Distinguish the Aristotelian and Galilean/New Ionian views of the natural stale of motion.
To distinguish: The views of Aristotelian, Galilean, and Newtonian on natural states of motion.
Answer to Problem 1FTD
The difference of views of Aristotelian, Galilean, and Newtonian on natural states of motion is explained.
Explanation of Solution
The view of Aristotle on natural state of motion:
- As per Aristotle, the motion needs a cause. That is,
- A push or pull is required to keep the object in motion.
The view of Galileo on natural states of motion:
- No push or pull is needed to keep an object in motion.
The views of Newton on natural states of motion:
- As per Newton, the force is the push or pull needed to change the motion of an object.
- He formulated quantitative law to explain the change of motion.

- On which of the following does the speed of a falling object depend? (4.3) (a) mass (b) h (c) 12mv2 (d) parallel distancearrow_forwardStarting from rest, a 2 kg object acquires a speed of 12 m/s in 2 seconds. Calculate the net force (in Newtons) acting on the object. Your Answer:arrow_forward4. Show that the acceleration of any object down an incline where friction behaves simply (that is, where F* = Hk FN) is a = g(sin 0 – Hk Cos 0). Note that the acceleration is independent of mass and reduces to a = g sin ở when friction becomes negligibly small (4k = 0).arrow_forward
- Helparrow_forwardThe driver of a 1000 kg car traveling at 30 m/s slams on its brakes. If the force of friction is 7000 N, determine the following: The acceleration of the car. The stopping distance.arrow_forwardIn the law of universal gravitation, Newton assumed that the force was proportional to the product of the two masses (m1m2) . While all scientific conjectures must be experimentally verified, can you provided arguments as to why this must be? (You may wish to consider simple examples in which any other form would lead to contradictory results.)arrow_forward
- A 200 kg set used in a play is stored in the loft above the stage. The rope holding the set passes up and over a pulley, then is tied backstage. The director tells a 100 kg stagehand to lower the set. When he unties the rope, the set falls and the unfortunate man is hoisted into the loft. What is the stagehand’s acceleration?arrow_forwardA spring hangs vertically next to a ruler. The end of the spring is next to 15 cm mark on the ruler. A mass of 2.0 kg is now attached to the end of the spring. Where will the end of the spring line up with the ruler marks. Use a spring constant of 51 N/m and express your answer in meters.arrow_forwardPlease help me answer thisarrow_forward
- You cut the tennis ball off of the cord, and you then replace the tennis ball with a 400 gram mass. If you swing it at the same speed then do you think the force of tension in the cord would be more or less? Calculate the new force of tension, assuming the length of the cord is the same.arrow_forwardAtwood’s Machine Let m1 equal 5 kg and m2 equal 8kg. Plot the motion of the systemarrow_forwardA 1.10-kg object slides to the right on a surface having a coefficient of kinetic friction 0.250 (Figure a). The object has a speed of vi = 2.60 m/s when it makes contact with a light spring (Figure b) that has a force constant of 50.0 N/m. The object comes to rest after the spring has been compressed a distance d (Figure c). The object is then forced toward the left by the spring (Figure d) and continues to move in that direction beyond the spring's unstretched position. Finally, the object comes to rest a distance D to the left of the unstretched spring (Figure e). C e m V=0 DWWW karrow_forward
