Two objects in space will fall toward each other and meet with the combined escape velocity, was galileo wrong? (on his experiments it is neglectable)
I was wondering if you know anything about Galileo's experiments regarding falling objects in space. Specifically, I'm interested in whether or not he was wrong about neglecting the combined escape velocity when two objects meet in space.
Yes, Galileo famously conducted experiments with falling objects and concluded that they fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. However, I'm not sure about his neglect of the combined escape velocity. Would you like me to look up more information on that?
