Not to be that guy but technically they wouldn't be "weightless" at the same time, gravity or gravitational force is calculated using the mass of both objects so the elephant would feel the effects of gravity more strongly, so pretty much there is a distance where the mouse weights practically nothing and the elephant would still have some measurable force dragging it down
@@ConstantChaos1 his mistake was using weight instead of mass. An elephant moving at the same speed as a mouse will carry much more momentum and energy.
@@Joemamahahahaha821 yeah weight is mass×gravity and that's what people forget since on earth gravity is a constant (although it's actually not there is a surprising amount of variation) so people don't consider that weightless and massless are two very different things, if going to space made you massless reaching (and potentially exceeding if we are truely massless) the speed of light would be easy
@@ConstantChaos1they are weightless because they are in perpetual free fall in the orbit around the earth. If you jump out of a window you are weighless untill you hit the ground. In the mean time you are in free fall. If you glue a scale to your feet you could see that you would weigh nothing. However your mass is constant and even in space while weightless your kinetic energy is still half your mass times the square of your velocity. Your momentum is the differential off kinetic energy is mass times velocity. According to the law of conservation of momentum the push you get by colliding with an elephant is much greater than the push you get because of the collision with a mouse at the same speed. Your resulting velocity after the collision with the elephant would be a million times higher than after the collission with the mouse. Mass is also conserved, weight is a measure dependant on gravity. That's why you weigh less on the moon than on earth.
Johnny considering the importance of center of pressure with regards to Dumbo's ear location and getting ridiculed is a tragedy. Also, to be pedantic, the elephant would have more gravity than a mouse in a vacuum as it has more mass than a mouse.
To be really pedantic, both elephant and mouse are affected by gravity, but only have mass. True weightlessness is also impossible as gravity doesn't have a distance limit, it just gets really low.
What else do you bite and not swallow? I mean if its anything like family feud (which ive seen it compared to before) then youre looking for multiple correct answers and gum, a towel, a belt, a person if youre kinky, a mouth guard if youre into sports or really kinky, what else is there?
27:18 Sandi, commenting on the audience's singing: "That was really shit." Well, what do you expect, Sandi? You didn't tell people to remember the lyrics, and during the song the elves put the lyrics up exactly when they should be sung, instead of half a second before so that people could read what they should sing _before_ they have to sing it.
I have some fun quizzing/test taking stories... let me put it this way i have adhd and aspergers (the weirdly charismatic and smart variety) and i live in america so in school i had all the amphetamines i could need. My exploits involve a clean sweep of the gold for 20k pages of materials i had only had for 2 weeks when i had also not slept more than 10 hours in those 2 weeks and the story of how i accadentally made our schools mascot change from cougar to sewer cats for one of the quiz competitions
A part of me actually thinks that the weightless mouse and weightless elephant would feel the same when they impacted you. Because while the mouse will have a higher velocity on account of it having a smaller mass, it will still hit you with the same amount of force the elephant does, assuming they are both accelerated towards you with the same amount of force.
Actually yea, newton's second law says that Force equals Mass times Acceleration, and momentum is defined as Mass times Velocity, so theoretically yes, if they were thrown with the same force (and the force was applied for the same amount of time) then they would have the same momentum. I assumed, the first time I heard the question, that they were being thrown at the same velocity, in which case the momentum of the elephant is much greater
@SkyBlue-cv8qb youre confusing mass and weight, an understandable misunderstanding mass is intrinsic weight is mass×gravity otherwise the moment an astronaut pushed off the wall of the space station it would go flying, also technically there is no such thing as 0 gravity, gravity is infinite just incredibly weak, every thing with mass has some level of its own gravity and every thing with gravity is always pulling on every other thing with gravity, it just gets very weak very fast as you move away from an object. But beyond that they are in orbit which means they are actively still within earth's gravity but far enough away that they will fall forever around the earth not toard it
In comparison to airplanes from WW 1 (Fokker Dr I had a mass of about 585kg [~1300 lbs]) -- how old is Dumbo and what kinda elephant (never seen the movie... he's male I presume by the name?)
Must be a British thing not asking for Directions, i got no qualms aboit it whatever and would have asked as soon as neccessary b4 reaching Destination.....Google Map and Waze makes it redundant to ask any1 these days
