1. Galileo released two bodies of different masses from the Pisa tower to test his theory. Knowing that the height of the tower is 52 m.

A) Indicate in the image the characteristics of the movement of a body and deduce its type of movement. 

B) Write the equations of motion corresponding to the movement of the body.

C) Calculate the time it takes to reach the ground.

D) How fast will they arrive? Interpret the results. 0.5p E) What speed do we carry halfway? Interpret the results.

F) With what speed should we pull up so that the body reaches the ground in 10s.

G) Selected and graphic corresponding to the previous movement. Justify your answer.
