Discuss the observation of Galileo for objects falling freely.
(N/A) Galileo concluded that for all objects in free fall,the rate of change of velocity with respect to time (acceleration) is a constant of motion,which is independent of the mass or shape of the object.
Conversely,he observed that the change in velocity with respect to distance is not constant.
Specifically,the rate of change of velocity with distance decreases as the distance of the fall increases.
