The "penny and feather" is a classic demonstration that has been used to show students that light and heavy objects do fall at the same rate when there is no air resistance. This demonstration requires a vacuum pump to remove air from a glass or clear plastic tube that contains a penny and feather that can be dropped by quickly turning over the tube. A simpler demonstration can be done with an aluminum ball and a lead ball that are the same size. If they are dropped simultaneously, they will hit the ground at the same time.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - ------------- that explanation is fundamental but i would say at the same time- infintile it describes experimental facts but nothing more than that it is as if you would say objects on earth fall downwareds and not upwards yet we waht to go further and understand **why it is so * what is the physical processecces and mechanismes beind it??!! but that is too much for a parrot like Worlley .. ps dear wormley do you know that the gravitation force IS NOT SOLVED YET?? and of course it does not bother a parrot ..

Now melt two of the balls, and then use the liquid metal to cast just one new larger ball. Now drop the three of these balls, and of course they will still all hit the ground at the same time. Just because the larger ball weighs twice as much as each of the other two, it does not mean that anything has been changed when compared to the material that we started with. We could even keep dividing the balls into larger numbers, but once again nothing has changed. |
