I have some diagrams that illustrates the Galileo's Concept of Motion but I can't get the initia and final positions of an object. I can't also explain it. It's so complicated. I need the formulas related to it.

  1. According to Galileo, the motion of a falling object is independent of mass. Meaning two objects of unequal masses will fall to the ground when dropped from a set height in equal times

    The reason why objects did not always fall in the same time was because of a retarding force called friction.

    If friction is negligible, the following formulae apply:

    Motion(upward):

    Vf=0

    S=-1/2gt^2

    Motion(downward):

    Vo=0

    S=1/2gt^2
