If you have 2 iron spheres and a magnet, the lighter sphere will move first to the magnet. But with earths gravity fall tests we know that every object falls with the same speed when dropped no matter theirs weight. What makes it different?
In: Physics
Not as physicist so correct me if I am wrong:
Objects falling at the same height are pulled towards the Earth at the same speed no matter how much they weigh.
But objects falling at different heights are pulled towards the Earth at different speeds. Since Earth is enormous and it’s magnetic field is weak this effect is not noticeable.
A small bar magnet will actually have a stronger magnetic field in a smaller sized area so the pull is more dramatic and noticeable.
