acceleration potential
1potential energy — n the energy that a piece of matter has because of its position or because of the arrangement of parts * * * the energy that a body has due to its position, equal to the work required to move the body to that position from some reference… …
2Potential energy — This article is about a form of energy in physics. For the statistical method, see Potential energy statistics. Classical mechanics Newton s Second Law …

4potential energy — the energy stored in a raised object (e.g. the weights in a grandfather clock). Potential energy equals mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration of gravity, and h is the vertical distance from a reference location. It is called potential… …
5Tidal acceleration — is an effect of the tidal forces between an orbiting natural satellite ( i.e. a moon), and the planet (called the primary) that it orbits. It causes a gradual recession of a satellite in a prograde orbit away from the primary, and a corresponding …
6Vestibular evoked myogenic potential — The vestibular evoked myogenic potential or VsEP is a neurophysiological assessment technique used to determine the function of the otolithic organs (utricle and saccule) of the inner ear. It complements the information provided by caloric… …
7Peak ground acceleration — (PGA) is a measure of earthquake acceleration on the ground and an important input parameter for earthquake engineering, also known as the design basis earthquake ground motion (DBEGM)[1] Unlike the Richter and moment magnitude scales, it is not… …
8Plasma acceleration — is a technique for accelerating charged particles, such as electrons, positrons and ions, using an electric field associated with an electron plasma wave. The wave is created by the passage of a very brief laser or electron pulse through the… …
