When you roll a ball on the floor why does it eventually come to a stop Aristotle?
The ball only stops rolling because an external force (friction) causes the ball to stop. The more inertia an object has, the harder it is to change its state of motion. The proof of this idea was that if a ball rolled down one ramp, its inertia would cause it to roll up an opposite ramp of equal height.
Would it be correct to say that the reason an object resist change and persists in its state of motion is because of inertia?
Each planet would move in a straight line at constant speed. Is it correct to say that the reason an object resists change and persists in its state of motion is that it has inertia? the greater its inertia and the more force it takes to change its state of motion.
What did Aristotle say about circular motion Was it natural or violent and what objects moved in circular motion?
Circular motion was natural for the heavens. These motions were considered natural–not caused by forces. Violent motion was imparted to objects. Objects in their natural resting places could not move by themselves.
How did Galileo discredit Aristotle assertion that a force is needed to keep objects moving?
How did Galileo discredit Aristotle’s assertion that a force is needed to keep objects moving. Galileo’s experiments with rolling balls along surfaces tilted at different angles and his findings about motion helped him to discredit Aristotle’s theory of motion.
How would Galileo interpret a ball rolled across a counter top and rolls slowly to a stop?
How would you interpret it? Answer: Aristotle would probably say that the ball stops because it seeks its natural state of rest. Galileo would probably say that the friction between the ball and the table overcomes the ball’s natural tendency to continue rolling—overcomes the ball’s inertia—and brings it to a stop.
Can a ball roll forever?
It cannot accelerate the body, for it has no component in either direction that the body could move. So we conclude that there’s no force that can change the horizontal motion of the body, and no torque to change its rotation, so therefore if it’s rolling, it will roll forever without deceleration.
Why does an object resist a change in state of motion?
Inertia = tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity. An object at rest has zero velocity – and (in the absence of an unbalanced force) will remain with a zero velocity; it will not change its state of motion (i.e., velocity). Objects resist changes in their velocity.
What is natural motion and violent motion according to Aristotle?
For example: The natural movement of the celestial bodies made of ether is circular (see the Ptolemaic planetary system) rather than a movement toward the center of the earth. Violent motion, by contrast, is motion contrary to the nature of the object and requires an external force in order to occur.
How did Aristotle and Galileo view and explain the motion of object?
Aristotle says that the heavier things are, the quicker they will fall, whereas Galileo felt that the mass of an object made no difference to the speed at which it fell. They concluded that Aristotle was correct and it is the force of gravity that makes this happen.
How did Aristotle and Galileo view motion?
The Difference between Aristotle’s concept of motion and Galileo’s notion of motion is eleven o’clock That aristotle Affirmed That force is removed from an object it will stop while Galileo said an objects motion is stopped Because of the force of friction.
