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?
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?
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?
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
