Normal height — Normal heights are heights above sea level, one of several types of height which are all computed slightly differently. Alternatives are: orthometric heights and dynamic heights. The normal height H * of a point is computed from geopotential… … Wikipedia
Gravity wave — In fluid dynamics, gravity waves are waves generated in a fluid medium or at the interface between two media (e.g. the atmosphere or ocean) which has the restoring force of gravity or buoyancy.When a fluid parcel is displaced on an interface or… … Wikipedia
Gravity anomaly — A gravity anomaly is the difference between the observed gravity and a value predicted from a model. Geodesy and geophysicsIn geodesy and geophysics, the usual model is the surface of a global spheroid (ellipsoid of Hayford or WGS84) by rather… … Wikipedia
Normal force — FN represents the normal force In mechanics, the normal force (occasionally N) is the component, perpendicular to the surface of contact, of the contact force exerted on an object by, for example, the surface of a floor or wall, preventing the… … Wikipedia
Gravity turn — A gravity turn or zero lift turn is a maneuver (see trajectory optimization) used in launching a spacecraft into, or descending from, an orbit around a celestial body such as a planet or a moon. This launch trajectory offers two main advantages… … Wikipedia
Gravity assist — In orbital mechanics and aerospace engineering, a gravitational slingshot, gravity assist or swing by is the use of the relative movement and gravity of a planet or other celestial body to alter the path and speed of a spacecraft, typically in… … Wikipedia
Gravity railroad — A Gravity railroad (US) or Gravity railway (UK) is a railroad on a slope that allow cars carrying minerals or passengers to coast down the slope by the force of gravity alone. The cars are then hauled back up the slope using animal power or a… … Wikipedia
