How did Galileo Galilee help to develop the theory of gravitation?
Galileo Galilei contributed significantly to the development of the theory of gravitation through his experiments and observations on motion. He demonstrated that objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass, challenging the prevailing Aristotelian views. His work on inclined planes and the concept of acceleration laid the groundwork for later scientists, including Isaac Newton, who formalized the law of universal gravitation. Galileo's emphasis on empirical evidence and mathematical description set a critical foundation for modern physics.
Was Galileo part of the roman empire?
No, Galileo only read about the Roman empire. He was born about a thousand years after the fall of the western Roman empire. He is a scientist from the renaissance period.
Aristotle said heavy objects will fall faster and Galileo said heavy and light objects will fall at the same acceleration?
Galileo's theory is more accurate - in a vacuum, objects of different weights will fall at the same rate. This principle is known as the equivalence principle. Aristotle's notion was based on observations in air where air resistance affects the fall rate of heavier objects.
Describe what Galileo learned about falling objects that lead to an understanding of gravitational pull?
Galileo's experiments showed that all objects fall with the same acceleration regardless of their mass. This discovery led him to understand that objects fall towards Earth due to gravity, a force that attracts objects towards each other. Galileo's observations laid the foundation for the concept of gravitational pull.
Why is it untrue when people think that Galilleo dropped two objects of dramatically different mass off the Leaning Tower of Pisa and that both hit the ground at the same time?
The event is now being dismissed; scientists do not believe he actually did the experiment. The fact that the objects would hit at the same time or nearly the same is still true. This was demonstrated on the moon.
Galileo's use of inclined planes allowed him to effectively?
Slow down the Acceleration of free fall.
Did Galileo elimate the acceleration of a free fall using inclined planes?
No, he merely decreased the acceleration of gravity using inclined planes so it was of a value that was easily measured.
Who proved that objects fall toward the earth at a constant acceleration regardless of their size?
It was first demonstrated by Galileo that objects fall toward the Earth with a constant acceleration, regardless of their size. He did this by means of experiments using various objects which were rolled down inclined planes. He did not, contrary to popular legend, drop various objects off the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Who created the law of free fall?
I'm pretty sure Galileo Galileo
What was Galileo Galileo theory?
That all bodies-no matter what the shape or weight-would fall at the same speed
Who was the person who studied how fast objects fall?
Galileo
What did Galileo discover about falling objects?
Galileo discovered that all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their weight, disproving the common belief at the time that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones.
Who found that all objects fall at the same rate of speed in a vacuum?
Galileo
Why do penguins fall over when they see planes?
Usually, they don't.
What is the difference between free fall and jumping out a plane?
free fall doesn't involve jumping out a planes
What was Galileo '?
That all bodies-no matter what the shape or weight-would fall at the same speed
