Gravity info needed.

Shartley... you really had me runnin around for a bit there. I was surprised that you were the one questioning what I had said, but as long as we can all agree what should happen in an ideal world it's all good I was scrambling to find the animation I saw earlier of a cannon firing a ball and someone dropping one at the same moment, but all I found was the elephant and feather.

"But feeling sorry for your actions does not mean you should not pay the piper for dance."

You still were wrong

I just saw my one chance in life to pick on your mistake and had to take it. Its all in fun

[sniper1rfa]

actually, shartley is right, sorta...

you forgot the curvature of the earth. hell, if it was going 18000 m/s/s (i think thats the number) it would hit in like taiwan (exaggeration) 30 minutes later... without friction it would never hit the ground...

HeeHee very true... but I corrected myself before others did.

(But I guess we can call this an early Christmas Gift to AO. )

You wanna know about Gravity, eh? It's a good thing. Period.

Brain.....hurts! Learning......too much!!! Must....turn on.....TV!

AAAAHHHHHHH im in conceptual physics and even i knew enough to bust samn on this AAAAHHHHH Darn me and my day off from AO! i wanted to prove sam wrong....

[petefol]

hehe i was right
I AM SO SMART S-M-R-A-T!

[Spray Painter]

if your so smart then how do you spell smart?

Isn't this interesting?

What effect does this conversation have on the "different markers, different range" debate? I think that the same folks who are convinced that objects with relative velocity will stay aloft longer than objects with no relative kinetic energy along a plane perpendicular to the force of gravity are the same folks who think that Autocockers/Matrices/[insert other marker name here] have longer range than other markers. That's what I really thought SHartley was going after.

[Edit: I initially had that last sentence grammatically correct, but it sounded so corny I reworded. Sometimes ending a sentence with a preposition is easier than confusing people.]

The professor on gravity

Said effects are strictly valid only in a vacuum. For practical purposes they are usually true with paintballs.

Personally, I think gravity is over-rated. I know *I* would be much better without it!
