Force equals
mass times acceleration.
Force equals
mass times acceleration, and objects with a smaller mass have a greater acceleration (and vice versa).
Force equals
mass times acceleration.
«Force equals
mass times acceleration,» Steele says.
Now remember that force equals
mass times acceleration and there is a whole lot of mass to go along with the acceleration, so the overall force isn't going to smash open the planet, but it's enough to smash through a crustacean's armor to inject some poison.
All high school physics students can tell you that force equals
mass times acceleration, and a 6 - 2, 210 - pound safety who runs a 4.5 40 is going to deliver a significantly more dangerous hit than a 5 - 10, 160 - pound safety who runs a 5.2.
Not exact matches
(i) in classical or relativistic mechanics,
mass is only assessed in the context of possible
accelerations, which in turn require the context of a continuous
time interval;
Rodriguez's
acceleration times Bonds's
mass equaled the force of one of the most exciting groundouts to first base you've ever seen, most likely foreshadowing more classic confrontations in this Series.
What they found was surprising: The
mass behind the orbital
acceleration of a galaxy's clouds was five
times larger than the
mass of the stuff you could see — stars and gas — spread across the galaxy.
At the same
time, the reduced unsprung
masses improve the handling and the
acceleration and braking response.
However, I would keep in mind the fact that over a decade's
time, we have seen more than a doubling of the rate of loss of
mass balance in Greenland, a tripling in icequakes, the warming of the West Antarctic Peninsula resulting in the
acceleration of glaciers, the accelerating loss of global glacier
mass balance, etc..
Velicogna (2014) Regional
acceleration in ice
mass loss from Greenland and Antarctica using GRACE
time - variable gravity data.
In comparison the steric component of sea level shows an
acceleration of 0.006 mm · yr − 2 and
mass loss of glaciers accelerates at 0.003 mm · yr − 2 over 200 year long
time series.
We use our
acceleration estimates to back calculate to a
time of zero velocity, which coincides with the initiation of ice loss in Iceland from ice
mass balance calculations and Arctic warming trends.
Estimates of the decadal variability in ice sheet
mass loss (11) suggest the impact on
acceleration estimates is ∼ 0.014 mm / y2 for a 25 - y
time series, in the absence of rapid dynamical changes in the ice sheets.
However, detecting
acceleration is difficult because of (i) interannual variability in GMSL largely driven by changes in terrestrial water storage (TWS)(7 ⇓ — 9), (ii) decadal variability in TWS (10), thermosteric sea level, and ice sheet
mass loss (11) that might masquerade as a long - term
acceleration over a 25 - y record, (iii) episodic variability driven by large volcanic eruptions (12), and (iv) errors in the altimeter data, in particular, potential drifts in the instruments over
time (13).
Jupiter is (from memory) a bit over 5
times the distance from the sun as Earth is; thus, with about 1/1000 the
mass of the sun, the gravitational
acceleration of the Earth toward the sun due to the sun's
mass is about 1000 * (4 to 6) ^ 2 = 16,000 to 36,000
times that of it's
acceleration toward Jupiter due to Jupiter's
mass, whereas if the Earth were accelerating toward the barycenter of the Sun - Jupiter system, shouldn't that ratio should be ~ 1000 * 1 / (4 to 6) = 250 to ~ 167?
