The Value Of 'g'
DO YOU KNOW: THE VALUE OF 'g'
INFORMATION:-
The value of g is the same for all object at a given place on the earth. thus, any two objects, irrespective of their masses or any other properties, when dropped from the same height and falling freely will reach the earth at same time. Galileo is said to have performed an experiment around 1590 in the Italian of Pisa. He dropped two spheres of different masses from the learning tower of Pisa to demonstrate that both spheres reached the ground at the same time.
when we drop a feather and a heavy stone at the same time. The Feather experiences a buoyant force and a frictional force due tov air and therefore floats and reaches the ground slowly, later than the heavy stone. The buoyant and frictional forces on the stone and does not affect the speed of a stone much. Recently, scientist performed this experiment in vacuum and showed that the feather and stone indeed reach the earth at the same time.
