lol, my brother plays this with one of his buddies all the time. Just bang your head against the keyboard 3 times or more if youd like and post the result. I'll go first. y7u64rer4oo
I really need better things to do with my time... tgfr5gtfvrrvvgt Ugh, I hit my head on my stupid roller mouse on my keyboard, I hate that thing.
This is what I got: Appearances can be deceptive. If you picture a mass the equivalent of the Earth, but compressed to a size similar to that of the wood or lead under discussion (it is immaterial what this mass is, but it might be convenient to picture a miniature black hole), and hold it suspended by some means, when that mass is dropped, the observed acceleration will not be 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s2), but 19.6m/s2. As the Earth’s gravity is the former value, and as is that of the miniature black hole, we can immediately see that the gravitational attraction is a result of the attraction of the two bodies’ gravitational fields. This applies whatever the mass of the bodies, and explains why the wood and the lead appear to behave the same - their mass is so tiny compared to that of the Earth, that for all practical purposes when dealing with the Earth, they are identical in mass. When watching a piece of lead and a piece of wood fall, they appear to fall in exactly the same manner. They do not. The lead actually falls faster, but the difference in acceleration is so minute that it cannot be measured, and can be completely ignored under all but very extreme circumstances. Referring back to the previous discussion about gravitational attraction, if the man in the chest is being accelerated by an outside force (the hypothetical being pulling on the rope) and drops a piece of lead, or wood, or a miniature black hole, they will all fall with an acceleration of exactly 9.8m/s2 - not a hair under or over. The objects are quite simply left behind as the chest accelerates away. Let us now assume that he is in the gravitational field of the Earth with the floor of the chest standing on the Earth’s surface. The miniature black hole and the Earth will each fall towards their centre of mass with an acceleration of 9.8m/s2 (relative to the Earth, the black falls towards it at 19.6 m/s2), and meet (at their centre of mass) after 1.4 seconds. The piece of lead and the piece of wood will fall with an acceleration (relative to the Earth) of 9.8m/s2 (also towards their centre of mass, but this is so close to the Earth’s centre of mass as to be indistinguishable from it), and after 1.4 seconds they have fallen half way to the Earth. At this time the Earth and the black hole meet and therefore stop moving (assuming no elasticity), while the wood and the lead carry on to hit the Earth 0.6s later. To summarize then, if the experiment is done under a uniform acceleration of 1G, all the objects will hit the floor after 2 seconds. If the experiment is done in a gravitational field of 1G, the black hole will hit the floor after 1.4 seconds, while the wood and lead will hit the floor after 2 seconds. He can immediately decide from this experiment whether he is in a gravitational field or is being accelerated by an outside force. If a black hole with a mass the same as that of the Earth falls faster than a piece of wood, then so does a mass of half the Earth, as does a mass of one hundredth, or a thousandth etc. In principle, if the man’s instruments are sensitive enough, he can detect whether he is in a gravitational field or being accelerated, whatever the mass of the objects which he drops.
i hope its ok that i bang my keyboard against my head, and not my head against the keyboard 6u maybe that wasnt a good idea, as moving the keyboard took it out of the corless range
ok, i'll try it, but therapist says im not supposed to be hitting my head on things any more..... oh well, here goes: bvfgnmnmjhnmnjhnjhvgbvgfd;l '];lnbyhyvfgrtvftgjuyhjuyh;p[' ?:{liuy76ty66uyh .... i hit it slightly more than 3 times... meh... forgot how nice it felt yey!
i was so excited to try it, that i accidentally did it b4 pushing reply...then i looked up at the screen and realized how dumb i was
