Because other scientists and science in general rely on their collegues' research which in turn allows development of our knowledge on the given subject. The more dont-to-earth reason may be safety. If someone performs an experiment without knowledge of its true results it might result in some danger to the safety of those perforning it without knowledge of all the risks.

Adam drops a ball from rest from the top floor of a building at the same time Bob throws a ball horizontally from the same locat

guapka [62]

Answer:

Both balls hit the ground at the same time

Explanation:

Adam drops the ball from rest, so the ball just "falls" in vertical direction, being gravity its only acceleration, for cinematic movements we use that:

$y(t)=y_{0}+v_{0y}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

In this case we have that gravity is negative, and as Adam drops the ball, $v_{0y}=0$

Bob throws the ball horizontally, so the movement will be a parabola, we can divide into horizontal direction, and vertical direction.

But we only need to analize the vertical movement, in wich again the only acceleration is gravity, and compare it with Adam's ball. Again we have that gravity is negative, and as the initial throw is horizontal, $v_{0y}=0$

Finally, we have that

$y(t)=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$
