He’s overstating the difference, but ofc the drop time would change one’s way higher lmao

Sorry, I and my classmate can't understand your question @Lain

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?

@RadRhys exactly

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

It is

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 have a simulation on that @Lain, let me grab it

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

how are you planning on taking a vacuum with you?

a normal vacuum chamber would be *way* too small to measure any difference
