Hec answered it in whitefont, and then Jesse kinda withdrew, since it wasn't a trip whose primary purpose was to see MichiBuffistas.
The Crying of Natter 49
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, ita, sorry - I misunderstood what you misunderstood.
if there was a...fuck...I'm drawing a blank...turning point in relative densities
Phase transition?
I think Tommy had the best illustration, just imagine tilting the car up instead of accelerating forward. You still get pushed into your seat, but it's easier to see why the balloon goes forward in the car.
Hec gave a whitefont answer.

That part was awesome, though!!!
Hec whitefonted the answer: Jesse and Emily
You have a frictionless rollercoaster on an airless planet
I don't believe you. Continue.
with a gravity of 10m/s^2. The drive that takes the cars from the flat platform area to the first drop imparts a velocity of 1m/s at the very top of the first drop. The cars arrive back at the platform area with a velocity of 41m/s before braking. How tall is the first drop relative to the platform?
4 m.
20m?
Yep, unless I made a mistake which is all too possible.
I plead skimming and already knowing the answer.
I don't believe you. Continue.
Yeah, and you probably don't believe in spherical cows either.
Crap. I figured the velocity increased by 40 m/s, and since the acceleration was 10 m/s/s, a drop over 4 s increased the velocity by 40 m/s.
Oh, I guess that didn't actually include anything about the height of the drop. Fuck.
