Im having a hard time understanding why we feel acceleration. If a rogue planet crossed our solar sistem close enough to pull us away from the sun, accelerating us until we are expeled into the cosmos, would we feel this acceleration from the surface of the earth?
In: Physics
If something exerts a gravitational pull on earth to the degree that we could “feel” an acceleration. We would likely not care as we would be busy worrying about the kilometer high tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions happening at the same time.
But theoreticly, we should notice if we suddenly got lighter/heavier depending on which direction the entire earth accelerates towards.
