to cause an acceleration (that is, a change in the velocity). As we have noted earlier in conjunction with the discussion of Galileo, Aristotle's view seems to be more in accord with common sense, but that is because of a failure to appreciate the role played by frictional forces. Once account is taken of all forces acting in a given situation it is the dynamics of Galileo and Newton, not of Aristotle, that are found to be in accord with the observations.

science is that it is more that a body of knowledge. 2. * The question of gravity being wrong for so many years until Galileo * Human curiosity about things that can’t be explained by simple thought. * Our perception of things can be screwed and we must think more about questions than the answers. 3. The evidence of gravity not being known or questioned until Galileo. The Special Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein is an example. The grain of salt being so small that our brain

authority, especially in the hindrance of science. His theories would also provide the ground work for future scientists such as Galileo; Galileo's work "explained the problem Copernicus had not been able to crack: why falling objects fall to the ground to the west of their starting-point on a turning earth" (Burke p.145). Without Copernicus's groundbreaking theory, Galileo would not have had the foundation to complete his research. In fact, I would dare say that Copernicus work in astronomy is the

question there was a change in velocity. However in this question there was no change in velocity. 10. We are most aware of moving in a vehicle when the vehicle is accelerating because gravity will push us back into the seat. 11. The relationship Galileo discover about a ball's acceleration and the steepness of an incline is the steeper the incline the faster the balls accelerate. Free fall acceleration occurs when the plane is vertical. 12. The velocity acquired by a freely

version of how it formed. One of these scientists was named Nicolaus Copernicus. He published a book explaining planetary motion, stating the sun is at the center of the universe, and Kepler and Galileo reinforced the Copernican model. Galileo said that it was heliocentric, and was tried for heresy. Galileo proved that the Church had been wrong all along about the Earth being the center of the solar system. If it was not for Sir Isaac Newton’s scientific contribution of the law of gravity, he would

Humankind’s Discovery of Extra-Solar Planets and its Effects on Religion Scott R. Pelow ITT Technical College S. Slovik EN-1320: Composition one Throughout the history humankind has looked to the stars and wondered if they are alone in the universe. Only in the past few hundred years have humans had the means to start answering this timeless and most important of questions and now that humans have begun to discover extra-solar planets in their galactic neighborhood they may soon find out.
