Mass Media People From Jacksonville, Florida
Mass is an intrinsic property of a body. It was traditionally believed to be related to the quantity of matter in a body, until the discovery of the atom and particle physics. It was found that different atoms and different elementary particles, theoretically with the same amount of matter, have nonetheless different masses. Mass in modern physics has multiple definitions which are conceptually distinct, but physically equivalent. Mass can be experimentally defined as a measure of the body's inertia, meaning the resistance to acceleration (change of velocity) when a net force is applied. The object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies. The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). In physics, mass is not the same as weight, even though mass is often determined by measuring the object's weight using a spring scale, rather than balance scale comparing it directly with known masses. An object on the Moon would weigh less than it d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Inquirer News Tonight
''Inquirer News Tonight'' is an American local television newscast for the Philadelphia area that aired from September 26, 1994, to December 29, 1996. Produced by KR Video—a subsidiary of Knight-Ridder, publisher of ''The Philadelphia Inquirer''—in association with local TV station WPHL-TV, ''Inquirer News Tonight'' intended to combine the journalism resources of ''The Inquirer'' with a television news format. The program suffered from substantial internal turmoil—including an eight-month boycott by newspaper staffers—as well as KR Video's inexperience at translating the newspaper into a TV newscast; its ratings were low, and its revenues were well below projections. The partnership was dissolved at the end of 1996, and WPHL-TV retained the on-air personnel and continued producing local newscasts through 2005. Conception and launch On January 10, 1994, P.
