Which of galileo theories drew fire from the catholic church and led to his house arrest

Galileo theory was that the Earth rotated around the sun. The Catholic Churches point of view was the sun rotated around the Earth, and after making speeches, that's when Galileo was led to his house arrest.

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
