when r becomes smaller, Fg increases
@Jondar02 thats interesting, if you take 2 vacuums one at sea level and another at 50 m above sea level would the drop time change?
He’s overstating the difference, but ofc the drop time would change one’s way higher lmao
hi, classmate here, can you please explain it a little more
the altitude would change the force of gravity right?
yes
thats correct
the `r` in the equation is the distance between the objects
He’s asking that since you’re further out from the center of gravity, if it would fall slower
if you have 2 vacuums, one at sea level and another one above 50m sea level and you dropped something from the same height in the vacuum wouldnt the time the object hits the floor of the vacuum be different?
i think yes since the r is different right?
what im asking
It would accelerate slower
Due to the "G" in the equation it's not a significant difference though
wait that would totally prove gravity, isnt there a video where they do this experiment?
noww flat earthers will shut up
The G is a number in the 10^-11, the difference would be far too small to notice
I imagine air resistance is far more influential, because it decreases exponentially with elevation
if you take a vacuum into the stratosphere wouldnt the drop be significantly more slow than on the ground?
you could do this on a plane 🤔
why hasnt no one tested this?
F air = 0.5 * Cw * A * Rho * v^2
Where:
F air is the force of the air resistance
Cw is the aerodynamic constant (usually around 1)
A is the surface area
Rho is the density of the air
V is the velocity
I posit it would drop much faster because pressure decreases exponentially
Sim on that too
Can I post pics here?
Nope, at least I can’t
Must be a rank thing
is there no video that displays the difference of drop time and altitude in a vacuum?
flat earthers would call bull if you show a simulation
we need something so they can shut up about
Okay, how would you go on and film that?
Huh
how tall is the burj khalifa?
you go at the top and take a vacuum with you and measure the drop time alongside every floor
it should be the same as the equation
the highest floor will be the slowest
and the ground will be the fastest time for the drop
