Galileo preformed a famous experiment where he used a ball rolling on a ramp (inclined plane) to study the motion of objects under the influence of gravity. The ramp allowed him to make more precise measurements because the ball moved more slowly along the ramp than if it were simply dropped. Galileo discovered through this experiment that the objects fell with the same acceleration, proving his prediction true, while at the same time disproving Aristotle's theory of gravity (which states that objects fall at speed proportional to their mass). Galileo's conclusion from this thought experiment was that no force is needed to keep an object moving with constant velocity. Newton took this as his first law of motion. One result of the experiment surprised Galileo, and one surprises us. Galileo found that the heavy ball hit the ground first, but only by a little bit. Except for a small difference caused by air resistance, both balls reached nearly the same speed. And that surprised him.

According to history, Galileo’s experiment on falling bodies largely contributed to Isaac Newton’s Law of Gravity. In Galileo’s experiment, he is said to have dropped balls from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The balls were made of the same material but had different masses. Galileo set out to prove that the time it took for these objects to reach the ground would be the same. Galileo proved that objects reached the ground at the same time,

Many ocean-dwelling animals can use sound waves to communicate with other animals and locate food and obstacles over longer dist
Vaselesa [24]
Well, this is called echolocation. It is possible because the animals make noise, and it bounces off objects and plants. Their brain takes the sound waves that bounce off objects and register it into their brain at another way of seeing. They can see up to 200 miles away with this, and other animals can hear these noises from far away. I hope this answer cam to your desired help.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Lipids are a group of organic compounds including fats, phospholipids, and steroids.

Lipids are a group of organic compounds that do not dissolve easily with water. Lipids include fats, oils, monoglycerides, diglycerides, triglycerides, phospholipids, hormones, vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K), and steroids. Lipids functions by storing energy for organisms, as chemical messengers between cells, tissues, and organs, and they also function as structural parts of cell membranes.
