Is it possible for a spring to offset gravity

Equal and opposing forces cancel each other.

So… The bottom weight is being pulled up by the tension of the spring. For a a couple of millisecs.

A spring can balance gravity, but only in a very specific way: it can hold an object in equilibrium, not remove gravity itself. If the spring’s upward force equals the object’s weight, the object stays suspended—but gravity still acts. The spring doesn’t cancel gravity.

No. Gotta track the center of mass. It will all work out then.

It doesn't offset gravity. The upwards spring force is cancelling the acceleration (9.82m/s2) which means the bottom end doesn't get to move.

acoustic levitation, uses high-intensity sound waves to counteract gravity and suspend objects in mid-air

a spring can counteract gravity at equilibrium or reduce its effect dynamically, but it won’t make gravity disappear it just redistributes forces.

The whole point of this experiment is to demonstrate the speed of information in solids, there is no offset to gravity. The ball at the end of the slinky “realises” that it’s falling late because information teavels in speed of soumd in solids.

Yes, if the spring is built by NASA and blessed by a wizard

inside the gravity

A force opposing gravity is counteracting... gravity... groundbreaking

Measure it from the center of mass

@AshtonForbes

The centre of mass accelerates downward like any object in free fall.

Mind blown every time! 🤯 That bottom just chilling in mid-air is peak physics magic. What's the biggest slinky you've ever dropped?

So a space elevator

Okay. Now put a rocket motor on the bottom and a weight on top.

That’s a 4th gen Honda Prelude

It’s because gravity is a push, not a pull

Nothing can offset gravity But great question though💪👏👏 Other things coming into play But no, gravity is gravity, just wish understood it better💪❤️

Okay how does this apply to Bellamy

> Adding weight Weight disambiguated from mass?

I've learnt something today

Gravity set the amount of tension.

@grok به طور خلاصه این ویدیو چی داره میگه؟

Very interesting

Hover means remain at same height relative to the ground That car was falling So were the springs, just in smaller amounts

A magnet falls slowly through a copper tube due to Lenz’s Law. As it moves, it induces eddy currents in the tube, which create a magnetic field opposing the magnet’s motion. This slows it down, acting like a brake.

Very cool 😎

I would love to see the math for this. That would be one interesting force body diagram

Wow

I feel like it's only possible if it is.
