As is well known, an uneven distribution of gravitational forces in the vertical can give rise to convective instability.
There is no way to distinguish the motion produced by inertial forces (Accereration, Recoil, Centrifugal Force, etc) frpm motion produced by gravitational force.
2. This is evident when flying an airplane.
For example, the large gravitational force of the giant planet Jupiter is able to retain light gases such as hydrogen and helium that escape from lower gravity objects.
terminal velocity.) The particular falling speed, for any given object moving through a fluid medium of specified physical properties, at which the drag forces and buoyant forces exerted by the fluid on the object just equal the gravitational force ...
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE: The atmospheric pressure at a given point due to the gravitational force on the column of air above it.
BAUD: A unit used in describing the rate of character transmission and equal to approximately one bit per second.
Astronomic Tide: Periodic variation of the oceans, caused by gravitational forces of the stars mainly from the moon and sun.
Atmosphere: The mass of air involving the Earth.
Period Decay (aka decay) The tendency of a satellite to lose orbital velocity due to the influence of atmospheric drag and gravitational forces. A decaying object eventually impacts the surface of the Earth or burns up in the atmosphere.
There is also the gravitational force -ρg, but this is usually balanced by buoyancy; when it is not, it must also be included. If the path of the air is curved, it is also subject to the centrifugal force v2/r.
