Maybe the most famous scientific experiment is Galileo Galilei's dropping objects from the leaning tower of Pisa in order to prove that all objects fall at the same rate, whatever their mass. Many think that thi
This paper aims to formalize Galileo's argument (and its variations) against the Aristotelian view that the weight of free-falling bodies influences their speed. Iobtain this via the application of concepts of parthood and of mereological sum, and via recognition of aprinciple which is not ...
Galileo Galilei was born into a family in Pisa,Italy. He liked to think about everything. When he was studying the law of freely falling bodies.Galileo doubted Aristotle's ide a of“heavy objects(物体)falling faster”.He thought,“If a light object falls slower, then it will cause two ...
Galileo proved that the objects in motion have a constant speed when no external force is applied on them. The Inertia Experiment proved that an object falling down due to gravity attains equal amount of velocity in equal time intervals as the force acting on a falling body is acceleration ...
Galileo is called the Father of Modern Science. He was the first to develop a scientific theory in which he would observe an event, develop a theory and then experiment to test his theory. He studied motion and performed experiments by dropping objects from heights such as the Leaning Tower ...
First I prepared a tube of lead, at the ends of which I fitted two glass lenses, both plane on one side while on the other side one was spherically convex and the other concave. — Galileo Galilei The Starry Messenger (1610), trans. Stillman Drake, Discoveries and Opinions of Galileo (...

During the Apollo 15 lunar mission, American astronaut David Scott performed Galileo’s theory of falling objects on the Moon. Scott dropped a hammer and a feather at the same time and sure enough they fell to the lunar surface at the same time. As he performed the experiment, Scott remarke...
Galileo Galilei was not only an astrologist, but a physicist, mathematician, and philosopher. Galileo received the name “The Father of Modern Science”, he gained it due to his his role in the scientific revolution. Galileo is the one who put together most of experiment theory and ...
In this chapter, we will study in detail the bases of classical mechanics: Newton’s three laws. Classical mechanics was found not to describe well the motions in certain realms. For ordinary objects, classical mechanics is important and very useful.
