Goddammit,i came across this thought while pushing my bike and it really struck a cord.I'd be really appreciative if someone could clear it.
I was always told that gravity was pulling us down by people,they told me that this was the reason why i came back to ground when i jump.
Correct me if i'm wrong,but i think this is the same as pushing us down.
So picture this:
You are given two objects,object X and object Y.
The mass of object Y is the double of the mass of object X.
Picture that these two objects are placed in front of you and you are asked to push them.
You'd indefinitely be able to push X better than Y,correct?
Now consider that same situation but in a vertical axis.
If there were two objects such as X and Y in the air.
Lets assume that gravity is pushing these objects down,
So,if that is true which object would gravity be able to move faster?
Obviously object X,right? Because Y is heavier than X so it is easier to move X.
If that is correct,if i threw these two objects upward.
Shouldn't the object X which is lighter than Y fall quicker than Y? (Assuming that their is no air resistance)
So picture this,i throw a cricket ball and a mountain(same shape as that of cricket ball but higher density) up,shouldn't the ball come falling to the ground faster? Since it is easier to push it because it is lighter?
Then why in the fuck is the mountain coming down faster?? This really bugged me as fuck.
So i thought about this shit and then i formulated that maybe,
Gravity isn't really pushing us down or is it pulling us down.
Maybe,
That son of a bitch is pushing us up.
Why did i think like that?
Picture the same objects X and Y.
If i had to lift these two objects then i'd be easier for me to lift the object X than Y because X is lighter.
So if i gradually decrease the force i apply to these objects X and Y,
Y would come down faster than X,right?
Because Y is heavier and a slight decrease in the force i apply to it to keep it up would enable it to come down farther.
Whereas,
If i reduce the force with which i'm holding X up slightly,it wouldn't come as far as down like Y because it is lighter.
So,i concluded that gravity is acting upwards,i.e,pushing objects upwards.
Then why is it called acceleration due to gravity?Shouldn't it be called deceleration due to gravity?
Yeah,ok thanks for reading,i'd be grateful if someone could tell me if these thoughts really hold any credit,if yes,why? If no,why?
Or is it just another senseless blunders i too frequently come across?
