ...

  4. Orders of magnitude (mass) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(mass)

    An overview of ranges of mass. To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following lists describe various mass levels between 10 −67 kg and 10 52 kg. The least massive thing listed here is a graviton, and the most massive thing is the observable universe.

  5. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    During the first 0.05 s the ball drops one unit of distance (about 12 mm), by 0.10 s it has dropped at total of 4 units, by 0.15 s 9 units, and so on. Near the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.807 m/s 2 ( metres per second squared , which might be thought of as "metres per second, per second"; or 32.18 ft/s 2 as "feet ...

  6. Jagdgeschwader 26 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagdgeschwader_26

    Jagdgeschwader 26 was one of the earliest fighter units of the Luftwaffe. Its creation began in early 1937. A plan dated 14 March 1936 by Hermann Göring, at the time Reichsminister der Luftfahrt (Minister of Aviation) and Oberbefehlshaber der Luftwaffe (Commander in Chief of the Luftwaffe), foresaw the creation of two light fighter groups in Luftkreis IV, a territorial Luftwaffe unit with its ...

  7. Gravitational potential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_potential

    The potential has units of energy per mass, e.g., J/kg in the MKS system. By convention, it is always negative where it is defined, and as x tends to infinity, it approaches zero. The gravitational field , and thus the acceleration of a small body in the space around the massive object, is the negative gradient of the gravitational potential.

  8. Standard gravity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_gravity

    Although the symbol ɡ is sometimes used for standard gravity, ɡ (without a suffix) can also mean the local acceleration due to local gravity and centrifugal acceleration, which varies depending on one's position on Earth (see Earth's gravity). The symbol ɡ should not be confused with G, the gravitational constant, or g, the symbol for gram.

  9. Gauss (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauss_(unit)

    Carl Friedrich Gauß in 1828, aged 50 years old. The gauss (symbol: G, sometimes Gs) is a unit of measurement of magnetic induction, also known as magnetic flux density.The unit is part of the Gaussian system of units, which inherited it from the older centimetre–gram–second electromagnetic units (CGS-EMU) system.
