WordDefinition
gravitational massnoun(physics) The mass of an object as measured by its interaction with gravity; it is equal to its inertial mass.
passive gravitational massnoun(physics) The mass of an object measured via the gravitational force experienced by it in a known gravitational field
active gravitational massnoun(physics) The mass of an object measured via the gravitational force that it exerts
rest massnoun(physics) The mass of a body when it is not moving relative to an observer.
inertial framenoun(physics) Ellipsis of inertial frame of reference. [(physics) A frame of reference that is stationary relative to a body moving at constant velocity and on which no force is being exerted.]
massnoun(physical) Matter, material.
vis inertiaenounThe natural resistance of matter to any force acting on it.
moment of inertianoun(physics, classical mechanics) A measure of a rigid body's resistance to change in its angular velocity around a given axis.
weightnounThe downwards force an object experiences due to gravity.
inertial frame of referencenoun(physics) A frame of reference that is stationary relative to a body moving at constant velocity and on which no force is being exerted.
isomassnoun(physics) A condition of having the same mass.
restmassnounAlternative spelling of rest mass. [(physics) The mass of a body when it is not moving relative to an observer.]
momentumnoun(physics) Of a body in motion: the tendency of a body to maintain its inertial motion; the product of its mass and velocity, or the vector sum of the products of its masses and velocities.
eigenmassnoun(physics) A mass whose value is that of a corresponding eigenvalue.
gravity meternoun(physics) An instrument that measures the local acceleration due to gravity (strength of the gravitational field).
relativistic massnoun(physics) The increased mass of an object moving at relativistic speed relative to an observer.
mass energynoun(physics) The energy present in an object because of its mass
gravitational constantnoun(physics) Any of several empirical physical constants involved in the calculation of the gravitational attraction between objects with mass. Newtonian and Einsteinian variants exist.
weight measurenoun(sciences) A measure or unit to express an object's weight, which is directly proportional to its mass when the gravity is fixed (as commonly but imprecisely presumed on earth's surface.)
angular momentumnoun(physics) The vector product that describes the rotary inertia of a system about an axis and is conserved in a closed system. For an isolated rigid body, it is a measure of the extent to which an object will continue to rotate in the absence of an applied torque.
