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
a normal vacuum chamber would be *way* too small to measure any difference
im just pitching my idea and i want to know if it was ever done?
that would be super dooper good evidence for gravity
Oooohhhh that’s what you mean by a vacuum chamber. Like, I thought you just chose a random object to bring up
sorry my bad, should've clarified and said vacuum chamber
but a normal vacuum chamber is way too small to measure a difference in gravity
and bigger chambers are extremely difficult to make
you will have a precise timer and sensor that times when the object hits the floor
with all the huge forces pushing on it
the vacuum just needs to be as tall as the room its in
it's a fall of max 1m, you won't be able to measure any difference
average ceiling height is like 2.6 meters and you would have a sensor that will time exactly when it hits the floor. you will capture a very small difference every floor
I'm running simulation atm, you'll see the difference in force
how do you want to make a vacuum chamber of 2.6m tall
did you see the world biggest vacuum chamber?
there are vacuum chambers that big, but it requires a huge foundation
and a lot of stuff to make it work
i just want to know if the experiment at different altitude to measure drop time in a vacuum chamber with x being altitude and y being the drop time has ever been done?
probably not, since there wouldn't be any measurable difference
welp that sucks, even a small difference would confirm it
