i downloaded a physics experiment. It was a heavy ladle and a feather. Both dropped to the ground at the same speed. i.e rapidly. This proved a theory made by galileo i believe. Being more sensible, the experiment he described was two identically sized spheres of different materials. FOr what it's worth, unless you have a very odd ladle, you should have seen a very large different in the two falling times, unless you were working in a vacuum. B |

Close enough, yes. Why? I very much doubt that anyone has shipped a heavy ladle to the moon, were you perhaps referring to something else? B |

B They did it in a vacuum, at some university back East many years ago....Only it was to test psychokinetics, or some such thing, and not Galileo....They wanted to see if mental power could make a feather (I think they used card chips) miss the mark when it fell three stories while students tried to force it off track by mental power alone. In thousands of trials, no one, nor any group of people could make it miss the mark In every case, the card chip, in a vacuum, fell with the acceleration of gravity the three stories and hit its target, which was a tiny hole through which it went, only to be returned three stories up to the starting point again.....As I remember, they did this at Duke University....... |
