In part, too, the book is true to its title: it's a companionable reference guide to the technology involved in building a spacecraft, getting it off the ground, and navigating it beyond the confines of Earth's gravity.
The fighting scenes are brief, unadorned, and confined within the realm of gravity.
In the air they experience a sense of freedom, both vaulters said, a temporary release from the attachment of gravity and the confines of public doubt.
In effect, the system is close to 2D hydrodynamic focusing, where the combination of gravity and 1D hydrodynamic focusing confines the cells in both vertical and horizontal position in the channel.
It's center-of-gravity music.
Further, the confined environment of the ship and the lack of gravity could pose additional challenges for neonatal care.
Quidditch players might be confined by a lack of gravity-defying magic, but they are not confined by real numbers.
The effects of gravity on opposed-flow flame spread in a confined geometry were investigated experimentally in the 2.2-s drop tower at the NASA Glenn Research Center.
Stars have a sufficiently large mass to contain the hydrogen plasma by the force of gravity alone, but we don't have that option, so physicists have to confine plasma using electromagnetism instead.
In addition to the interparticle forces, which interact through a Yukawa potential, the model includes the effects of gravity, the variation of the sheath potential above the powered electrode, and a radial confining potential.
