Question

galileo and gravity
galileo thought that if you dropped two objects from the exact same height, it would not matter what they weighed, they would both hit the ground at the same time. he performed this famous experiment in the leaning tower of pisa, since it was tall and the difference in time when they landed could be seen. to everyone’s surprise, both objects hit the ground at the same time.
question: how do you think galileo knew what was going to happen?

Explanation:

Galileo likely used logical reasoning and prior study of motion. He might have analyzed the concept of free fall, considering forces (like gravity) and resistance. He could have deduced that in a vacuum (or with minimal air resistance, as in the experiment's context), mass doesn't affect fall time, so he predicted the outcome before the experiment.

Answer:

Galileo likely used logical deduction and study of motion principles (like analyzing free fall, gravity, and air resistance's minimal impact in his setup) to predict the objects would hit the ground simultaneously.
