Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Aristotle said heavier bodies fall faster than light bodies; so if the two were dropped at the same time, the heavier body would strike the ground sooner. Galileo observed that the motion was independent of the body's mass provided air friction was not significant.
