Effect of Gravity (Argument between Aristotle and Galileo)
Source
This theory has being complicated “about acceleration due to gravity by Galileo’s experiment”
Many helpful discovery has be done in science and also the world of technology, most advance country which science has help developing many sector of life,health,industrial, education,technology, agriculture. etc
Due this fact many inventors mostly science and techonogy has being using the ideas of scientists despite the nationalities, in our today research, the behavior of matter,electricity, optics ,heat sound,properties of matter and atomic physics has the branches of physics has being bring to my notice but I would have through more light of objections and observation about the two experiment done “Aristotle and Galileo’s postulation about the Acceleration due to gravity”,this has be a platform of argument and to my greatest surprise ideas has be complicated, a famous Greek philosopher “Aristotle” said that heavy object always fell to the ground level faster than lighters objects,this was beloved about 200 years by many scientist all over the world.
But here come Galileo with the idea that was being experimented shown,proved that Aristotle theory in valid due to the fact gravitational force G is constant at all time he proceeding by saying that a heavy and a light object would dropped together at the same time from the top of a Tower at Pisa in Italy.

Today scienties has accepted this theory without considering the space or region which this two object with different masses was experimeted,also the shape matter in falling object ,if two object are of different shape,different masses logically and practically their reaching ground state will have been different, I disagreed that Galileo’s mostly got side that the two ball were relatively similar and the drop was relatively intensive not extensive so the different in distance was to small to notice,I am assuming that the two object was different in shape ,size ,masses and the presence of air resistance I don’t believe Galileo figures of proving Aristotle wrong would have be valid ,because mass also contributes to terminal velocity,higher mass pushes harder on the air and allows faster terminal velocity,terminal velocity where air resistant and gravity are equal.
By the knowledge of momentum as product of mass and his velocity,using this as order case study,assuming that two balls are moving at the same time with a perpendicular distance,at the time releasing two balls of different masses,the ball less mass will have twice momentum than the on with heavy mass,am assuming also believed that Galileo’s argument should’ve work with something like “free fall in a vacuum”,consider the shape ,the intensive side of it,the presence of air resistance is also excluded.

Galileo is correct in a vacuum, but Aristotle's arguments were the dominant view for longer (I think 2000 years or so) and are correct if the heavier object is larger and dropped in air which is usually the case. I wonder if Galileo will be most correct for 2000 years or if someone will have a better idea by then.
What a great piece of information. Keep up the good work.

Good post. I don't think that it belongs in Steemstem but nevertheless have an upvote.
I wrote a style guide (link here) for STEM posts that you might find interesting (or not, up to you).
I noticed that you may have not used free-for-reuse images? The Steemstem curators might downvote you for that (just a friendly heads up).
