position of an object throughout a period of time. What causes objects to move?
Force can set a stationary object
into motion. It can speed up or slow down a moving object. ARISTOTLIAN GALILEAN CONCEPT OF CONCEPT OF MOTION MOTION Motion is classified as natural or violent motion. He explained that in a natural motion, a body will move and will return to its natural state based on the body’s nature and composition. A body moving in a violent ARISTOTLE motion needs an external force (push or pull) for it to move. He believed that an object thrown at a certain angle is given an impetus – a force or energy that permits an object to move. It will continue to move in such state until the object’s impetus is lost, and the object returns to its natural ARISTOTLE state, causing it to stop and fall to the ground. He disproved Aristotle’s claims and stated that the motion of the body is not due to its composition. He further asserted that “the motion of the body can be described by measurement and the changes in quantifiable variables such as time GALILEO and distance.” GALILEI Lastly, he further asserted that: 1. A body who is in uniform motion will move a distance that is proportional to the time it will take to travel; 2. A uniformly accelerating body will travel at a speed proportional to time; and GALILEO 3. An object in motion will keep moving GALILEI and the external force is not necessary to maintain motion. FRICTION Friction is the force that resists relative motion between two objects in contact. It slows down or stop movement. VERTICAL MOTION ARISTOTLE GALILEO GALILEI He believed that all If the two objects of objects have resting different weights are place which they dropped from a high naturally seek. point, both will hit the The speed of a falling ground at the same time. object is directly related to its mass.
