Answer 1

Well, Aristotle first developed the hypothesis that an object of more mass, take a bowling ball for example, will fall faster than an object of less mass, e.g. a tennis ball. For Aristotle’s time this seemed pretty plausible, as surely something heavier will displace more air than the lighter object, which would have more resistance. Galileo thought this over in the 17th century. According to one anecdote, which may or may not have happened, the Italian astronomer dropped two balls, one heavier than the other, from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The reason both balls landed at the same time—notwithstanding their apparent difference in weight—is explained through a thought experiment: Aristotle imagined, for example’s sake, an 8lb ball and a 4lb ball. Say you tied them together. The 8lb ball would fall faster and drag the 4lb after it. Again, it seemed true. But Galileo saw it as the 8lb ball and 4lb combining to create a total mass of 12lb, thereby causing both balls to land at the same time at a constant pace.
Hence Aristotle's and Galileo's theories from each other.✌✌
