    Aristotle said that heavier objects fall to earth at a greater speed than lighter objects. Unless I'm
    mistaken, didn't Newton by experiment demonstrate that all objects fall at a constant speed of
    32 feet per second squared? Aristotle was right. What Newton was measuring was the constant
    of earth's gravitation, not the speed of falling objects, as his experiment was flawed by the objects
    he measured as not being greatly differentiated by weight. Mathematically we know that the speed
    of falling should be calculated by adding the gravity of both bodies -- earth and the object[s], in which
    case, the heavier objects do fall together at a faster speed because gravity is increased by the weight
    of the falling bodies. The moon would fall to earth at a faster speed than a bowling ball. We know
    this because the moon's gravity affects the tides. A bowling ball orbiting earth in the form of satellites
    does not affect the tides. Newton's measuring device was not sensitive enough to differentiate between
    an apple and a bowling ball [or whatever he used]. Would be analogous to asking a person to measure
    saltiness between one grain of salt and two grains of salt. Or so I think. Are they still teaching kids
    that the rate of falling objects is 32 feet per second squared? Empirically this is true for similarly scaled
    objects, but by mathematics and physics we know this is wrong, and Aristotle's intuition was right.

    • @davidgould9431
      @davidgould9431 Před 3 lety +2

      Um, er, no. To be honest, I'm only responding to your first section (to the blank line) because it's so wrong I can't be bothered to read the rest, which is too long in this context.
      Yes, you are mistaken: not Newton, but Galileo, showed that objects of different weights (same as masses in Galileo's day: Newton started to think about the difference) fall to the ground in the same time. He used inclined planes (the legend is that he dropped balls off the leaning tower of Pisa - apparently not).
      32 feet per second squared is not a speed, as you'd have it. It is an acceleration. You've remembered the number, but not the meaning. Every second, the speed of an object falling under gravity at (or near - it's close enough) the surface of the earth increases by 32 feet per second. Or about 9.81 m/s in civilised units that aren't based on an inch being "3 barleycorns, firm and round". To be fair, for decades now (2021), the definition of the inch has actually been 2.54 cm, so the problem is just rounding errors.
      You seem to be (OK, I did glance at your following text because it became clear the blank line was a mistake) very confused about the difference between speed and acceleration (the rate of change of speed).
      It's really tricky to get ones head around all this. Sorry if this sounds negative; it wasn't meant to be. If you want to discuss this further, please do.

    • @davidgould9431
      @davidgould9431 Před 3 lety

      Another thing occurs to me. Galileo debunked Aristotle's "heavier things fall faster than lighter things" by posing the following thought experiment: suppose you drop a heavy thing and a lighter thing off a leaning tower. Under Aristotle's hypothesis, the heavier thing would land first. Then consider the same experiment, but join the two things together. The combined thing will land at one time but, if the joining object has no (or negligible) weight, then the heavier and lighter objects landed at the same time. Aristotle must be wrong.
      The ancient greek philosophers loved thinking but were a bit allergic to actually doing experiments to see whether they'd cooked up something that was actually right. They didn't really understand friction, so things needed to keep being pushed to keep moving, as opposed to Newton's realisation (probably not just his) that, if there is nothing to resist motion, things just keep doing what they're doing.

      @rockyfjord3753 Před 3 lety +1

      @@davidgould9431 Whether Newton or Galileo,
      the experiments were flawed due to the abject disparity between the earth and its gravity and any things no matter what the size, dropped or rolled down a plane. 32 ft per second squared merely measures the
      effect of earth's gravity, more or less constant. It does not account for the gravity
      of the objects its purports to measure as
      both or all are too negligible in gravitational
      pull to record any difference when measured. The measuring device is flawed.
      If the earth's gravitational pull were stronger, objects would fall at a greater acceleration. That's my thought and I do not think you've overcome it.

