The Eötvös effect, named after the Hungarian physicist Loránd Eötvös, refers to the phenomenon where the apparent weight of an object changes when it is in motion, particularly when it is in free fall or subjected to acceleration. This effect arises from the interaction between gravitational forces and acceleration. In the context of gravimetry and geophysics, the Eötvös effect is important for understanding how mass distributions affect gravitational measurements.
