Galilei E Einstein

Riflessioni Sulla Teoria Della Relatività Generale - La Caduta Libera Dei Gravi

by Santo Armenia ...

Unabridged

1 hour 25 min

Partendo da fenomeni elementari viene studiata la teoria della relatività generale di Einstein, unitamente al principio di Galilei sulla caduta libera dei gravi che ne è il presupposto. Il principio di Galilei prevede che tutti i corpi, prescindendo dalla loro massa, cadano con la stessa accelerazione di gravità. Invece, si constata la non vigenza di tale principio di Galilei non essendo detratta ... Read more
