Artificial gravity quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Artificial gravity card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
Rotational simulated gravity has been used in ______ to help astronauts train for extreme conditions.
Answer
simulations. Rotational simulated gravity has been used in simulations to help astronauts train for extreme conditions. From the Artificial gravity article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
Artificial gravity. Artificial gravity 73 · Future 69 · Character 66 · Gangaikonda Cholapuram 63 ATK in WikiCards.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Artificial gravity, or rotational gravity, is thus the appearance of a centrifugal force in a rotating frame of reference, as opposed to the force experienced in linear acceleration, which by the equivalence principle is indistinguishable from gravity.
- In a more general sense, "artificial gravity" may also refer to the effect of linear acceleration, e.g. by means of a rocket engine.
- Rotational simulated gravity has been used in simulations to help astronauts train for extreme conditions.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Artificial gravity article was read about 82,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 49: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Artificial gravity
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
