In this geometry, thegravitationalaccelerationis directed in the -y -direction.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Gravitationalaccelerationis neglected since typical values of the centripetal acceleration far exceed it.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The parameter wing loading is defined as the product of diaspore's mass andgravitationalaccelerationdivided by its wing area.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In sum, we have to reject the falsifiable hypothesis that observers have internalized detailed knowledge about the rate ofgravitationalacceleration.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The magnitude of thegravitationalaccelerationis nearly constant over the entire fluid domain.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Thegravitationalaccelerationof magnitude g is assumed to point in the negative y -direction.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Unfortunately, the experimental tests regarding most candidate regularities, such asgravitationalacceleration, fail to support the concept of internalization.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The target articles consider, for instance, object constancy, theorems of kinematic geometry,gravitationalacceleration, and so on.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Unfortunately, the other good candidates, such as the constantgravitationalaccelerationof falling bodies, do not seem to support the notion of successful internalization.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Instabilities observed on the interface had an appearance analogous to those found on the lower side of a plate in an adversegravitationalacceleration.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Observers do not behave as if they make use of knowledge aboutgravitationalacceleration, or the law of horizontal liquid surfaces.
From theCambridge English Corpus
If observers judge the absolute size of an object more accurately when they see it fall, they may use implicit knowledge aboutgravitationalaccelerationto perform this task.
From theCambridge English Corpus
My naive first reaction to the thought of experimental science in space was that, since thegravitationalaccelerationthere would be zero, the physics would be simpler, possibly even boring.
From theCambridge English Corpus
G is thegravitationalaccelerationvector.
From theCambridge English Corpus
If we assume a spherical pressure vessel, the pressure vessel itself will not contribute to thegravitationalaccelerationmeasured by an accelerometer inside the shell.
From
Wikipedia
As a consequence, for example, within a shell of uniform thickness and density there is "no net"gravitationalaccelerationanywhere within the hollow sphere.
From
Wikipedia
It may be noted that the above equation implies thatgravitationalaccelerationis a constant over z since it is placed outside of the integral.
From
Wikipedia
In reality,gravitationalacceleration(symbol: "g") varies slightly with latitude, elevation and subsurface density; these variations are typically only a few tenths of a percent.
