so its floating
Not floating
It’s in free fall
Circular freefall
how can something which doesnt weigh anything fall
Everything that is falling doesn’t weigh anything
Ever weigh yourself on a scale while skydiving?
Can’t do it
so someone falling to the ground doesnt weigh anything
Yes
lololololo
Essentially
hahahahaahahaha
This is basic high school physics my guy
hehehehehehehe
what is weight?
Weight is the extent that gravity affects you
so gravity doesnt effect the moon
It does
or someone faalling
lol
Weight is a measure of how much force it takes you prevent you from falling
where did you get that from
come on be serious
I am
no, seriously
Alright well will you at least answer my question?
no
Why not
ok i will, i dont want to
Aight
So why does everybody see the same side of the moon, now matter which direction the moon it to them
i tell you what, i will tell you the answer to what weight is in your world
Why does somebody seeing the moon on the horizon see the same side as someone seeing it directly above them
The most common definition of weight found in introductory physics textbooks defines weight as the force exerted on a body by gravity. This is often expressed in the formula W = mg, where W is the weight, m the mass of the object, and g gravitational acceleration.
Well yes, that is true weight
I was referring to apparent weight
Apparent weight is more relevant to objects like the moon
so if a person is falling towards the earth, their weight is what?
you said zero
