Your pipe analogy is stupid, The air would be removed and the weight of that air would be reflected in the scale weight, just because their is no air in the tube does not mean the penny is now massless, or can somehow overcome gravity. What airflow are you talking about? its either a vacuum chamber or a low pressure area, have you been taking meds and playing with vacuum cleaners?? Clearly the chamber is not a vacuum when you can see the buildup of smoke. You must be stupid to think a container filled with smoke can be under vacuum. And its hitting sides/back of chamber.

Why don't you use simple experiment to prove it. Rockets motors do not push against the atmosphere they push against the rocket body. simple test: put a scale on the pushed side of the rocket motor and measure the amount of force put the same scale on the exhaust side of the rocket motor and measure the force against the scale. The result will always be greater on the side to which the rocket moves (away from the exhaust) because of the effect of the rocket's thrust against the object it pushes through space and the atmosphere. There is no force. Air and other objects move out of the pipe, mass expelled, there is no opposite reaction on the scale. You can do this yourself at home. Make a container with your hand and see if you feel the opposite reaction. When wind blows towards your back, the air in front of your face also moves away from your face, did you feel the opposite reaction on your face? "For every action there is an opposite reaction." That is a fundamental law of physics 101. Also known as Newton's third law of motion, it explains why things move because of the force applied to them. Like the wind against my face for instance. Simple question: What pushes the wind against my face? By your reasoning because the atmosphere is there I should not feel anything and there should be no movement. The pennies in the tube lift because of the sudden rush of air out the tube, but if the vacuum process is slowed down to a point where the extraction of the gases in the tube isn't enough to lift the penny, then the penny won't move at all. The variable in your experiment is the speed at which you extract the air inside the tube, you are doing it at a high speed fast enough to raise the weight of a penny. |

Source from nasa states that the force it takes for the mass to move out from the rocket, is applied equally and oppositely on the rocket. Now the pipe experiment disproves this as there is no evidence of opposite force onto scale when air or even objects in the pipe move out. Additionally, Joules expansion shows that no work is done when gas expands into a vacuum. Furthermore, thermodynamics states. Work=-external pressure *change in volume. If external pressure of space is 0, work done is 0. Furthermore, NASA tends to concentrate on velocity rather than flow rate. Use of a nozzle. A smaller diameter pipe, increases the velocity, but leaves the flow rate unchanged. Flow rate is dependent on pressure differential. [link to www.1728.org] If velocity (meters per second) is of importance rather than flow (kilograms/second), it makes more sense that the gas pushes off the atmosphere. Similarly, a car going at faster speed would generally have more drag. Just like energy is required to move objects to a higher height (gravitational potential), energy is required to create pressure (energy from combustion). Therefore gravity and pressure are both potential energies. To sum it all up, when you drop an object from a height, there is no opposite reaction on your hand because gravity causes a force (Force=mass*acceleration). Similarly, pressure gradient also causes a force [link to en.m.wikipedia.org (secure)] Fuck you, ya dumb bastard. Make a fool of yourself? |

Pilgrim001 User ID: 77021014 United States 01/21/2019 12:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So you're saying that if you launch a nuclear missile at a satellite in space, and the nuke goes off 10ft away from the satellite, it won't damage the satellite because there is no atmosphere. It won't even knock it off course. Is that Correct? Quoting: Pilgrim001 If the nuke simply creates pressure, then yes. But in reality there would be shrapnel, like a grenade. A firearm would only be a good analogy if using a blank. The combustion builds up between the bullet and the barrel. Like two blocks between a compressed spring, the spring pushes both blocks in opposite directions when the spring is uncompressed. A rocket is more like a compressed spring attached to one block. As the spring uncompresses, it only pushes the block as much as it pushes the air, not very much And the earth is flat, right? How does the sun get back to the east side of the flat earth to make the trip each day? Does it go around, underneath, and past the turtles holding the earth up to get back to starting position? It's not a turtle. It's a toad. Whenever a toad swallows an insect, it uses its eyeballs to push the prey down its throat. So whenever a ship falls of the edge of the flat earth, the toad eats it, and as it's eyeball disappears you see the sun or moon. When the toad wakes up it's eyeball pops up, partially blocking the sun and or moon. That's how you get eclipses. Glad I could clear that up for you. I guess the Lunar eclipse tonight means the toad got something to eat. I don't have the time or the crayons to explain this to you. Slake Blake |
