Tap for spoiler

The bowling ball isn’t falling to the earth faster. The higher perceived acceleration is due to the earth falling toward the bowling ball.

    tell me how Gm/r^2 dosent match acceleration, the fact that i wasted my time on low iq person like you

      That’s not what you wrote, or at least not what I complained about. You wrote:

      BUT earth will move with gM/m1

      where it was previously established that m1 and M are masses, and I interpreted g to be G (Newton’s gravitational constant) instead of g as in “gravitational acceleration caused by earth” because… well, I’m not actually sure. The whole thing is already a mess of capitalisation but more importantly then it’d be acceleration, not movement, worse, the specific properties of the earth are included twice (once in g, then in one of the mass terms).

      the fact that i wasted my time on low iq person like you

      Maybe you should spend less time on insulting people and more on communicating your thoughts clearly.

        tell me how gM/m1 is not acceleration, what even is your point omg

          You said it was movement, aka change in position over time, not acceleration, or you would have said “x will accelerate at”, not “earth will move at”. I already explained why it’s questionable as a term of acceleration.

          And this could’ve been over after a single comment of you saying “oh, yeah, misspoke”. Your math in the comment after that misbegotten term checks out, that’s not the issue here, it’s your presentation that went all haywire.

            literally trivil matter, i didnt even say movement, the point is your statements were still brain rot nonesense and your original comment is wrong and you dont really understand stuff

              Clarity of presentation is never a trivial matter. You can be right all you like if you don’t get it across then it will be for nought but inflating your own ego.

                But you’re not right?

                You’ve very clearly shown that you are wrong and then said “I’m right because I understand my explanation more than the reality of the situation”

                  I understand and agree with red’s math, and I said no such thing as you put into quotation marks there.

                    Yeh tbh my bad Im a couple drinks in. All I know is that the guy who thinks the bowling ball doesn’t technically fall faster is wrong (no idea if that’s you or not) any doubters look at this equation (F = G(m1m2)/R2 ) for a couple minutes and come back to me.

                    In solidarity with whoever thinks I’m wrong I’ll downvote my own comments losers
