Leaning Tower of Pisa,' proves objects fall at same speed and acceleration'
What else can I help you with?
Why was Galileo known as the father of experimental physics?
Galileo pioneered the idea of observation and experimentation in Physics. The "example" to show this was Aristotle theorized how many teeth was in a Horses Mouth, Galileo looked and counted the teeth. In other cases Galileo looked thru the Telescope to see the moons. Finally he experimented with inclined planes to prove that the acceleration was the same for heavy and light masses and was famous for his Leaning Tower of Pisa Experiment.
Who developed a stronger telescope and was able to prove that Ptolemy's theories about the moon were wrong?
Galileo Galilei constructed telescopes to conduct his observations. He also disproved the Ptolemaic model.
Did Galileo really drop weights off the Leaning Tower of Pisa or is it just a fun myth?
Viviani, a student of Galileo, wrote about his mentor actually dropping a ten pound weight and a one pound weight off the Leaning Tower of Pisa to demonstrate that they would fall at the same rate. There is no evidence from Galileo himself that he he did the experiment. Since he didn't actually write about doing the experiment, science historians believe that it was not done. He did develop a very interesting thought experiment that led to a contradiction, and to his conclusion that the rate of descent would be the same. See the link below for a fun video of the experiment being carried out on the moon.
What Galileo experiment did Neil Armstrong do when on the moon?
Armstrong didn't actually do an experiment related to Galileo during the Apollo 11 mission, but there was one carried out on Apollo 15. This related to an experiment that Galileo was supposed to have conducted from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, dropping items of different masses. Aristotle had said that objects of different masses would fall at different speeds, but some people thought differently. Galileo did not in fact record actually doing this, and it is believed that it was really just a "thought experiment". The best way to try this out is in a vacuum, so that there is no air resistance, and the size and shape of the objects being used won't make any difference. So on Apollo 15, Dave Scott, the mission commander, dropped a geological hammer and a feather. If they reached the ground at the same time, this would prove that Galileo's view was correct. This is exactly what happened; the hammer and the feather fell slowly in the Moon's 1/6 gravity and hit the ground together.
Who used the telescope to prove Kepler's math was correct?
It was Galileo.
Who was the scientist who did an experiment to prove gravity?
Galileo
How can you develop and support your ideas with evidence?
You can look for existing studies that support your ideas or conduct an experiment to prove your hypothesis.
What is one greatest strengths in science?
Hypothesis testing. Being willing to conduct an experiment which could prove one's ideas wrong.

What was the idea which Galileo wished to prove?
that he was awesome :)

Who prove that the sun is the center of the solar system?
galileo
How do I prove the validity of my hypothesis in a scientific experiment?
To prove the validity of your hypothesis in a scientific experiment, you need to conduct tests and collect data that either support or refute your hypothesis. This involves designing a controlled experiment, following a structured methodology, analyzing the results objectively, and drawing conclusions based on the evidence gathered. It is important to ensure that your experiment is replicable and that your results are statistically significant to establish the credibility of your hypothesis.
What can experiments prove?
An experiment can prove or disprove a hypothesis.
What can an experiment do?
Prove causation
