Are you working overtime on saturday night too?

I think Marinica Ivanovici is done with his shift

I'm currently having to convince someone that the reduction of gravity would also reduce the weight of someone

Oh no

Its easier to reduce personal mass tho

I guess fats would feel at home on the moon

Nonono

its related to 40k

I have to convince him that a fall breaker, which reduces the force of gravity acting on a soldier to make their fall non-lethal, would also make them and their equipment weight less, and as such, allow them to carry more

wait, you have to explain basic physics to somebody?

how old is this person?

and yes, although their weight would decrease, their mass remains the same, which means it still takes more energy to lug all of that mass around

Yes, but since that same mass weights less, it takes less effort to carry it around

hm

It would take the same effort to lift a 6 kg rock on earth as a 36 kg rock on the moon

I guess it depends on what form of transportation you're taking

their mass is different but their weight is the same

energy is required to move mass, the more mass, the more energy required

gravity doesn't effect that fact

what you mean to say is, the person will feel less downward force on themselves when carrying a lot of mass when the gravity is lower

but it will still take more force to move said mass

?

its harder to move something that is more massive

even if it weighs the same

but its also harder to stop moving it

yes that's what I'm saying

and while youre moving it it should be the same

assuming there is no drag force then moving two objects with vastly different mass should be the same

your acceleration towards a massive body will be less, so there will be less downward force acting on you, but it will still take more effort to carry all of that stuff

itll be the same so long as you arent changing direction

if you are carrying both loads in the same manner

and it isnt turning or anything

yes

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

then it should be the same amount of force

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

Overall weight is reduced yes

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

Muscle strength stays the same

Same with mass
