	The Mass Page - with info on - defintion of mass
		Mass is a property of a physical object that quantifies the defintion of mass amount of matter and energy it is equivalent to.
		Mass is a central concept of classical mechanics and related subjects, and there are several forms of mass within the framework of relativistic kinematics (see mass in special relativity and mass in General Relativity).
		Inertial mass is the mass of an object measured by its resistance to acceleration.

	SLUG
		These terms come as a surprise to students who have bee n taught that mass in the metric system was kilograms and force was newtons.
		Additional concern arises when in a dynamics course they are told to divide the weight of an object by g to obtain its mass in slugs but that the mass in kilograms is not divided by the metric g.
		In an effort to clarify the matter the metric slug was revived.

	Slug Comparison
		At 1500 fps, the 1 1/4-ounce slug is comfortable to shoot and, in terms of accuracy, very adaptable; it shot about the same from both test guns.
		The Hastings slug, introduced in 2004 in a 12-gauge, 11⁄4-ounce, 1500 fps magnum version and the 1020 fps Low Recoil-Youth version, is a soft lead slug encased in a non-discarding sabot and attached wad—its sabot sleeve works like a jacket on a rifle bullet.
		The collapsible nature of the soft, conventional rifled slug at setback, when the primer is ignited and the slug is still in the chamber, has always been problematic because the slug doesn’t always spring back to the same shape in the barrel.

	Biology of slugs
		DIGESTION When feeding the radula of the slug shreds the food to little pieces,which go into the buccal cavity and the oesophagus.There are getting mixed with mucus and saliva.The foodthen goes into the crop where a large amount of juice is produced by the digestive gland.
		SENSES Like snails slugs have most of their sensory receptors concentrated around the head.Nerve knots,also named ganglia,process information gathered from the two pairs of tentacles.The lower,shorter,pair,the sensory tentacles, is used for smelling and maybe tasting.The upper,longer,pair,the optic tentacles is sensitive to light and smell.Although slugs can't see colors,they are able to distinguish light from dark.
		Often a slug will follow another slugs mucus trail and eat it.Then the slugs circle around eachother.The genitalia are being pushed out,often visible as a bluish swelling on the right side of the body.The slugs move closer together and the genitalia make contact.Sperm is transferred in the form of spermatophores.

		It is equal to the mass which when acted on by one pound force acquires an acceleration of one foot per second per second.
		It is Slug, pseudonym for one Sean Daley, who provides the flavorful poetry and pension for introspection that pervades his crew and gives him some measure of fame in the realm of hip-hop and rap.
		With physical, gloomy, funny, and entirely brilliant raps, Slug woos his listeners with a character that is simultaneously the embodiment of the romantic, playboy and philosopher archetypes all the while maintaining and indulging in the lesser and baser (dare I say gangster?) aspects of human (and hip-hop) life.

	slug (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		One slug is a mass such that a 1-pound force acting on it will produce an acceleration of 1 foot per second per second.
		This unit, rather than the pound (as a unit of mass), is used as the system's unit of mass in order to make the system coherent.
		The slug was never used much outside of textbooks, which in one respect was unfortunate because using either it or the poundal would have helped to dispel the confusion between the pound as mass and the pound as force.

	Mass and Weight
		Mass and weight are two common, and often misused and misunderstood terms in mechanics and fluid mechanics.
		Mass is a measure of the amount of material in an object, being directly related to the number and type of atoms present in the object.
		The mass is a fundamental property of an object, a numerical measure of its inertia and a fundamental measure of the amount of matter in the object.

	What's the difference between a Slug an a Newton
		One slug is the amount of mass that is accelerated at 1 foot per second per second by a force of 1 pound.
		Originally the kilogram was defined to be the mass of a cubic decimeter (one liter) of water at 4 degrees Centigrade.
		A slug is a slug, and a newton is newton, and never the twain shall meet, unless you're confused, of course.

		Juggling the concepts of mass, weight, and force is not simple, especially when you try to jump back and forth between two different systems of measurement.
		The force unit is called a newton (N), and is defined as the force required to accelerate a mass of 1 kg at a rate of 1 meter/sec.
		A slug is defined as the mass which would be accelerated 1 ft/s² by a force of 1 lb.

	Mass and Weight, Alaska Science Forum
		The fact of the matter is, we use "weight" in ordinary English to include both mass (the too, too solid flesh) and the force the earth's gravity exerts on that mass (the weight on your feet).
		But that difference is very small, and by pretending that it does not exist we have the convenience of using the force the earth exerts on a mass to measure the amount of the mass.
		As a result, people in the United States hardly ever refer to the English unit of mass, the slug, while people in most of the rest of the world use kilograms in a casual way to refer to gravitational force.

	Some Basic Unit of Measurement in Mechanics
		Using a balance, we observe that the gravitational forces which act on two masses are equal, and conclude that the masses are equal.

		Calculate the ratio of the English mass unit to the MKS mass unit and the reciprocal, the ratio of the MKS value to the English system value.

		They of course mark out the displacement of the mass on the paper, but they also act as pinches to control the passage of the paper as it feeds past.
		The take-up spool is a wooden dowel mounted on the turntable (details of the motor turntable are in Tools of the Trade); tape the end of the paper to this and take up the slack.
		The 'T' slips into a hole in the mass; the mass should then be moved along the steel rod so that the pens press against the paper.

	The Slug as a Mass Unit (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The slug is the unit of mass in the US common system of units, where the pound is the unit of force.
		The comparison of the slug and the pound makes it clear why the size of the pound is more practical for commerce.
		But at the precision obtainable in current scientific work, it is undesirable to have the weight of an object as a standard because the value of g does change measurably at different points on the Earth.

	About Slugging
		Slugging is a term used to describe a unique form of commuting found in the Washington, DC area sometimes referred to as "Instant Carpooling" or "Casual Carpooling".
		It is believed that slugging began with people waiting at bus stops on their way to the Pentagon (which was—and still—is a major transportation hub).
		Nevertheless, the Urban Institute did recognize that a "formal" slug line was in operation at a place known as "Bob’s," which referred to a line adjacent to Bob’s Big Boy restaurant at the intersection of Bland Street and Old Keene Mill Road in Springfield.
