Who proved that all objects fall to earth at the same speed?
It wasn't a proof, but Galileo put on a pretty convincing demonstration with the objects he allegedly dropped from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa.
Where did Galileo carry out his first experiment on gravity?
In his gravity experiment Galileo dropped objects form the Leaning Tower of Pisa, in Italy.
What did Galileo invent from the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
yes.
Who studied physics from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
Galileo
Who dropped the ball off the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
Galileo did.
Why was Aristotle's laws of motion discredited?
"Galileo was the first to really discredit Aristotle's laws. He did this by postulating that heavier objects would hit the ground at the same time as lighter objects, when dropped from the same height. He proved this with a famous demonstration where he dropped two balls of different weights from the leaning tower of Pisa. The balls hit the ground at the same time. Galileo also came up with the idea of inertia. Rather than take Aristotle's view that and object must have a force acting on it to keep moving, Galileo said that an object would move continuously in a straight line as long as no outside forces acted on it."
Why was Aristotle's law of motion discredited?
Aristotle's law of motion was discredited because it relied on the idea that heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects, which was proven to be incorrect by Galileo's experiments. Galileo's work demonstrated that all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their weight, contradicting Aristotle's claims.
Why did Galileo perform the activity in Leaning Tower of Pisa?
Galileo was from Italy, so he went to the highest tower he could.
Who was the astronomer that used to observe the stars from the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
Galileo
What did Galileo drop to make the law of gravity?
tomato from the leaning tower of pisa
How does the Leaning Tower of Pisa link to Galileo galilei?
he made it that's where he was born
What famous landmark did Galileo test his gravity theory from?
He tested it standing on top of the leaning tower of Pisa.
