Question

Clearly, Atwood’s machine has a lot of systematic error that would not be present if we were to simplify the experiment. What is one reason we might expect to get better results using Atwood’s machine rather than following Galileo’s example and just dropping objects off of tall buildings?

Answer 1

Better Equilibrium Maintenance for better accuracy...

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Galileo's experiment, there is no utilization of two equal masses at a time. However, as we can see in a Atwood Machine, there are two equal masses involved that make the whole system to be in a state of equilibrium and ultimately the better measurements of acceleration due to gravity.
