Galileo's experiment

Classical Mechanics Level 1

Rita is very naughty. She often drops something or the other. Once she held a small stone in one of her hand and a spoon in her other hand. She dropped both the things at the same time (without the delay of a second). Which will touch the ground first.

Neglect air resistance.

They will never touch the ground Stone Information inadequate Spoon Both will reach at the same time

Let the time taken by spoon and stone be a & b seconds. Let the heigh from which they fall is d units.

So, d = 1 2 g a 2 = 1 2 g b 2 d=\frac{1}{2}ga^2=\frac{1}{2}gb^2

We get a=b.
