I have come across multiple videos where an astronaut will let go of an object (just watched one where it was a bolt), and all of them tend to float upwards relative to the camera. Could it just be that earth is actually positioned “up” from the camera so gravity has an effect? or is it that when they let go of the object, they are subtly pushing it upwards? idk could somebody explain.
In: Physics
Without the force of gravity pulling it down specifically, pretty much any small influence pushing or pulling it in any direction will make it go in that direction. More often than not, it’s the slight movements of the hands that just put a little upward energy into that direction.
