Well, in the beginning, there is only mg on that ball and a teeny-weeny little resistive force. 在开始的时候,只有重力和很小的,阻力作用于物体。
This is* the object is still not moving but if I make m2 g a hair less, just a teeny-weeny little less it will definitely start to accelerate downwards. 这时,系统仍然处于静止,但如果物体二,稍微轻一丁点,系统就就一定会向下加速。
