I Do objects of differing mass fall at the same rate in a magnetic field?

AI Thread Summary
Gravity is not classified as a force in the traditional sense, while magnetism is recognized as a force. The discussion suggests that more massive magnetic objects may be attracted to a magnetic source more rapidly than less massive ones. Participants are encouraged to explore the implications of this idea within established scientific principles. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying science behind these concepts. Overall, the topic invites further exploration of the dynamics between mass and magnetic attraction.

TL;DR Summary
Do massive objects fall at the same rate in fields other than the gravitational field?
Gravity isn't a force in the strictest sense of the word, yet magnetism is exactly that: a force. As is strong, EW, etc.
Therefore, it's possible that the more massive magnetic object gets drawn to the center of a magnetic source at a faster rate than the less massive magnetic object. Discuss!

Hello @Constellar ,
:welcome: ##\qquad ## !​

Are you trying to offload a homework assignment, or trying to actually start a discussion ?
If the former, read the guidelines and post your best effort.
And if the latter: well, what are your thoughts ?

Try again, this time without the attitude.

What you are speculating about is pretty well established science. How much do you know about that? What does it tell us regarding your scenario?

Yes.

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
