Difference between Parabola and Weightlessness

Parabola vs. Weightlessness

In mathematics, a parabola is a plane curve which is mirror-symmetrical and is approximately U-shaped. Weightlessness, or an absence of weight, is an absence of stress and strain resulting from externally applied mechanical contact-forces, typically normal forces (from floors, seats, beds, scales, etc.). Counterintuitively, a uniform gravitational field does not by itself cause stress or strain, and a body in free fall in such an environment experiences no g-force acceleration and feels weightless.

Similarities between Parabola and Weightlessness

Parabola and Weightlessness have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cross section (geometry), Drag (physics), Free fall, Gravitational field, NASA, Reduced-gravity aircraft, Trajectory.

Cross section (geometry)

In geometry and science, a cross section is the non-empty intersection of a solid body in three-dimensional space with a plane, or the analog in higher-dimensional spaces.

Drag (physics)

In fluid dynamics, drag (sometimes called air resistance, a type of friction, or fluid resistance, another type of friction or fluid friction) is a force acting opposite to the relative motion of any object moving with respect to a surrounding fluid.

Free fall

In Newtonian physics, free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it.

Gravitational field

In physics, a gravitational field is a model used to explain the influence that a massive body extends into the space around itself, producing a force on another massive body.

NASA

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the executive branch of the United States federal government responsible for the civilian space program, as well as aeronautics and aerospace research.

Reduced-gravity aircraft

A reduced-gravity aircraft is a type of fixed-wing aircraft that provides brief near-weightless environments for training astronauts, conducting research and making gravity-free movie shots.

Parabola and Weightlessness Comparison

Parabola has 161 relations, while Weightlessness has 135. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 2.36% = 7 / (161 + 135).
