In the post you are replying to, my animation is not the same as before
but it is
https://www.geogebra.org/m/bqvyp3wk where the surface is
spherical.
In this animation there are red gravitational forces that have two
distinct functions:
- they compress body A against the Earth, without accelerating either
body A or the Earth (therefore, they are forces that, in this case,
compress but do not accelerate)
- and they accelerate body B in free fall towards the Earth (and vice
versa) without compressing (therefore, they are forces which, in this
case, accelerate and do not compress).
These red forces never disappear because in the gravitational field
(where bodies A and B are found) they are always present and act (as I
specified above) both on stationary bodies (like body A) and on those
in free fall (like body B).
Only the effect that the red forces generate changes: compression in
one case and acceleration in the other.
My animation therefore demonstrates that (in free fall) the only forces
that disappear are the blue and black contact forces (action and
reaction) but the red gravitational forces do not disappear, the
effects of which are evident and measurable.
