Larger muscles on earth than MCIt could be part of the cause of cuboid bodies, but that will require more research.
Cuboid bodies could reflect on that fact.
Could also be why it is easier to pick up blocks (all 27*64 of them).
This could also be why it is easier to destroy blocks, due to a smaller gravitational force holding them together and in place.
Also, did you look into air resistance? It could well be different.
I don't think it would explain why the player can carry so many blocks, since smaller gravity plus smaller muscles still means that you could carry about the same amount of mass.
This also could explain why it is easier to destroy blocks, but it would only explain a small part of it because the force is 73% of ours.
Also, atmosphere depends on things other than gravity. Take Venus for example. It has nearly the same mass as Earth, but it has 95 times the atmospheric pressure of Earth. I would need other information to determine atmospheric pressure on the ME.
Thank you for the speculation, I appreciate it.Most interesting experiment ever. Jeez! (You must be good at math!)
Haha, I'm not in Pre-Calculus and AP Physics for nothing. Glad you liked it!
i have only one response to this:I was waiting for that.

I have an idea:It doesn't matter what it's dropped from, or what it is, everything falls at 14.4622 m/s2 in Minecraft. I also made the comparison to real life in the article.
compare the drop of a certain block from the drop key (q), drop from a despensor, and drop from a dropper (1.5)
then compare that to another certain block
then compare those to real life

holy crap Wy this is really cool!!!Thanks!
I think you just put random numbers in and went to minecraft wiki.......nah I'm joking this is coolHaha, thanks. I also posted it on Minecraft Wiki. It's still there, so I take that as an accomplishment.
All I can say is wow. You sir have to much time on your hands lol. All games operate on rules (I haven't coded any but I have created some games using different programs.) One of the hardest rules to understand is the gravity rule. You explained it very well. Good job.Thank you! I would have just looked inside of the code, but I wanted to emulate real world science. I.E. in real life, you can't look inside the code for the acceleration of gravity.
It doesn't matter what it's dropped from, or what it is, everything falls at 14.4622 m/s2 in Minecraft. I also made the comparison to real life in the article.
I haven't confirmed that yet, but I will check soon. I can't do it today, though. And thank you.It doesn't matter what it's dropped from, or what it is, everything falls at 14.4622 m/s2 in Minecraft.

nice piece of maths and physics.
I have 2 parties that helped me. Mojang and Issac Newton.Thanks, and I will test gravel and anvils tomorrow. Minecart kinematics is a different experiment altogether.
But really, this is awesome. And do items and gravel/sand/anvils fall the same? Also minecarts on slopes?
Alright. But you could test momentum by the carts leaving tracks at different angles/speeds. I do know that carts travel farther while occupied. And maybe see if wind resistance slows down the anvil, or if weight has anything to do with it.I have 2 parties that helped me.

Thanks, and I will test gravel and anvils tomorrow. Minecart kinematics is a different experiment altogether.No need, sand, enderdragon eggs, gravel, anvils and primed trinitrotoluene at a rate of 16 ms^-2
That would be because they have greater potential energy which is translated into kinetic energy when in motion.Alright.

I can't really test minecarts at different angles, since sloped track is always sloped at 45 degrees. I can do different speeds. First, I'll probably have an occupied cart at the bottom of a slope and an occupied cart at the top of a slope. I'll push the occupied cart off and see what happens when they collide. My hypothesis is that the cart that I pushed will completely stop and the cart at the bottom of the hill will take off with the speed of the other cart before they collided (think Newton's cradle). Different speeds will follow that experiment.Alright. But you could test momentum by the carts leaving tracks at different angles/speeds. I do know that carts travel farther while occupied.

