His style of play embodied Newton's second law of motion: force equal to mass times acceleration.
Six nine-muscled motors gave it acceleration almost equal to that of the light vehicle; a Callistan driver in a Cal-listan vehicle gave it the needed edge.
An acceleration lasting greater than or equal to 10 minutes is defined as a baseline change.
Before the 1990 revision, elevated structures were designed to withstand an acceleration equal to 20 percent that of gravity.
And that would imply that all bodies would experience equal acceleration towards the ground.
Force is equal to the product of mass times acceleration.
The SLAMMD measures the on-orbit mass of the crewmembers by applying Newton's second law of motion (force is equal to mass times acceleration).
At 2 Gs, your body will feel heavy (actually, because weight is equal to mass times acceleration (g), at 2 Gs you'll feel twice your body weight).
This upward net force then gives the ball an acceleration equal to that of the elevator.
A body in free fall (which by definition entails no aerodynamic forces) near the surface of the earth has an acceleration approximately equal to 10 m s with respect to a coordinate frame tied to the earth.
