    Galileo performed experiments to show that all objects fall at the same rate in a vacuum, contradicting Aristotle's view that heavier objects fall faster. Through dropping cannon balls of different weights from the Leaning Tower of Pisa and timing balls rolling down an inclined plane, Galileo found that objects accelerate downward at the same rate of about 9.8 m/s^2 regardless of their mass. His experiments established that gravity causes all objects to undergo uniform free fall acceleration and disproved Aristotle's idea of heavier objects falling faster.

    Module 5: How Galileo

    Inferred that Objects in


    Vacuum fall with Uniform
    Acceleration

    Group 1 Report November 29, 2022


    Motion is defined as the ability of an object
    to change its position with respect to its
    surroundings in given time.
    Terms associated with motion:
    Free fall is an example of motion with
    uniform acceleration.
    Acceleration which means the change in
    velocity with a given time.
    Speed which is the distrance travelled of an
    object in a specific ammount of time
    Aristotle's View of Motion

    heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones


    force would be needed to have a constant
    velocity
    force is required for violent but not natural
    motion
    Galileo's View of Motion
    object that are heavy or light will fall at the
    same time in vacuum
    force is not necessarily required for violent
    motion
    force is not required for object moving at
    constant velocity
    Experiment 1

    Galileo dropped two different weights of


    cannon ball to the Leaning Tower of Pisa and
    they fell at the same time

    but could not
    measure the distance travelled therefore he
    proceeded to another experimentation
    Experiment 2
    Galileo used the inclined ramp in order to measure the
    acceleration of an object. He used a rolling ball to measure
    the changes. He measured that objects accelerates at the

    and mass.
    same time regardless of their size
    Speed is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time
    taken to travel the distance
    A ball rolling down an inclined plane increases its speed by the
    same value after every second

    The speed of the rolling ball was found to


    increase by 2 m/s every second.
    Free Fall and Gravity
    Freely falling bodies undergo constant
    acceleration in which it is referred to as free fall.
    Represented by a symbol g which means gravity.

    Gravity (g) is approximately 9.8 m/s2

    Gravity leads the object to accelerate in a


    constant rate
    Horizontal Motion
    View of Aristotle
    Natural state of object at rest

    View of Galileo
    Imagined motion will continue without
    friction
    Horizontal versus Vertical Motion
    Horizontal :constant in value which represent by x axis
    rolling balls
    inertia
    leaning tower of Pisa

    Vertical : changing value which represent by y axis


    free fall
    Aristotle versus Galileo
    That's all for our presentation
    thank you!
