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.

You can melt this ice and then vaporize it all at 0 C. The melting and vaporization are done reversibly into a balloon held at a pressure of 0.250 bar. Here are some facts about water you may wish to know. The density of liquid water at 0 C is 1 g/cm³. The density of ice at 0 C is 0.917 g/cm³. The enthalpy of vaporization of liquid water is 2.496 kJ/gram and the enthalpy of fusion of solid water is 333.55 J/gram. A. How much energy does the ice absorb as heat when it melts? B.
