specific performance | the performance of a legal contract as specified by its terms |
dumb bomb gravity bomb | a bomb that falls because of gravity and is not guided to a target |
gravimeter gravity meter | a measuring instrument for measuring variations in the gravitational field of the earth |
specific | a medicine that has a mitigating effect on a specific disease, quinine is a specific for malaria |
graveness gravity sobriety soberness somberness sombreness | a manner that is serious and solemn |
specific gravity | the density of a substance relative to the density of water |
particular specific | a fact about some part (as opposed to general), he always reasons from the particular to the general |
theory of gravitation theory of gravity gravitational theory Newton's theory of gravitation | (physics) the theory that any two particles of matter attract one another with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them |
gravity wave gravitation wave | (physics) a wave that is hypothesized to propagate gravity and to travel at the speed of light |
gravity solemnity | a solemn and dignified feeling |
center of gravity centre of gravity | the point within something at which gravity can be considered to act, in uniform gravity it is equal to the center of mass |
normal fault gravity fault common fault | an inclined fault in which the hanging wall appears to have slipped downward relative to the footwall |
gravity gravitation gravitational attraction gravitational force | (physics) the force of attraction between all masses in the universe, especially the attraction of the earth's mass for bodies near its surface, the more remote the body the less the gravity, the gravitation between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love--Albert Einstein |
solar gravity | the gravity of the sun, solar gravity creates extreme pressures and temperatures |
specific heat | the heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance one degree centigrade |
gravity-assist | (spaceflight) a trajectory that passes close to a planetary body in order to gain energy from its gravitational field |
gravity gradient | a gradient in the gravitational forces acting on different parts of a nonspherical object, the gravity gradient of the moon causes the ocean tides on Earth |
prostate specific antigen PSA | a protein manufactured exclusively by the prostate gland, PSA is produced for the ejaculate where it liquifies the semen and allows sperm cells to swim freely, elevated levels of PSA in blood serum are associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer |
specific | stated explicitly or in detail, needed a specific amount |
specific | (sometimes followed by `to') applying to or characterized by or distinguishing something particular or special or unique, rules with specific application, demands specific to the job, a specific and detailed account of the accident |
specific | being or affecting a disease produced by a particular microorganism or condition, used also of stains or dyes used in making microscope slides, quinine is highly specific for malaria, a specific remedy, a specific stain is one having a specific affinity for particular structural elements |
specific | relating to or distinguishing or constituting a taxonomic species, specific characters |
