Students have asked these similar questions
Aristotle says that the heavier things are, the quicker they will fall, whereas Galileo felt that the mass of an object made no difference to the speed at which it fell.
Who has a more acceptable view of falling objects, Aristotle or Galileo?
Aristotle claimed that the speed of a falling object depends on its weight. We now know that objects in free fall, whatever their weights, undergo the same gain in speed. Why does weight not affect acceleration?
If you shoot a 10 kg cannonball straight it reaches a height of 600 meters, what was the velocity of the cannonball when it came out of the barrel ?
