Thomas Alva Edison

Isaac Newton

Galileo Galilei

Albert Einstein

- Galileo Galilei (Option 3)

- He was the first to conclude that in a vacuum, all objects fall with the same acceleration due to gravity.

- He proved that without air resistance, all objects hit the ground simultaneously.

- Correct Answer

- Thomas Alva Edison (Option 1)

- Known for his inventions, such as the light bulb.

- Not related to theories of gravity or falling objects.

- Isaac Newton (Option 2)

- Formulated the law of universal gravitation.

- Built upon Galileo’s work but didn’t conclude the same acceleration in a vacuum first.

- Albert Einstein (Option 4)

- Known for the theory of relativity.

- Did not specifically focus on the concept of objects falling at the same rate in a vacuum.
