Gravity and inertia are not related

An object subject to a gravitational field must accellerate.  That is
is must constantly increase speed.  This is easy to see because when
the object is first "dropped" gravity causes it to change speed, so at
every point along the way gravity is operative and so causes an
increase.  Only if gravity operated only at the beginning and then was
turned off would we expect the speed not to change.

Consider pushing so hard on an object as to get a pressure that is
equal to the pressure felt by an object resisting the pull of gravity.
Of course we will move this first object at the same changing speed as
a body in a gravitational field would move if the "pressure" of the
supporting surface is removed.
What's so mysterious about that?
(And why is there inertia at all? why does the body resist?  Because
speed equals increased mass and increased energy (yeah, same thing)
and these are not free.)

We intentionally supply an accelleration pressure of one G and then
are amazed that gravity and accelleration seem identical---but we are
the ones who made it come out that way.

Why did you post this sh.t again after having your slack stooopid face
rubbed in it the first time?
Why did you post this sh.t again with the same stooopid spelling
errors?

I explained in another answer that I thought usenet wasn't working
because they had stopped posting stuff immediately.
Al you are the stupidest of responders to trolls.  Most people know to
ignore me.  I tell them and you right up front that I am a troll, I
know zero about physics, and I only do this to get outraged
reactions.  Well you are the only one stoooopid enough to respond.
But even better I can hear you howling in pain.  So I am going to keep
poking you through the bars of your cage as long as you keep
squealing.  (the key is that despite this being trolling you see that
I have a better insight of fundamental physics than you have. Example,
you and others did not realize I was talking about an object subject
to a gravitational field but not on a surface---such an object must
fall or orbit.  Then I mentioned an object of a surface which is
subject to one G of pressure---it reacts the same as another object
subjected to one G of pressure by a rocket.  So what?  Where's the big
mystery?

Are you sure?

My refrigerator is an object subject to a gravitational field and it
hasn't moved at all, much less increased in speed, in the 10 years
since I pushed it in place.

Why did you post this crap again?

Do you think maybe there was someone that missed it the first time
and didn't yet know you were an ignorant, babbling a.s?

But Jim,
The man in the moon said your fridge has been spinning around
and running around the sun for somethign like10 yrs and he was
going to call you up and say your fridge was running but I told him
not to.

I posted it again because I thought usenet wasn't working and it had
not appeared.  OF COURSE an object on a table in a gravitational field
does not fall.  But even though it does not move it does accellerate.
You and Uncle Al have a basic misunderstanding of gravity and inertia.

You must have a rather perverted definition of acceleration.
Acceleration is the change in velocity wrt time.  If an object's
velocity is not changing, it sure as hell will not be accelerating.

The "G" of gravity is the same "G" and astronaut feels at takeoff.
They are equivalent.  Therefore the person standing on the Earth, as
is the astronaut, is accellerating.  And yes that means they are
changing their velocity.  OTOH the person who falls into a deep well
is "static" in a gravitational field.  This is what I mean about
people who know math, like Uncle Al, but who put forth a "layman's
view" of physics.  Read even a popular science type book about
Einstein and you will understand.  It's all relative and equivalent
means equivalent.

Utter drooling, babbling, nonsense.

Seek help for your dementia.

I'd call him a third class troll if that weren't an insult to
real third class trolls.

You "thought usenet wasn't working"?

What a moron.

Even more so if your refrigerator is on a table.

Oh, and I know you will never be able to understand this, but acceleration
is equal to the second derivative of position.

If position is constant, all the derivatives are zero.

Like I said, an ignorant, babbling a.s.

I know that you will never be able to understand this:  I am a
notorious internet troll who did not qualify for high school math.  My
one and only mission is to annoy scientific types, like yourself and
Uncle Al, and get them to make outraged and pained responses.
Your response puts me in troll heaven.
I'd love to troll the chemists but I don't even know enough to put
together good sounding BS about chemistry as I am able to do
concerning "pop" physics.  I've told everyone this many times before
but you keep biting.  I'm throwing you back, I only keep the moderate
size fish like Uncle Al.
