Questions and Answers

What did Galileo find when bodies of different masses and sizes were simultaneously made to fall in vacuum from the same height?

  • The bodies reached the earth surface at different velocities
  • The smaller bodies reached the earth surface first
  • They all reached the earth surface simultaneously and with same velocity (correct)
  • The larger bodies reached the earth surface first

    • What did Galileo observe about the distance traveled by different bodies in the same interval of time?

  • They all traveled the same distance (correct)
  • Larger bodies traveled a greater distance
  • Smaller bodies traveled a greater distance
  • The distance traveled depended on the shape of the bodies

    • What did Galileo find about the velocity of freely falling bodies?

  • Smaller bodies fell with higher velocity
  • The velocity of freely falling body does not depend on its mass (correct)
  • Larger bodies fell with higher velocity
  • The velocity of freely falling body depends on its mass
