Why a small stone and a big stone reach at the same time
when they are made to fall through the same heights ?
Answer Posted / bob
These answers are correct, and the question really
represents the triumph of the scientific method over
"reasoning." It makes sense that a small stone will fall
slower than a large stone because it weighs less. However, I
believe it was Galileo who dropped balls from the tower of
pisa and showed that this is not true. A feather will fall
slower than a rock, but it is not because of gravity, but
because of the friction of air on the feather. If you drop
both in a vacuum, they land at the same time. Thus
experiment shows the truth.
