This is a property accessed by scripting. Affects gravity, force, and Acceleration when falling.

Probably implemented around 8 years ago.

"Affects gravity, force, and Acceleration when falling."

all objects fall at the same rate.

"gravity" and "acceleration when falling" is the same thing.

what the heck do you mean by "force".

lol six is right.

Drop a pencil and a bowling ball out the window, it will fall at the same rate.

weight is the force applied on a mass by gravity... This probably wouldn't be a property in a part by rather a gravity property in the lighting or workspace.

Umm... no -.-

Gravity actually affects different masses differently, as it is proportional to the objects mass.

While two identical objects with different weight (density, we can say) will fall at the same right, two nonidentical masses will not fall at the same rate (shown by the balled-up sheet of paper and flat sheet of paper experiment)

Also I forgot, if roblox would add gravity, then they might as well add air resistance, which probably wouldn't be a bad idea so players would build more realistic airplanes.

Sorry, but being in college Physics with a textbook in front of me with the exact information is kind of enough for me.

yeah but air resistance would probably be hard (if you wanted it to be able to work with lift to make proper planes) (not just drag based on velocity not direction etc.)

That has nothing to do with gravity.
Force by gravity is proportional to mass and acceleration is inversely proportional to mass, therefore acceleration by gravity is a constant.
Other factors, like air resistance, affect it, but ostensibly ROBLOX has no air.

*MASS* is something completely different. We can modify the gravity (weight) by using body force; we cannot change parts' inertia, though.

So we need a Mass property, and not a weight one, if any.

MrNicNak, your experiment is showing the effects of air resistance on different shapes, and not masses. In an air free environment, if the two pieces of paper were droped, then they would fall at the same rate.

It's not my experiement, and there was no mention of a vacuum here. Obviously everything adheres to the same rate in a vacuum.

We weren't talking about an object's motion through a fluid.
