Question

During the Renaissance, the scientist Galileo dropped 2 different mass balls from the leaning tower of Pisa. This is shown above. According to what you learned this week, which of the following is the result of Galileo's experiment?


1. The heavier ball will curve away from the building due to momentum, and hit the ground 2nd but farther away from the building.


2. The lighter ball experiences less air resistance, so it hits the ground first.


3. The heavier, more massive ball will hit the ground first because it accelerates faster than the smaller ball.


4. Both balls hit the ground at the same time, because air resistance is not very large and gravity accelerates all objects equally.
