penalti: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, explica que penalti es la adaptación gráfica del anglicismo penalty, ‘máxima sanción que se aplica a ciertas faltas del juego cometidas por un equipo dentro de su área’ [...] El Diccionario panhispánico de dudas señala que la grafía inglesa debe evitarse y que se trata de una palabra llana, por lo que se pronuncia /penálti/, no /pénalti/. [...] El plural de este sustantivo es penaltis, no penalties ni penaltys.

A condition of apparent absence of an acceleration field.

Partial simulation is commonly conducted by immersion in a liquid of specific gravity close to that of the body. 6, record 4, English, - weightlessness

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT
L'impesanteur, dans le domaine de l'astronautique comme dans tout autre, est l'état d'un corps tel que l'ensemble des forces gravitationnelles et inertielles auxquelles il est soumis possède une résultante et un moment résultant nuls. L'impesanteur [...] est donc le phénomène ressenti en l'absence de pesanteur. L'impesanteur n'est donc pas provoquée par l'éloignement de la Terre ou de tout autre corps céleste attractif : l'accélération due à la gravité à une hauteur de 100 km par exemple n'est que de 4 % moindre qu'à la surface de la Terre. En réalité, l'impesanteur est ressentie lorsque l'accélération subie égale la gravité, ce qui recouvre aussi le cas où le champ de gravité serait nul, ce qui n'arrive pas puisque l'influence de la gravité est partout dans l'Univers. 8, record 4, French, - impesanteur

Se define ingravidez como el estado en el que un cuerpo tiene peso nulo. El motivo por el cual el peso se hace nulo es que la fuerza gravitatoria sea contrarrestada por la fuerza centrífuga (en un sistema de referencia solidario con el cuerpo) o por alguna fuerza de igual intensidad que el peso, pero que actúe en la dirección opuesta. 1, record 4, Spanish, - ingravidez
