Earth revolve around the sun and the sun is stationary at the center of the universe, and Galileo was warned to abandon his support for it. Galileo was a scientist who played a major role in the scientific revolution. Kinematics is the branch of classical mechanics that describes the motion of objects without consideration of the causes leading to the motion and was vastly studied by Galileo. His contributions to observational astronomy include the telescopic confirmation of the phases of Venus, the

The spoken or colloquial language is used in daily interactions, but in a

conducted by Franklin Henry Giddings and Ivan Pavlov, a sociologist and a physiologist whom established the groundwork for behaviorism, particularly in America. In addition, this paper also explains the main components of behaviorism, which are classical conditioning and operant conditioning, connectionism, and the contiguity theory. It moves forward to explain four experiments that are popular through the study of behaviorism: the reason behind conditioned salivation in Ivan Pavlov’s dogs, conditioned

make a new artistic idiom suitable to the needs of the individual city-states and the Greek sanctuaries. In around a century and a half, the developments rapidly led to the birth of Classical art that show the distinctiveness of the human figure.

Aristotle was perhaps the first in the Western tradition to look at mechanics in any sort of structured way. A philosopher, rather than physicist, Aristotle thought about the way objects interact with each other, particularly their motions. One of the ideas to come from Aristotle’s work is that objects “like” to remain at rest. This seems rather reasonable put a book on a table and it remains still, push it gently and it will move until you stop. This begs the question, though what happens when
