1Atmospheric reentry — refers to the movement of human made or natural objects as they enter the atmosphere of a planet from outer space, in the case of Earth from an altitude above the edge of space. This article primarily addresses the process of controlled reentry… …
2Kerr metric — In general relativity, the Kerr metric (or Kerr vacuum) describes the geometry of spacetime around a rotating massive body. According to this metric, such rotating bodies should exhibit frame dragging, an unusual prediction of general relativity; …

6Stokes' law — In 1851, George Gabriel Stokes derived an expression, now known as Stokes law, for the frictional force also called drag force exerted on spherical objects with very small Reynolds numbers (e.g., very small particles) in a continuous viscous… …

8Centrifugal force — Not to be confused with Centripetal force. Classical mechanics Newton s Second Law …
9Oort constants — The Oort constants (discovered by Jan Oort) A and B are empirically derived parameters that characterize the local rotational properties of our galaxy, the Milky Way, in the following manner: where V0 and R0 are the rotational velocity and… …
10Centrifugal force (rotating reference frame) — This article is about the fictitious force related to rotating reference frames. For other uses, see Centrifugal force. Classical mechanics …