Though what do i know? I took physics freshman year and completely forgot everything i ever learned in that class xD

By learning the characteristics of the ME, we can compare and contrast how life on it compares to Earth.You did all of this to cc life? Usually I just play Flow Free or go out with friends.
Awesome. Thanks wy!We know the ME orbits its star, but it would be impossible to determine its orbital period. The star has no perigee or apogee, and the ecliptic's altitude does not change. The only conclusions we can draw from this are that the ME's orbit around its star is circular, and that its axis is pendicular to its plane of orbit.
The PE and KE equations made sense.
Now is it possible to determine if the planet orbits? I know we are given the length of a minecraft day to a year on the wiki. But how fast does the minecraft earth orbit, if at all?
Can we calculate axial tilt, if any?
Is it possible to translate the intensity of the sunlight equipped with the biome its in, into temperature? I doubt this is possible. But how awesome would it be if we could do it.
First off, you can's start assuming that the measured constants of our universe would be the same in the minecraft universe. For instance: g=9.816m/s^2 on earth... but (as you noted) you can't assume that this would be the same on any planet! In the same way, you couldn't assume that G would be the same as in this universe. The reason that we have a value for G in the first place is because we conducted experiments in physics to determine it. You'd have to do the same for the Minecraft universe.You are correct in saying that g differs between planets, as it is dependent on mass and radius. However, in our universe, G is a constant. I see no reason why we shouldn't assume that G is the same in the Minecraft universe, and since we cannot replicate Candevish's experiment, we really have no other choice.
Even if we assume that G is the same in this universe, you have used the wrong equations. For instance, you are using equations for gravity that require the Minecraft earth to be spherical. In reality, you very easily could have used Gaussian physics OR Newtonian physics and advanced calculus to show that the vector for gravity on a (relatively) infinite, flat plane is perpendicular to the surface, downward, and equal to 2*pi*G*p*H, where pi=3.1415..., p is the average density of the the object per unit, and H is the thickness of the object. From this, you would get a very accurate value for g. However, even with this, since the Minecraft world could, in theory, expand infinitely outward, you can't use this value to calculate the mass of ME.
If you ask me, in order for the minecraft universe's physics to make sense, there must be a super dense (probably neutron star material-esk) layer of material a few hundred blocks below the layer of bedrock to account for the gravity. This makes sense, since it's density would make it absorb light, explaining the darkness below the map. Also, it would explain why the player dies when they pass to a certain depth below the map (spagetification).
Also, I would like to use Gauss's law for Earth.
g=(2*pi*G)pH
9.81=(2*3.141592654*6.67e-11)p*6378100
9.81=0.002672988p
p=3670.05 kg/m3
p=36700.5 g/cm3
By this calculation, the Earth is, on average, 1,902.566 times as dense as gold. Obviously something is wrong here.
...Once again... what are you doing?I did a bit of research on Gauss's law. I found a video stating that it was g*A=4*pi*G*M, where g= gravitational acceleration, A=Area, G=Gravitational constant, and M=mass. Using this equation, I found M=1.553 * 1025 kg. This wasn't exactly what you had posted, however, so I will wait for your approval of this. The mass I found with Newton's law was 1.924 * 1025 kg, not too far off from what Gauss's law states. Assuming this new value is accurate, my percent error was 23.89%.QuoteAlso, I would like to use Gauss's law for Earth.
g=(2*pi*G)pH
9.81=(2*3.141592654*6.67e-11)p*6378100

p=3670.05 kg/m3
p=36700.5 g/cm3
By this calculation, the Earth is, on average, 1,902.566 times as dense as gold. Obviously something is wrong here.
This equation only works with an infinite planar region... like ME. The Earth is not an infinite plane, so this would not apply in the way that you tried. You can't just pick random equations and use them.
As for your mass equation... it doesn't work. Even a little. Even though you get an answer, it is the result of a misapplication of an incorrect formula. Gausse's law DOES work here for calculating the density of the MC earth, which you would then multiply by it's volume (easily determinable to get it's mass). I was showing that something is OBVIOUSLY going on that we can't see, since the density is so much greater than what we observe.
That is how science works... not random application of formulas.
