Recall Galileo's Leaning Tower experiment. With negligible air resistance, a heavy and a light object fall
A)with equal accelerations.
B)with the same increases in speed.
C)to the ground in equal times.
D)all of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Galileo's Leaning Tower experiment, both heavy and light objects fall with the same acceleration due to gravity, which is approximately 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth's surface. Negligible air resistance means the objects experience the same increase in speed and reach the ground in equal time. Therefore, all the options are correct, and the best choice is D, "all of the above."
