Gravity Question: Levitate Objects on Small Planets

AI Thread Summary
Creating a smaller planet with lesser gravitational pull would not allow objects to levitate above its surface. All matter, regardless of size, has gravitational attraction, meaning objects will always be drawn toward the planet. The concept of levitation in this context is flawed, as gravity will ensure contact between the object and the planet. In a vacuum, the gravitational forces still apply, preventing any object from floating indefinitely above the surface. Therefore, it is impossible for an object to hover without touching the surface of a smaller planet.

If I made a planet that was smaller than Earth's and thus had a lesser gravitational pull, would I be able to reach a point of gravity where the object wouldn't completely touch the surface but would instead float just above the surface?

What object? What else do you know about the planet? I will assume you are talking about some small object (compared to the planet). What do you think will happen based on what you know about gravity?
 
This question makes no sense at all. In a vacuum all matter possesses some gravity and thus would be attracted to each other. So, you could not make an object small enough to allow another object to float above its surface.
 

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
