The 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ) . ... Before jumping into all the finer details of teh survey, a brief non-astronomer's guide to redshift surveys is available. ... The primary scientific aims of the QSO survey are: (1) to obtain the primordial fluctuation power spectrum out to COBE scales, (2) to determine the rate of QSO clustering evolution in the non-linear and linear regimes and hence obtain new limits on the value of and the bias parameter, (3) to apply a powerful geometric method to measure . ...

Galileo showed convincingly that heavy objects fell no faster that light ones. ... If an iron ball was pulled down with a much greater force than a wooden one of the same size, why didn't it fall any faster? ... 1) It is harder to lift. ... It is the fact that the loaded wagon has a greater mass that gives it a larger inertia , a larger tendency to oppose any change in its state of rest or of constant motion in a straight line. ... One important quantity was the body mass of the astronauts. ...

... Over the next couple of days, ask a random selection of the people you meet to tell you the difference between 1/4 and 1/5. ... Show your subjects the equation e = mc2 and ask what it means. ... The equation is the most famous in science. ... Most associate it with Albert Einstein and many will say it has to do with mass and energy. A heartening number of students and teachers will even tell you the equation states that energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared. ...

Properties of the interstellar gas clouds . ... The angular resolution of this Survey was 2.4' x 130', velocity resolution was 6.3 km/s, r.m.s. fluctuations of antenna temperature (T a ) was 0.25 K. All clouds with kinematical distances r a Some selection effects were discovered and our statistic results were corrected for them. Figure 1. ... In the very high mass range the number of neutral gas clouds may be decreased because of gravitational instability or/and molecularization. ...

... The difference is that inertia is an inherent property of matter, while weight also depends on gravity. ... They use gravity, balancing its force on the astronaut's body against a calibrated spring or against the force of gravity on some calibrated weights. ... Using scales and the local force of gravity, one can determine gravitational mass; or else, one might dispense with gravity, like the astronauts aboard Skylab, sand measure the "inertial mass," and in principle they may differ. ...

. Space vehicle "Mariner-4". “Mariner” (English "Mariner" - a sailor) is an american autometic interplanet series for Venus, Mers, Mercury and Space investigations. They are designed for the planets flight and bringing in to the planetocentrial orbits. The maximum starting mass of "Mariner" is about 1 tone. In 1962 - 1973 10 "Mariners were launched. The surveys made by "Mariner-4" showed that Mars is also covered with the craters. The mass of the planet and its atmosphere was calculated. Back .

... We address a question if globular clusters (GC) in a protogalaxy could for some time evolve chemically as isolated systems, enriching themselves with heavy elements produced in first supernova events that follow initial star formation. We determine both the critical mass of a protoglobular cluster that is needed to retain the ejecta of the very first supernova, and the critical energy (i.e., number of supernovae) that is needed to expel the residual gas from a cluster of a given mass. ...
