What Finding Did Galileo Uncover Regarding Falling Objects
1. Define gravity
An attracting force that acts between any 2 objects.
2. What is the difference between mass and weight?
Weight is the measure of the gravitational attraction of an object, while mass is the amount of matter in an object, the measure of an object’s resistance to motion.
3. How does mass affect the motion of an object?
The greater the mass, the harder it is to speed up or slow down an object.
4. What finding(s) did Galileo uncover regarding falling objects?
He conducted an experiment from the leaning tower of pisa (probably false), with cannon balls, and dropped them and found out that even though objects could have different weights, they fall at the same speed. He also realized that air can affect the way an object falls,
