This is often described as "the acceleration due to gravity". Is this really the best thing to call this? No. A better name would be "the local gravitational field" and list it in units of: ...

I was assuming he got his gun out into orbit at a reasonable distance before firing. It takes about 42km/s to escape the Sun's gravity at 1 AU. If the gun is matching Earth's speed at 32km/s and ...

The acceleration that we experience due to Earth’s gravity is known as “1g” (pronounced “one gee”), which exerts a force on all objects equal to our mass times that acceleration: Newton ...

But until we discover a particle (or set of particles) with negative gravitational mass, artificial gravity will only be brought about through acceleration, no matter how clever we are.

AN absolute determination of the acceleration due to gravity at a site in the National Physical Laboratory has recently been completed. It is the first to be made by timing the symmetrical up-and ...
