On Earth, gravity pulls everything toward the planet’s center, so we stay on the ground instead of floating into space! Gravity also keeps the planets in our solar system orbiting around the sun. The bigger something is, the stronger its gravity. So, Earth’s gravity is much stronger ...
A unique task for the three pilot-turned taikonauts is to create an "aquarium" and raise fish in zero gravity. They will create a simplified version of an aquatic ecosystem using zebrafish and algae to study how the space environment affects their growth and system balance. The "aquarium" is...
From the discovery of gravity to the first mission to defend Earth from an asteroid, here are the most important physics experiments that changed the world.When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. (...
The silicon nitride window was fabricated in the micro-fabrication centre of the National Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures, and the numerical calculations were performed on the computing facilities at the High Performance Computing Center of Nanjing University. This work was supported by the ...
∇θ, where v is the 3D velocity field, kˆ is the unit vector pointing in the vertical direction, g is the sum of gravity and the centrifugal accelerations, ω is the angular speed of the Earth's rotation, θ=T/π is the potential temperature, π=(p/p0)κ is the Exner ...
An X-ray microtomography (µCT) system was adapted so that 3D scans of fixed horizontal or vertical test sections can be performed. The mobile µCT
where \({{\varvec{k}}}_{{\varvec{m}}}\) is the intrinsic permeability of the rock matrix, \({\rho }_{f}\) is the fluid density, \(\mathbf{g}\) is the gravity vector, \(\phi\) is rock porosity, and \({K}_{m}\) is the bulk modulus of rock matrix material (i.e....
In this section the motion of a partially filled cylindrical container of radiusRis studied using the shallow-water approximation. We use cylindrical polar coordinates(r,θ,z)with the origin at the center of the free surface and thez-axis directed upward antiparallel to gravity, with corresponding...
The Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) refers to a collection of geophysical instruments deployed on the lunar surface by astronauts during the Apollo missions. It gathered data relevant to the lunar interior, including gravity and magnetic field measurements, seismic experiments, and heat...
