English term or phrase: If a body (or atoms) possessing the turning motion is enforced to travel on curv
i would love to know the terminology in physics, i don't understand if there is difference between "gravity wave" and "gravity force". which one is more accurate??? tks.

Si un corps (ou atomes) en état de rotation est contraint...
Explanation:
Si un corps (ou atomes) en état de rotation est contraint de traverser une courbe (trajectoire)
1-gravity wave: Les vagues de gravité (ou ondes de gravité).
2-gravity force: force de gravité.
These two gravities are different understandings:
A special type of gravity wave is a surface wave, which are the waves you see on the surface of a body of water.


A gravity wave is an oscillation caused by the displacement of an air parcel which is restored to its initial position by gravity.
<<<< The lifting force is buoyancy, while the restoring force is gravity>>>>.
so a few scientists feel they should be called buoyancy waves! We have discussed gravity, but not buoyancy. Buoyancy is defined by Archimedes' Principle:

A body wholly or partially immersed in a fluid will be buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid that it displaces.

The buoyancy force is proportional to the difference in air temperature inside and outside an air parcel.
