How can we slow down g?


Capiert

Recommended Posts

Here'( i)s a spin_off (=sidetrack))

 of Ewert's pulley experiment.

The driving (=pulling) weight difference (force)

 (m2-m1)*g=(m1+m2)*a2

 (of 2 different masses, stringed over a pully)

 must accelerate (to drive, all=)

 the ((total) whole=100%, =sum of)

 mass m3=m2+m1

 (because the rest (=not_different=non_difference)

 is (equal=) equated_out (as the same, or identical)).

 a2=g*(m2-m1)/(m1+m2).

 &

 a1=-a2, so

 a1=-g*(m2-m1)/(m1+m2)

 or swapping the mass difference

 a1=g*(m1-m2)/(m1+m2)

 

Thus we have the eccentric equation(s)

 & mass2('s excess, wrt mass1) determines

 its (own) acceleration_direction (polarity).

Note: g=-9.8 m/(s^2)

 is negative,

 thus a large(r) mass2 (than mass1)

 will naturally have a negative acceleration2=a2 (down(wards)).

 

I suspect (=find) that is a remarkable formula,

 (i.e. + & -, =eccentric);

 & quite good for some TV stunts,

 e.g. the 3 Musketeers

 jumping on a rope, pullyed with a weight

 similar to the person

 to slow the descent(‘s acceleration).

E.g. To get more done in the scene,

 like in slow motion.

 

E.g.

How can we slow down g

 (& make it smaller).

 

The final trick

 would be to make the (negative) g

 so small,

 that it becomes positive,

 & will gently levitate

 to rise a person.

Assuming the person is m2,

 then m1 must be(come) larger (than m2).

Identical (masses) m1=m2 is (simply) levitation.

Please not(ic)e, that slowed (=smaller) acceleration a1=-a2

 is (still) “acceleration”

 if (=when) the pulley “friction” is cancelled out!

So a constant speed is NOT expected

 for that trick (=stunt).

 

..13:29

 

E.g. Star Wars: falls; & ascenssions.

 (Blue (or green) box, video overlay effects.)

Very slow acceleration,

 can be made to (optically) look like expansion (=expanding, against the background)

 or shrinking (in the opposite (slow) acceleration).

 

Over_simplified math

 just won’t do (the same (effect))

 in our heads(‘ imagination).-Disclaimer.

..13:39

 

I was a little puzzled

 that I couldn’t make that conclusion

 in (only) 1 (=the 1st) session (=sitting)

 e.g. why it confused me at 1st;

 & that I had to let my intuition take over

 to finish the job.

Lucky enough that it did.

E.g. My intuition gave me the task in the 1st place,

 as a curiosity (=peculiarity).

If it didn’t then somebody else did, e.g. ET’s etc (moma=mother nature)?

I can’t blame it (=success) on my ego,

 because that (=ego) failed.

None of that changes g,

True, g is defined as "free" fall,

 & being bound to a rope is not (being) free.

But I assume you understood my intention

 to discuss altering our fall acceleration a2

 in stunts.

and making something smaller does not change its sign.

In that equation,

 changing "something" like 1 of those masses (i.e. m2) by making it smaller (wrt the other mass m1),

 will change the polarity (sign) of its (fall_acceleration) a2.

 

There is a sidekick, however to that theme when considering orbits:

Faster orbits will increase the (orbit's existing) radius;

 while slower orbit speed will decrease the orbit radius

 to a new equilibrium.

I get the idea those changes are altering the polarity (sign, away from zero, when they happen).

Here's the thing: you need to be precise, and use the proper definitions in order to be understood. If you want to change the acceleration of an object, that's what you say. You don't talk about changing g.

If you have two objects on a pulley, changing the mass could change the direction of the acceleration. It's all described by the equations.

Since you tend to use radial coordinates, no. r is always positive, and v is always positive. You can talk about the sign of the change in either of these, which could be positive or negative.

Zero polarity is equilibrium, there.

(E.g. Neither fall (-), nor ascension (+).)

What's wrong?

Polarity isn't the correct terminology here. And neither is fall vs ascension. Having zero acceleration does not mean that the object is stationary, and acceleration downward does not mean that the object is moving downward.

Nobody is arguing with you there.

(For an orbit (=moving, =not stationary)), I said zero (fall) acceleration was equilibrium.)

In my equation, it does. (Doesn't it?)

Never.

