There are various methods to measure acceleration due to gravity. At Higher level all rely on one of the equations of motion. The measurements required will depend on the equation used. Watch this ...

Wide binary stars with separation greater than about 2000 astronomical units are interesting natural laboratories that allow a direct probe of gravity at low acceleration weaker than about 1 nanometer ...

Helmholtz Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR), which conducts long-term research in the fields of energy, health and matter, has announced the development of a new diagnostic tool specified for a ...

Researchers from SANKEN (The Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research), at Osaka University find a simple and elegant way to measure pressure and acceleration using the same device Osaka, Japan ...

Accelerometers are essential sensors used in a wide range of applications including shock and vibration testing, car safety systems, and today's hand-held consumer devices. Generally, they sense the ...

The equation F = ma is one of the most important in physics. Yet we have so far not explained how to get a quantitative operational definition of either mass or force. Somehow, from this one ...
