Link to Source: ¨Galileo's experiment¨
In the experiment that I am research, I am studying the old experiments of Galileo. In the experiment that he is doing, he drops two balls, with different weights, from the leaning tower. He wanted to know if falling objects are dependent upon their mass. Through this idea, he made a hypothesis where bodies of the same material falling through the same medium would fall at the same speed. This hypothesis was based on the ideas of Aristole's theory of gravity, where he believes that the heavier object would fall faster than the lighter one. If the heavier object is dependent on their mass, then it would fall faster than the lighter object. The results of this experiment disproved this theory, when both objects were found to have landed at the same time.
