What Changes When Gravity Changes (Tides, part 4) Tom Van Baak, tvb@LeapSecond.com Let us consider what happens to a pendulum clock when gravity changes by a small amount due to tides. Given T ≈ 2π√L/g we know what happens to period. What effect, if any, is there on amplitude...
This implies that changing wind may not reorient the entire dune, but rather initiate the formation of new (and much smaller) dunes that slowly cannibalize the underlying larger dune as they grow — as observed for fluvial dunes in response to rapid changes in flow44,45. Second is the ...
When you have big hills or mountains like we have in this area, you create a set up for these gravity waves to occur. As air blows across hilly or mountainous topography, it encounters changes in air density. This forces air upward. If that hits an inversion, or warm layer aloft that ...

where m is an object's mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Acceleration due to gravity on Earth, is 9.8 m/s² — it never changes, regardless of an object's mass. That's why if you were to drop a pebble, a book and a couch off a roof, they'd hit the ground ...
In Some Universes, the changes may be slight. You didn't make a fool of yourself the other night. At the other extreme, Nazi Germany won the Second World War as how Robert Harris envisaged in his book Ref: Fatherland. The television series Sliders, starring Jerry O'Connell, takes this ...

The safety of vulnerable coastal and offshore infrastructures requires an in-depth understanding of wave variability and climate drivers. We investigate th
E What Sirois and his postgraduate assistant Lain Jackson are challenging is the interpretation of a variety of classic experiments begun in the mid-1980s in which babies were shown physical events that appeared to violate such basic concepts as gravity, solidity and contiguity. In one such expe...
