compare Aristotle and Galileo views of horizontal motion​

Sagot :

Answer:

Aristotle's Theory of Motion had 2 basic

principles:-

1. No motion without a mover in contact

with moving body.

2. Distinction betwee :(a) Natural motion:

mover is internal to moving body (b) Force motion: mover is external to moving body

Aristotle believed that the initial motive force transfers to the medium initially surrounding the object a "power" to act as a motive force.And the medium then

forces the object into a new region , which is then imparted with the "power" to act.

Aristotle's concept of different types of motion

was destroyed when

he described the projectile motion as a combination

of horizonal and vertical motion and in the same terms and with the same relationship.
