    Your analogy doesn’t hold up, because factors get ignored in physics discussion all the time. Whem was the last time you’ve see a question in a dynamics class that didn’t ignore air resistance for the sake of simplicity?

    The effect you’re describing is orders of magnitude smaller than that. I doubt the change would even register in a double floating-point variable if you did the calculations in Matlab
