Someone needs to update the profiles like why is Vegeta still 5-A when he should be 5-B bc of this
Alright I guess we need to talk about alternatives then
First list all issues with the current one in one easy to read post for people new here who don't want to read two pages
Should reword what I mean
What I mean when I say "Amity was only experiencing 1/4th the gravity of the planet due to the three active stailizers, meaning it would not have been falling fast enough for things to just be flung into the ceiling" and "The stabilizers are not providing a force...
Yeah, but he was being strangely gotten needlessly aggressive and accusative
Although I need some calc members involved given I feel as if it's just me and king bring up the same points with a few new ones
https://vsbattles.com/threads/rwby-penny-lifting-amity-and-bomb-ends.168142/page-2
Check out this thread again, need a calc members opinions on my points given its really just king making me talk in loops
Not really seeing as the heights of green Aurora, which are measurements done by Nasa, support that as well. Them drifting is irrelevant because they arent just drifting horizontally, they are moving both horizontally AND vertically, falling in an arc. At this point it feels like you are just...
King can you calm down?
Seems like you're not responding in a calm way, and wait on calc members too
Also yes, the three gravity dust thrusters did play a part in slowing down its fall given it was falling slower then the speed needed to catch on fire from the friction of the atmosphere...
It doesnt though. We have a distance it fell, and we have a timeframe it fell in. Put those two things together and we get a velocity.
No, 'drift' as in 'moving off course'. Once again, your entire argument is based solely on the claim of 'it doesnt look like its moving fast so it must not be'...
Wait don't smaller objects burn up in the atmosphere way faster then larger objects do?
Also for something to burn up in the atmosphere I'd need to to Mach 5, Amity was falling at Mach 2 instead (make sense Penny would burn up faster given she has no zero gravity thrusters to slow her down as...
Given Penny you know, still caught the damn thing and pushed it back up, she still struggled to lift it meaning it still has Mass and weight, also the fact that we see on the screen as a visual aid for how far it fell
And also the fact that we see how high Amity is originally via penny looking...
The height for amity at its lowest is based on an angsizing calc of where Penny was in the sky using Atlas in the distance as a point of reference, and the value is backed up by the various visual indicators listed in both the OP and the explanation section of the calc itself. 'It doesnt look...
I mean if you can't calculate a different planet then Earth size, we assume everything is the same as earth on the wiki
Like planet size, gravity and more unless stated otherwise or proven otherwise Like Dragon Balls Earth being bigger then our own due to the super dragon balls
The first method isnt even affected by the gravity stabilizer issue being discussed here, because it is the rate that amity was falling and the distance it fell while it had three stabilizers still active. Things like gravity and mass make no difference because it's just a simple distance/time...
That was already done with the first method in the OP. It's taking the height that Amity was at at its peak, measuring the height Amity was at at its lowest, and using the difference as the distance Amity dropped vertically as it was drifting.
Like I said in the response to Rusty's comment, the argument of 'it doesnt look like its being moved that fast' falls apart completely when the only thing being used as a reference for how fast it looks like its moving is the entire night sky. We know exactly how high Amity was at its peak and...
Yes, I already addressed the issues with the Freefall methods in the OP, that's why im pushing more towards the first method with an adjustment of 1/4th the mass rather than the full mass.
That seems unnecessary? The stabilizers are still huge machines attached to Amity, they dont lack mass or...
Alright so there seems to be some slight confusion, sorry if I worded the description weirdly before. In the scene in question, gravity is very much working on Amity because one of the stabilizers that was generating anti-gravity was destroyed, causing Amity to actively fall out of the sky...
Its not making Amity weightless, its negating the pull of gravity on Amity, similar to the mountains around Lake Matsu.
And it still very much demonstrates mass when the stabilizers are active, as Penny has to put active effort into pushing to stop Amity from falling. Its just that with only...
To answer your question of “how do the stabilizers keep Amity from falling”, the answer is "Anti-Gravity". The stabilizers utilize Gravity Dust in order to keep Amity afloat, using a form of anti-gravity that is commonly used to make vehicles in Atlas float, such as cars, trains, and airships...
