Did Galileo’s work on motion precede in time that of Aristotle or Newton? Explain.
Whether Galileo’s work on motion precedes in time that of Aristotle or Newton.
Answer to Problem 1CQ
The Galileo’s work on motion precede in time that of newton, Since Galileo’s ideas about motion of the body came between the years 1564 and 1642 and newton’s theory evolved between the years 1642 and 1727 but Aristotle lived about 2000 years before them.
Explanation of Solution
Aristotle put forwarded his ideas about motion between his life period of 384 to 322 B.C. While Galileo lived in 1564 to 1642. Newtonian theories evolved between 1642 and 1727. This history shows that Galileo’s work preceded the works of newton and Aristotle preceded both newton and Galileo.
Conclusion:
Thus, the Galileo’s work on motion precede in time that of newton , Since Galileo’s ideas about motion of the body came between the years 1564 and 1642 and newton’s theory evolved between the years 1642 and 1727 but Aristotle lived about 2000 years before them.

- Use the following information to answer the next two questions The year is 1927. You are a crime scene investigator. You are considering pressing reckless driving charges against the driver of Car 2. To do this, you must find the speed of Car 2 before the crash. Allegedly, Car 1 was parked, when Car 2 crashed into it. Using the skid pattern, you determine that the speed of the two joined vehicles was 17 m/s immediately following the impact. Car 1 has mass of 1800 kg and Car 2 has a mass of 1100 kg.arrow_forwardYou drop a ball off of a building, In 1 second, it is falling at 4.9 m/s.
