Question:
At one point in his study of a falling body starting from rest, Galileo conjectured that its velocity at any time is proportional to the distance it has dropped. Using this hypothesis, set up the differential equation whose solution is y = f (t), the distance fallen by time t. By making use of the initial value, show why Galileo’s original conjecture is invalid.
