The constantGis a quantity with the physical dimensions (length)3/(mass)(time)2; its numerical value depends on the physical units of length, mass, and time used. (Gis discussed more fully insubsequentsections.) The force acts in the direction of the line joining the two bodies and so is...
In many situations, an angular velocity—usually symbolized by the Greek letteromega(ω)—is equally well regarded as afrequency, and the choice of terms depends upon the particular aspect of a system being considered. Thus, in electrical engineering, the rotational speed of a generator might be...
Gravity is the force of attraction between any two objects in the universe. That force depends on two factors: the mass of each object and the distance between them. Historical background The story behind English physicist Isaac Newton's (1642–1727) discovery of the gravitational force is one...
Enlightenment hegemony over the Western intellectual outlook, which can be summarized briefly as follows: that there exists an external world, whose properties are independent of any individual human being and indeed of humanity as a whole; that these properties are encoded in ``eternal'' physical ...
The depth and shape of this zone depends on the classifier action and on the feed pulp density. Above the quicksand is a zone of essentially free-settling material, comprising a stream of pulp flowing horizontally across the top of the quicksand zone from the feed inlet to the overflow weir...
Chapter 10-2 Friction and Gravity Friction Force of Friction – caused by two surfaces rubbing Strength: depends on 1) how hard the surfaces are pushed together 2) types of surfaces Direction: Opposite to direction of motion Types of Friction Static Friction – friction that acts when an ...
In environments where orientation is ambiguous, the visual system uses prior knowledge about lighting coming from above to recognize objects, determine which way is up, and reorient the body. Here we investigated the extent with which assumed light from
The intensity of the TMS electromagnetic pulse required to activate the motor cortex depends on several factors, including cortical excitability and scalp to cortex distance. The minimum amount of electromagnetic power required to move the thumb is known as the resting motor threshold (rMT)7. The ...
The parameters of a suitable choice of orbits for the NGGM Bender constellation are provided in Table 2. Table 2. Orbital parameters of a Bender constellation suitable for the NGGM. The selection of the inter-satellite distance depends on the spatial wavelengths of the gravity field to be re...
The quality of marine gravity recovery relies on the accuracy and resolution of accumulated multi-satellite altimetry data, which are mainly decided by the following factors as commonly known: (1) altimeter range precision, which is related to the altimeter system characteristics [11]; (2) spatial...
