yeah. kinda.but that's quite different from what i'm saying. the gravitational force is greater when more mass is added by either gravitor. the inertia from any one of the gravitors is what makes the rates of acceleration from the resultant attraction the same for that gravitor and any other relative to a mutual object.
the inertia balance from the acceleration equation is the key observation.
So, since Earth and Luna both have sufficient inertia for to remain more or less unaffected by the hammer or feather, it's only the inertia, mass, etc of the hammer and feather that we need be concerned about, yes?
quite similar, but that the mass of an object determines both the force of gravitation with another and its inertia. rather than 'is equal to', 'is equal and opposite to' specifically with regard to determining its acceleration under gravitation.So what you're saying is that as mass increases, the increase in inertia is equal to the increase in gravitational attraction the object possesses? That's why the hammer and the feather fall at the same rate when under the influence of the same third object (gravitator)?
yeah. on overcoming, i remind that this is not total, and that the feather does act on the earth. it is also equally and oppositely forcing the earth toward it, albeit negligibly.However, while both Luna and Earth both possess sufficient gravitational attraction to overcome the inertia of the hammer and the feather, Earth's stronger pull, being stronger, causes greater acceleration in both the hammer and the feather as they are attracted to it, compared to Luna. Hence any two objects that are small enough so as to not over come the inertia of a third-party gravitator will, in a vacuum and under the influence of no other forces, gravitate towards that third-party gravitator with equal acceleration to eachother, and that rate is determined by the strength of the gravitator's attraction, the gravitational effects of the lesser bodies being nullified as they continuously overcome their own inertia during acceleration towards the gravitator?
Its velocity doesn't increase as it accelerates? Is not the very definition of acceleration 'an increase in velocity or change in its direction'?none of the total gives rise to velocity through acceleration.
