PHIL Thrown out of an FBO...

Boy, I hate to be pedantic about this, but in a vacuum the heavier object _will_ reach the surface of the earth faster than a lighter one if both are released the same height above the ground. That depends where they come from. If you pick up the feather (leaving the stone on the ground), the stone's mass is part of the Earth's mass. If you then drop the feather and pick up the stone, the feather becomes part of the Earth's mass for that experiment. The total mass is the same. But suppose the "stone" is half the earth! |

If the feather and hammer are dropped at the same time and are next to each other. otoh - if the hammer is dropped at the true north pole and the feather were dropped at the true south pole... Ahhh, but more importantly, is the feather from an African or European swallow... I don't know! Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! thud |

F=gmm/r^2 = (m+m)a You're right. mm is a max when m&m are equal. Jose -- "Never trust anything that can think for itself, if you can't see where it keeps its brain." (chapter 10 of book 3 - Harry Potter). for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |

Pilots come from all backgrounds... There's the golfing ex- Air Force types and there's the cussing ex- Navy types... I'm the latter...
