Default Re: OT: The 10th Demention

It would drift off very slowly.

It starts at rest relative to you and the surface of the Earth, and you will be pushing 9.8m/s^2 for maybe 1/10th of a second before you notice and stop pushing.

You aren't actually adding any kinetic energy to the box.
Work = force * distance.

Effort feels more like force * time, but it dosen't have any serious meaning.
