At t=2, your acceleration will be the same as on RE.  IT'S THAT SIMPLE.  NOTHING IS CHANGED EXCEPT THE METHOD IN WHICH GRAVITATION WORKS.  Terminal velocity will be the same.  Everything will be the same.  STFU, GTFO.

no it will not calculate the acceleration on the object and you will see that it is not the same

Then you have just proved the EP to be incorrect.  Congratulations.  Arguing the exact same point with you page after page, even though numerous other independent posters have shown you to be wrong is getting very old.  And annoying.

Okay, let's take this one step at a time.

On FE:

1. You drop an object.

2. The Earth begins to accelerate towards the object, pushing air with it.

3. Though the object initially had an acceleration of 0 m/s2, it will now begin to accelerate due to air resistance.

4. The object reaches 9.8 m/s2.  It is now going a constant speed.

Now, this conforms exactly with the equivalence principle.  The only thing changed in this scenario compared to RE is our perspective.

On RE:

1. You drop an object.

2. The object begins to accelerate at 9.8 m/s2 towards the Earth.

3. As it encounters air, friction builds until the object begins to decelerate.

4. The object now has an acceleration of 0 m/s2 and is going a constant speed.

Besides our perspective, there is NOTHING different between the two scenarios.

Now I ask you, what IN THE WORLD would change the acceleration or anything between the two scenarios?

no it will not calculate the acceleration on the object and you will see that it is not the same
Then you have just proved the EP to be incorrect.  Congratulations.  Arguing the exact same point with you page after page, even though numerous other independent posters have shown you to be wrong is getting very old.  And annoying.

you can not relate it to the earth only to the air passing by it. that is why you can't apply the EP to the 2

Okay then.

1. Object sitting still

2. Air rushing past at g.

3. Object begins to accelerate.

4. Object reaches g.

Tahdah!  No Earth.

now using that show what the accleration will be at t=2 and then show that it will be the same as the RE model and if you want to still claim the EP then proove that the equations are the same

your reading skills are amazing so how about showing that the EP is valid for t=2 since there is no argument that the EP can be applied to the end results as far as you would be unable to tell if you were moving up or down

Why would the equivalence principle change depending on circumstances?

It doesn't.  Otherwise acceleration and gravitation would not be equivalent and it would be pretty useless.

Find a source that says that the equivalence principle is not valid until such and such acceleration and then I'll continue arguing.

Otherwise, I find your stupidity insulting.

the EP does not change depending on the Circumstances it either can be applied or it cant. The EP is used to explain identical accelerating frames which is why an accelerating FE can equate the effect of gravitation but it can only be applied to a local FoR that is sufficiently small enough that nothing changes. Now when we relate it to our problem at hand the EP can not be applied because the objects will accelerate at different rates based upon the model. We can apply the EP to describe the behavior after it reaches its terminal velocity because they will be accelerating with the same magnitude

Sorry I didn't have time to go over this "argument", but when did they claim that?
by relating the entire acceleration to the surface of the earth because the end result of the object should be 9.81m/s/s.
But they say there are no balancing forces. There is only a constant upwards acceleration relative to the Earth's.

The EP only applies to a local FoR because of tidal forces.  In this case, tidal forces are of no consequence, so the EP can be applied as is.

Ok, so let's take air resistance out of the equation.  Let's drop the balls in a vacuum chamber.  Since the balls will never reach terminal velocity, we can't us the EP?  What are the varying accelerations these balls will see, according to you?

then we can apply the EP with no air resistance. the accleration that is caused by air resistance is why we can not apply the EP. tidal forces get looked at second, after we look to see if the 2 different accelerations are equal in magnitude, if they are then we look at tidal forces, then we can apply the EP, which is why after both objects stop accelerating in reference to the air we can apply the EP but until that point they accelerations are different so hence no EP

barnet, you're wrong.  I'm sorry but you just are.  Your objection was based around what an accelerometer reads a few pages ago, and I have decisively shown that your interpretation is flawed.  FE and RE in this instance give the same results - just please read what I said before about the operation of an accelerometer:

Quote from: Matrix and his best pal, Einstein
What is happening, essentially, is that a test mass is 'falling' towards the ground on one end of a spring. The other end of the spring is attached to you, which can not fall since you are standing on the ground, therefore it measures an extension of the spring and outputs an acceleration.

Now imagine you have just jumped out of the plane. Now the weight on the spring is falling towards the ground, but so are you (at exactly the same rate).  The spring does not extend and so no acceleration is measured. This will be the same in orbit or anywhere else where you are in free fall.  Once you are out of the plane, the drag from the air will start to increase, which means the accelerometer can start to extend again (giving a reading) until you reach terminal velocity and the reading is the same as on the ground.

The equivalence principle applies at all times - it wouldn't be much of a principle otherwise.
Quote from: Arthur Schopenhauer
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Here is what the EP states:
1) The forces of gravitation and acceleration are equivalent, and "free fall", orbital motion, and "coasting" cause both to vanish: we deduce from this:
2) the force of gravity is actually the convergent, accelerated motion of spacetime, explaining the equivalence of gravitational weight and inertial mass;
3) Free fall, orbit, (or "coasting") is the condition of co-moving with the metric field, whether accelerated or not;
4) Since all falling, orbiting, (or "coasting") objects are co-movers with the metric field of spacetime, they are also co-movers with each other (or at rest relative to each other), explaining the fact that all objects fall with the same acceleration in a gravitational field.

Since an object moving through air will not truly be in "free fall" because of air resistance we cannot apply the EP
