DOWN-TO-EARTH IDEAS
Trang 7If a big apple and a small one drop from an identical height at the same instant, which one will reach the ground first? Neither! Without air resistance, a large apple will reach the ground no sooner than a small one Many people find this hard to believe, since it seems to contradict “common sense”
A great Italian mathematician and physicist named Galileo first proved that, without friction, a heavy object and a light one released froni the same height will reach the ground at the same instant
He had begun to suspect that the common notion about heavier objects falling faster than lighter ones was false when he experimented with pendulum He found that a heavy pendulum swung no faster than lighter one Galileo went on to experiment with balls rolling down a sloping plank, and proved that heavy balls reached the bottom no faster than light balls
Galileo’s investigation with the dynamics of motion revealed another important law of physics: that, apart from air resistance, bodies accelerate constantly as they fall In a yacuum (where there is no air resistance) a heavy object does not fall faster than a light one; the rate of acceleration (32 feet per second) is the same for all objects Thus any object travels faster at the end of its fall than at the beginning
– air resistance (n): sức cản của không khí
– to contradict (v): mâu thuẫn với, trái với
– friction (n): sự ma sát
– pendulum (n): quả lắc đồng hồ
– dynamics (n): động lực học
– to accelerate (v): tăng tốc ->acceleration (n): gia tốc
– vacuum (n): khoảng chân không
76 The article as a whole tells us about
a how apples fall
b some of Galileo’s experiments
c the life of Galileo
Trang 8d Galileo’s experiment with pendulums
77 Which of the following sentences is NOT true?
a Galileo experimented with pendulums
b The weight of an object does not affect the speed of its falls
c People used to think that a heavy object falls faster than a light one
d The speed of a falling object is affected by its weight
78 The word “notion” in the third paragraph can best be replaced by _
a idea
b quality
c experiment
d conclusion
79 One of the results of Galileo’s experiments was that
a the rate of acceleration of heavy objects is greater than that of lighter objects
b Because of the air resistance, a heavy object does not fall faster than a light one
c objects accelerate constantly as they fall
d A falling object slows down at the end of its fall
80 It may be inferred from the article that
a heavy objects sometimes fall faster than light ones
b Galileo’s theories were unpopular throughout Europe
c common sense is not always the best guide
d air resistance cannot be measured
