Galileo showed that all bodies fall at the same speed under gravity. He performed his experiments assuming air resistance is ignored.

Who was the scientist who discovered that heavy and light body of the same substance fall at the same speed?

Galileo Galilei, an Italian scientist, is credited with the discovery that heavy and light bodies of the same substance fall at the same speed in a vacuum. He conducted experiments to demonstrate this principle of free fall.


Who developed law of falling bodies that states that all objects fall at the same speed regardless of their mass?

Who dropped weigts from the top of a tower to prove that ghravity affects everything equally?

Galileo Galilei is reported (see addendum) to have dropped a ten-pound weight and a one-pound weight off the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and proved that both fall at the same speed. Of course, a more general principle was being demonstrated, the fact that objects of any weight fall at the same speed (with the same acceleration, actually). Does this experiment fit the bill? Does it, in fact, prove that objects of any weight fall with the same speed or acceleration?

Without friction would all bodies fall at the same rate?

Yes, in the absence of air resistance or other external factors, all bodies would fall at the same rate regardless of their masses. This phenomenon is known as the equivalence principle and was famously demonstrated by Galileo through his experiment at the Leaning Tower of Pisa.


Does everything fall the same speed?

In the absence of air, everything falls with the same acceleration, and reaches the same speed in the same amount of time after being dropped. If things fall through air, though, this isn't true.

Who discovered the law of falling bodies?

The law of falling bodies was discovered by the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei. He demonstrated that all objects, regardless of weight, fall at the same rate when dropped from the same height. This observation laid the foundation for our understanding of gravity and led to significant advancements in the field of physics.


Why don't objects fall to earth at the same velocity?

Air resistance of an object can slow its fall. If every object had the same resistance, everything would fall at the same speed.
