No because the apple has already been accelerated to the velocity of the earth. For example, consider this sane thought except a passenger in a moving vehicle- the apple will not fly backwards if dropped.

A vehicle is an enclosed environment not subject to velocity while travelling inside the vehicle. Unless of course you’re in a convertible, like the earth with no roof or windows. Earth being a convertible, there is no way it is moving. You cant have a gas barrier around your convertible that keeps the environment out.

You cant have a gas barrier around your [planet] that keeps the environment out.

That’s incorrect:

Specifically in the context of:

Are you a shill?

Point me to the specific part of your link that explains how earths atmosphere is maintained against the vacuum of space without a hard barrier to separate

It’s called gravity genius. And that link is about the atmosphere being dragged by the earths rotation (no-slip boundary layer fluid dynamics), nothing to do with the force of gravity overcoming the other forces acting on particles of gas which make up the atmosphere (thus “holding in” the atmosphere without some kind of firmament or whatever it is you’re suggesting here). Two different concepts.

The good thing about this thought experiment is that it's easy enough to try IRL

At over 1000 miles an hour? Strange, working against the centrifugal forces of a fidget spinner can create quite a force against your fingers, but we can spin about the surface of the earth at super sonic speeds without feeling any motion?

Here’s an article that answers your question, and it was written for a 10 year old girl:

Here is a link to prolapsed anus. I don't recommend it be viewed by any human at all. Let me know if you like it. I'm sure you will.

Now for your information, I said nothing of the sorts as that article implies. So, are you that ten year old girl? Because if so, you are one retarded child.

I’m sure digging that image out of your archives was the highlight of your day, but let’s just review what you said and what little Sallly Fruitcake said:

You:

but we can spin about the surface of the earth at super sonic speeds without feeling any motion?

Her:

How fast would Earth need to spin for humans to be thrown into space?

Seems to be the same core question, no?

Part of me wants to click just to confirm it’s a prolapsed anus but my preference to avoid the image is overpowering my curiosity

Without fail, literally every single time, the globers include ad hominem attacks with their responses

Every single time
