Galileo determined that all objects in free fall near the surface of the earth?

Because up to that time, everybody knew that heavy objects obviously fall faster
than light objects do, and obviously hit the ground sooner than light objects do,
except that everybody was wrong.

What is the area of the Earth's surface where a satellite signal can be received?
The â??footprintâ?? is the area of the Earthâ??s surface where a satellite signal can be received. The footprint on Earth is determined by the footprint of the antennas on the satellites.
Describe two forces that can affect an objects velocity?
Friction and Gravity are the two forces that affects an object's velocity. Friction is caused by both air and the surface on which an object is moving. Gravity is caused by Earth.
Mass wasting changes the surface of the earth quickly True or False?
mass wasting changes the surface of the earth quickly
Uplift replaces rocks on Earth's surface lost to the process of what?
Uplift replaces rocks on Earth's surface lost the process of erosion.
What two things did Galileo contribute to modern science?
He Discovered that Earth was not the center of the solar system , Jupiter Has four moons and Venus has a face like a moon!! He also discovered the rings of Saturn. all this he just use one telescope?
What did Galileo Galilel discoverer?
Galileo Galileo discovered the objects in the solar system orbited the sun not the earth
What contributions did Galileo Galilei make to your world?
Galileo Galilei proved that objects in the solar system orbit around the sun, not the earth. He found this out by observing variations in venus's phases that could not be explained if all objects orbited the earth
What did Galileo idea have to do wiht the law of gravity?
It is said that Galileo showed that objects of different mass fell to earth at the same velocity; that is, the gravitational force was the same.
Who made the first oberservations of objects in the solar system that orbited neither the sun nor earth?
Galileo
What percentage of the earth is covered by man-made objects?
man made objects cover about 32 % of the earth surface
What force pulls objects down to earth's surface?
Gravity
What Global climate is determined by?
Global climate is determined by the transfer of solar energy at and near the Earth's surface.
Objects near the surface of the earth fall because what are by the earth?
Gainnkn kinetic energy
How did Galileo observation of Jupiter's moons help show the geocentric explanation is incorrect?
Galileo's found that these moons revolved around Jupiter, not Earth, thus demonstrating that it was possible for celestial objects to revolve around something other than Earth.
What evidence is there that the gravitational pull also pulls on objects closer to the surface of earth?
the objects fall to the ground
How would you explain how Galileo changed history?
Galileo changed history by expressing his idea that the Earth and all of the planets revolved around the sun. Before Galileo everyone thought that all objects in space revolved around the Earth. Galileo changed this, and put the idea of everything orbiting around the Sun. True.......though he was a person we will always rember............
What is true about an objects fall velocity as it approaches the earth's surface?
The velocity increases as it approaches the earth.
