I have 2 parties that helped me. Mojang and Issac Newton.But really, this is awesome. And do items and gravel/sand/anvils fall the same? Also minecarts on slopes?

We're not banging rocks together here, we know how to put a body back together

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.
Haha, thanks. I also posted it on Minecraft Wiki. It's still there, so I take that as an accomplishment.

I took physics freshman year and completely forgot everything i ever learned in that class xDBtw wyboth.Quote from: Wyboth on February 05, 2013, 12:09:55 pmHaha, thanks.

By learning the characteristics of the ME, we can compare and contrast how life on it compares to Earth.
Awesome. Thanks wy!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.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).
