Answer:

Galileo performed 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,

Which law is associated with inertia? *
defon

Newton first law of motion

Explanation:

This law by Newton states that an object will remain at rest, or a moving object will stay in motion in a straight line and with the same speed unless an external and unbalanced force acts on the object.

One application of this Newtonian law is in the launching of projectiles like ballistic missiles.  A ballistic missile parabolic path is affected by its inertia and the unbalanced forces acting on the object such as air resistance/ drag and gravity.

water’s molar mass is 18.01 g/mol. The molar mass of glycerol is 92.09 g/mol. At 25 celsius, glycerol is more viscous than water
Gemiola [76]

Answer is: glycerol because it is more viscous and has a larger molar mass.

Viscosity depends on intermolecular interactions.

The predominant intermolecular force in water and glycerol is hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen bond is an electrostatic attraction between two polar groups in which one group has hydrogen atom (H) and another group has highly electronegative atom such as nitrogen (like in this molecule), oxygen (O) or fluorine (F).