Capiert says: a person with 2 watches can know when 1 is wrong.

A person with 3 might tell which is wrong.

Even if all 3, or less.

Wrong (guess): I don't know what "you" are talking about, there.

(I.e. You said, my idea of (a2's fall acceleration) polarity getting changed

(via mass, or orbit speed change)

was wrong;

 after I asked what was wrong, giving you a + & - hint.)p

I guess "you" did not understand me.

(I do make mistakes.)

That makes no sense, even if we remove the random punctuation.

If it is orbiting then it is constantly accelerating and falling.

Direction matters as well  with velocity.

That's even worse, since in a circular orbit (unchanging r) there must be an acceleration.

You don't know which one, though.

Maybe that is why you did not understand?)

While orbiting, & the radial height distance is constant,

 then the orbiting object is (radially) neither falling, nor rising.

No

An object in orbit is always falling. It accelerates towards the thing it's orbiting round.

It doesn't matter what coordinate system you use. it's still falling.

Did it occur to you that it may not be our understanding that is wrong?

Radially there is no fall acceleration (neither) up (n)or down

 because the height is constant

 (as part of the radius);

 although, acceleration occurs in both x,y coordinates.

(I hope that's said ok, now.)

Naturally.

That's usually determined by which 1 is different of 2 from the 3rd (or else 3 watches).

Because the Earth is curved and the orbiting object is falling towards it. I mean, really. Sheesh.

Your ignorance is absolutely staggering. Unbelievable. I know people who propose their own "personal theories" are usually relatively uneducated but you don't know ANYTHING. You know NOTHING. I cannot believe how little you know. How did you manage to learn so little in school?

Newton 1687. 

the first and best explanation of what an orbit is. An object in orbit is weightless not because 'it is beyond the earth's gravity' but because it is in 'free-fall' - just like a skydiver. The difference is that it has enough horizontal speed never to hit the ground.

Puhlease try and learn the sort of basic physics that schoolboys know before going round trying to say that all of modern physics is wrong. Your attitude is just delusional. No one will take you seriously when you base your ludicrous assertions on total ignorance.

I suppose learning is hard work and making stuff up is easy, but it is just pathetic to watch. Please stop it: You are embarrassing yourself and disappointing the rest of us.

Sorry John,

 but that doesn't make sense to me

 from that perspective.

I haven't (really) noticed when the moon fell down onto the earth, & crashed.

Significantly the moon earth distance varies a bit,

 but radially to say "fall" as in "down",

 isn't that relatively out of the question in radial coordinates?

Does that mean a helicopter, hovering at constant height is falling (too)?

Quote

It doesn't matter what coordinate system you use, it's still falling.

I'm talking about the observed phenomena of decent to the earth's surface.

Are clouds (that are hanging in the air) falling?

Quote

Did it occur to you that it may not be our understanding that is wrong?

Yes, sometimes.

(I'm not perfect.)

Yes I must admit it was difficult

(getting stuffed with too much info, that conflicts).

Sorry, but the paradoxes stand out (to me).

How then is it falling? It does not fall (wrt radial coordinates;

instead (it falls) only wrt cartisian x,y,z coordinates, because it curves.)

Your (radial) perspective is inconsistent.

Radius r, & height h do NOT change when weightless.

Do you really expect to understand a different explanation? 

You are incapable of learning. Full stop. There is nothing more to say. 

You might as well ask the mods to close this thread as all you are going to do is repeat the same nonsensical gibberish.

Just now, Capiert said:

Why not?

Because it isn't orbiting. Sheesh. I think I will have to put you on ignore. I am worried that this level of stupidity might be catching.

 

And didn't you mean to write:

In the vain hope that ONE of these might get through your thick skull, here are a few more explanations of what an orbit is:

Please read these before continuing. And I mean read them and not just look at them and go "Oh they must be wrong b'cos I am such a frigging genius and know those dumb scientists can't even add up."

READ THEM.

No, it was a rhetorical question.

I explained it was NOT falling in radially coordinates;

 but you insist on using cartisian coordinates with them radial

 to cheat the perspective.

I question whether you can see the perspective mixture

 created for you in your institutions.

We can drop the (radial) theme, instead of the thread,

 if you are not willing to notice the hash in coordinates.

No sense if you're NOT ready for it yet.

Are you deliberately lying or are you just incapable of understanding what you read?

All I can see is you making a hash of ... well, everything.
