Figure 4:
S L
Galileo dropped two cannonballs, a large one and a small one, from the Leaning Tower
of Pisa. They were both made of solid iron, but the large one (L) had a diameter twice
as large as the small one (S). Both balls started from rest, and they hit the ground at
the same time. Which of the following statements correctly describe the situation?
Choose all that apply. More than one answer may be correct.
O The Earth must have pulled harder on the smaller cannonball because it had less
inertia.
The Earth pulled on the two cannonballs equally hard.
O The two cannonballs fell with the same acceleration.
O The Earth must have pulled harder on the larger cannonball because it had more
inertia.
O The two cannonballs had the same amount of inertia.

Explain your rationale for each situation. The acceleration due to gravity is a well-understood physics quantity, with respect to the surface of the Earth. It is determined with knowledge of the mass of the planet, as well as the distance from the center of the planet to a known location. As a global average, it is assumed the acceleration due to gravity is 9.805 m/s2, with slight fluctuations around the poles due to the fact the Earth is not a perfect sphere. However, this acceleration is not constant on other planets, due to their different size and mass. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the acceleration due to gravity of a falling object.arrow_forward

I was quite confident in the uniform circular motion, but I had this problem in my exam which completely confused me. When I read "upward vertical acceleration" my head just start to spin as I couldn't understand what force could cause an upward acceleration. Could you help me with this problem? I bet it is easier than it looks, but still, I am confused about what is asking me and most importantly about the input it is giving me. I don't have my exam paper with me, but on my body diagram, I knew that on the aeroplane were exerted the Force of Contact Fn1 and the Force m1g in the y opposite direction. On the pilot was acting the Force of Contact with the seat of the aeroplane Fn2 and the m2g in the y opposite direction.
