Gauss's law for gravity

In physics, Gauss's law for gravity, also known as Gauss's flux theorem for gravity, is a law of physics that is equivalent to Newton's law of universal gravitation. It is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss. It states that the flux (surface integral) of the gravitational field over any closed surface is proportional to the mass enclosed. Gauss's law for gravity is often more convenient to work from than Newton's law. The form of Gauss's law for gravity is mathematically similar to Gauss's law for electrostatics, one of Maxwell's equations.

Quadrivitesse

En physique, en particulier en relativité restreinte et en relativité générale, la quadrivitesse d'un objet est un quadrivecteur généralisant le vecteur vitesse en mécanique classique. La quadrivitesse est une des notions que le mathématicien et physicien allemand Hermann Minkowski (-) a introduites dans le cadre de sa reformulation géométrique de la relativité restreinte d'Albert Einstein (-). La quadrivitesse est ainsi désignée car elle est le quadrivecteur qui généralise la notion de vitesse de la mécanique newtonienne.

Proper acceleration

In relativity theory, proper acceleration is the physical acceleration (i.e., measurable acceleration as by an accelerometer) experienced by an object. It is thus acceleration relative to a free-fall, or inertial, observer who is momentarily at rest relative to the object being measured. Gravitation therefore does not cause proper acceleration, because the same gravity acts equally on the inertial observer. As a consequence, all inertial observers always have a proper acceleration of zero.

Proper velocity

In relativity, proper velocity (also known as celerity) w of an object relative to an observer is the ratio between observer-measured displacement vector and proper time τ elapsed on the clocks of the traveling object: It is an alternative to ordinary velocity, the distance per unit time where both distance and time are measured by the observer. The two types of velocity, ordinary and proper, are very nearly equal at low speeds. However, at high speeds proper velocity retains many of the properties that velocity loses in relativity compared with Newtonian theory.

Pesanteur

Le champ de pesanteur est le champ attractif qui s'exerce sur tout corps doté d'une masse sur la Terre (ou un autre astre). Il s'agit d'un champ d'accélération, souvent appelé plus simplement pesanteur ou « g ». L'essentiel de la pesanteur terrestre est due à la gravité, mais s'en distingue du fait de l'accélération axifuge induite par la rotation de la Terre sur elle-même. La gravité terrestre découle de la loi universelle de la gravitation de Newton, selon laquelle tous les corps massifs, dont les corps célestes et la Terre, exercent un champ de gravitation responsable d'une force attractive sur les autres corps massiques.
