  2. Galileo's Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo's_Leaning_Tower_of...

    Delft tower experiment; Terminal velocity (An object dropped through air from a sufficient height will reach a steady speed, called the terminal velocity, when the aerodynamic drag force pushing up on the body balances the gravitational force (weight) pulling the body down.) Nordtvedt effect; Newton's second law; Law of Inertia

  3. Delft tower experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delft_tower_experiment

    Nieuwe Kerk in Delft. In 1586, scientists Simon Stevin and Jan Cornets de Groot conducted an early scientific experiment on the effects of gravity. The experiment, which established that objects of identical size and different mass fall at the same speed, was conducted by dropping lead balls from the Nieuwe Kerk in the Dutch city of Delft.

  4. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    A set of equations describing the trajectories of objects subject to a constant gravitational force under normal Earth-bound conditions.Assuming constant acceleration g due to Earth's gravity, Newton's law of universal gravitation simplifies to F = mg, where F is the force exerted on a mass m by the Earth's gravitational field of strength g.

  5. Cavendish experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavendish_experiment

    For the first 3 experiments the period was about 15 minutes and for the next 14 experiments the period was half of that, about 7.5 minutes. The period changed because after the third experiment Cavendish put in a stiffer wire. The torsion coefficient could be calculated from this and the mass and dimensions of the balance.

  6. Einstein's thought experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein's_thought_experiments

    Einstein later refined his thought experiment to consider a man inside a large enclosed chest or elevator falling freely in space. While in free fall, the man would consider himself weightless, and any loose objects that he emptied from his pockets would float alongside him.

  7. Drop tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_tube

    The NASA Glenn Research Center has a 5 second drop tower (The Zero Gravity Facility) and a 2.2 second drop tower (The 2.2 Second Drop Tower). Much of the operating cost of a drop tower is due to the need for evacuation of the drop tube, to eliminate the effect of aerodynamic drag. Alternatively the experiment is placed inside an outer box (the ...

  8. How Ridiculous - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_Ridiculous

    Historically, the trio's main stunts have been trick shots, finding creative ways to destroy objects, and throwing or dropping objects from great heights. Many of their videos since 2015 are recorded at the Gravity Discovery Centre at the Leaning Tower of Gingin. [13]

  9. Two New Sciences - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_New_Sciences

    The unreported experiment found in folio 116V tested the constant rate of acceleration in falling bodies due to gravity. [14] This experiment consisted of dropping a ball from specified heights onto a deflector in order to transfer its motion from vertical to horizontal. The data from the inclined plane experiments were used to calculate the ...
