  2. g-force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    Combining this with the vertical g-force in the stationary case using the Pythagorean theorem yields a g-force of 5.4 g. The g-force or gravitational force equivalent is a mass-specific force (force per unit mass), expressed in units of standard gravity (symbol g or g 0, not to be confused with "g", the symbol for grams).

  3. Negative energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_energy

    The negative-energy particle then crosses the event horizon into the black hole, with the law of conservation of energy requiring that an equal amount of positive energy should escape. In the Penrose process , a body divides in two, with one half gaining negative energy and falling in, while the other half gains an equal amount of positive ...

  4. Air time (rides) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_time_(rides)

    Zero-G (where the net vertical G-force is 0) is achieved when the downward acceleration of the train is equal to that due to gravity; where the downward acceleration is greater, negative Gs arise. [citation needed] The zero-gravity roll is a roll specifically designed to create the effect of weightlessness and thereby produce air time.

  5. Weightlessness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weightlessness

    In Newtonian physics, the sensation of weightlessness experienced by astronauts is not the result of there being zero gravitational acceleration (as seen from the Earth), but of there being no g-force that an astronaut can feel because of the free-fall condition, and also there being zero difference between the acceleration of the spacecraft ...

  6. Characteristic energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_energy

    The characteristic energy with respect to Sun was negative, and MAVEN – instead of heading to infinity – entered an elliptical orbit around the Sun. But the maximal velocity on the new orbit could be approximated to 33.5 km/s by assuming that it reached practical "infinity" at 3.5 km/s and that such Earth-bound "infinity" also moves with ...

  7. Aerospace physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerospace_physiology

    This includes positive g-force, negative g-force and zero g-force, caused by simple acceleration, deceleration and centripetal acceleration. When an airplane turns, centripetal acceleration is determined by ƒ=mv2/r. This indicates that if speed increases, centripetal acceleration force also increases in proportion to the square of the speed. [5]

  8. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    The Ehrenfest theorem provides a connection between quantum expectation values and the classical concept of force, a connection that is necessarily inexact, as quantum physics is fundamentally different from classical. In quantum physics, the Born rule is used to calculate the expectation values of a position measurement or a momentum ...

  9. 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).
