Question

What did Newton imagine on top of his imaginary mountain for his thought experiment on gravity?

A. bird
B. cannon
C. plane
D. tree

Answer 1

Cannon

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton visualizes a stone (you could also use a cannonball) being projected on top of a very high mountain. If there were no forces of gravitation or air resistance, the body should follow a straight line away from Earth, in the direction that it was projected.

Answer 2

That would be b. Cannon
