Re: Physics QOTD

It says the plane they make is normal to this vertical vector so they should fall "side by side." So wouldn't their acceleration have two components? A vertical gravity component and a horizontal attraction/repulsion component? I don’t think you can forget about the horizontal component, but I wouldn't know how to calculate it without mass either...
