if you are carrying both loads in the same manner

2019-12-07 06:02:31 UTC  

and it isnt turning or anything

2019-12-07 06:02:33 UTC  

yes

2019-12-07 06:02:33 UTC  

Yes, but lifting more mass would be easier if your own mass is reduced, is my point.

2019-12-07 06:02:37 UTC  

then it should be the same amount of force

2019-12-07 06:02:49 UTC  

given there is zero drag, it takes energy to accelerate, but not to maintain momentum

2019-12-07 06:02:50 UTC  

Overall weight is reduced yes

2019-12-07 06:02:55 UTC  

Specially in an rpg scenario where its all about a zero sum of your carry limit

2019-12-07 06:02:57 UTC  

Muscle strength stays the same

2019-12-07 06:03:13 UTC  

Same with mass

2019-12-07 06:03:27 UTC  

if the weight of everything on your person is reduced by gravity being reduced, you can lift something else easier

2019-12-07 06:03:35 UTC  

Yes

2019-12-07 06:03:43 UTC  

If you maintain same muscle mass

2019-12-07 06:03:48 UTC  

which you do

2019-12-07 06:03:55 UTC  

but itll probably fuck you up

2019-12-07 06:03:57 UTC  

in real life

2019-12-07 06:04:04 UTC  

because you suddenly have an abnormally light load

2019-12-07 06:04:13 UTC  

but it has the same volume

2019-12-07 06:04:15 UTC  

so the same drag

2019-12-07 06:04:52 UTC  

sure, but that doesn't mean you can lift say, a jumbo jet in deep space even though it technically weighs nothing

2019-12-07 06:05:05 UTC  

because it still has a lot of mass

2019-12-07 06:05:19 UTC  

Yeah you can only push on it but you wont feel much

2019-12-07 06:05:27 UTC  

I mean in space, any force applied will compound

2019-12-07 06:05:28 UTC  

you can lift it

2019-12-07 06:05:31 UTC  

itll just take a while

2019-12-07 06:05:32 UTC  

You'll move away more than the jet will

2019-12-07 06:05:35 UTC  

so right

2019-12-07 06:05:36 UTC  

and it also depends

2019-12-07 06:05:37 UTC  

inertia

2019-12-07 06:05:38 UTC  

no resistance, no drag, no other force

2019-12-07 06:05:40 UTC  

without drag force

2019-12-07 06:05:47 UTC  

means that there is nothing to reset your progress

2019-12-07 06:05:54 UTC  

so you can infinitely apply force to the plane

2019-12-07 06:05:56 UTC  

itll take a while

2019-12-07 06:05:57 UTC  

see, conservation of momentum means you would only be pushing yourself away, since the jet has a lot more mass than you

2019-12-07 06:05:59 UTC  

but you could carry it

2019-12-07 06:06:04 UTC  

if you push on it, you will fly back, but it will also start moving away eveeeeeer so slightly

2019-12-07 06:06:10 UTC  

^

2019-12-07 06:06:13 UTC  

exactly

2019-12-07 06:06:23 UTC  

@excursion12 (redha, richtginger) only if youre somehow floating in space

2019-12-07 06:06:25 UTC  

if you keep adding momentum to it, it'll eventually accumulate some decent speed
