Example: Last Tuesday a priest in India was seriously wounded when two young men assaulted him at a school in southern Delhi.gravedad2 = gravity.
Example: Examples include terms arising from energy (force, gravity, heat), matter (molecular states, elements, compounds), earth, plants, animals, man.more:
» campo de gravedad = gravitational field .
Example: Astronomers theorize that a black hole forms when a massive object shrinks catastrophically under its own gravity, leaving only a gravitational field so strong that nothing escapes it.» centro de gravedad = centre of gravity .
Example: Theoretically travel distances will be reduced to a minimum if the building is a cube and on entry users are brought quickly to the centre of gravity.» desafiar la gravedad = defy + gravity .
Example: Four performers tied to bungees swing, droop and fly in the air in ways that defy gravity.» falta de gravedad = weightlessness .