    • @davidgould9431
      @davidgould9431 Před 3 lety +1

      @@rockyfjord3753 I wasn't trying to change your mind about anything: just to clarify a few things. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
      I'm not sure why you think the inclined plane experiment "purports to measure" the "gravity of the objects". It doesn't: it's looking at the effect of the gravitational field of the earth on those objects. In other words, it's the other way round. As you say, the objects create gravitational fields that are negligible in this context so can be ignored - the earth isn't going to move much because of a small weight.
      Galileo's experiment was simply confirming what his thought experiment implied and Newton later made rigorous: the acceleration of a falling object does not depend on its own mass. Newton showed that F = ma where F is the force on a mass, m, that gives rise to an acceleration, a. He also showed that the force due to gravity is given by F = GMm/r² where G is just some constant, the masses are m and M and the distance between them is r (technically, this only applies to point masses or masses composed of homogenous spherical shells and r is the distance between the centres. It's close enough in our experiment: this is physics, not maths, after all). Equate the two forces and you can cancel the m on each side, giving a = GM/r² meaning the acceleration of an object does not depend on its own mass but only on the mass of the other object and the distance to it (or to its centre). So two different masses falling on the earth will accelerate at the same rate, hitting the ground at the same time.
      The puzzling thing is why you can equate the two forces in the first place: the m in F = ma is the inertial mass and describes a body's reluctance to move under the influence of a force. The m in F = GMm/r² is the gravitational mass: how much it contributes to the gravitational force. It's not clear that they should be the same, but it turns out they are. That's why you can cancel the m on each side when you equate them.
      It's a bit tough on Galileo calling his experiment "flawed" from 500 or so years away. He was a very early pioneer of the scientific method and looking for a null result without sensitive enough equipment to be really sure he'd got one. Apparently, it's been confirmed using lasers and tall buildings (in the context of looking at Einstein's general theory of relativity, if I remember rightly (which I may not have), but that's a much bigger can of worms).
      This comment ended up being far too long - sorry - I hope it made some sense.

      @@davidgould9431 You are more knowledgeable than I am. If you fired a
      cannon ball into orbit around the earth,
      hypothetically in a similar orbit as the moon... Then if Galileo and Newton were right, the cannon ball should cause tides to ebb and rise same as the moon. Of course
      the mass of the cannon ball is too small to
      cause any measurable effect, same as
      dropping objects from the tower of Pisa.
      Both the mass of the earth and the masses
      of the objects [the moon] have to be calculated into speed or rate of falling objects [much the same in my mind]. So the
      larger moon object adds to the total gravity
      of the two objects [earth and moon], thus
      falling into each other faster, or so was
      Aristotle's take on it. It's mathematical, only
      experimental in the moon and tides analysis, or so I think.

      WHY E=MC2 IS NECESSARILY F=MA (ON BALANCE), AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity AS SPACE ON BALANCE:
      TIME DILATION ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that E=MC2 IS F=ma, as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. The stars AND PLANETS are POINTS in the night sky. TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS E=mc2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Hence, the Earth AND the Sun are CLEARLY E=MC2 AND F=ma IN BALANCE. (The sky is blue, AND the Earth is ALSO BLUE.) A PHOTON may be placed at the center of WHAT IS THE SUN (as A POINT, of course), AS the reduction of SPACE is offset by (or BALANCED with) the speed of light (c); AS E=MC2 IS F=MA !!!; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. BALANCE and completeness go hand in hand. It ALL CLEARLY makes perfect sense. GRAVITATIONAL force/ENERGY IS proportional to (or BALANCED with/as) inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=MC2 IS F=ma; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ("Mass"/ENERGY IS GRAVITY. ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity !!!) Gravity/acceleration involves BALANCED inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE, AS E=mC2 IS F=ma IN BALANCE !!!; AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. (Energy has/involves GRAVITY, AND ENERGY has/involves inertia/INERTIAL RESISTANCE.) E=mC2 IS F=ma. This NECESSARILY represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE, AS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. Gravity IS ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy. Great !!!
