subject only to the forces of gravity (9.81ms‾²) and air resistance (Webster). It was Galileo who first accurately described projectile motion. He showed that it could be understood by analyzing the horizontal and vertical components separately. No one had done this prior to Galileo. People use to think that when something is shot in the air it goes in the air and some how hit something and explode, before Galileo which followed largely Aristotelian lines but incorporating a later theory of "impetus

solution from the results of the tests you performed. 2a. Compare Aristotle's concept of inertia with the ideas of Galileo and Newton. In making your comparison, state the concept as each interpreted it (in your own words) and give the similarities and differences. Basically Aristotle's concept was different from Galileo's and Newton's because he didn't account for friction. Galileo and Newton accounted for friction so they are similar in that way. Newton took Galileo's concept and tweaked it a

Calitri, Italy. I chose Calitri, Italy because it was named after one of my ancestors. My dinner party will be on top of an old castle while watching the sunset. At the table, along with myself, I will have Elizabeth I, Socrates, Christopher Columbus, Galileo, and Leonardo Da Vinci.

A Protagonist of the Scientific Revolution: Galileo Galilei was one of the protagonists of the scientific revolution, best known for his astronomical discoveries by means of a telescope (including sunspots, Jupiter’s satellites, and the phases of Venus), for his defense of heliocentrism, and for his study of the natural laws regarding falling bodies. Galileo, however, gave key contributions also to the development of the modern scientific methodology; for this reason, he holds a special place

Chapter 2 Galileo’s Great Discovery: How Things Fall Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), the famous Italian mathematician at the leading edge of the scientific revolution that was to sweep Europe, was curious about motion. He was an experimentalist who for the first time had the insight and talent to link theory with experiment. He rolled balls down an inclined plane in order to see how things fell toward the Earth. He discovered in this way that objects of any weight fell toward the Earth at the same

time in the solar system. Scientists needed a spacecraft that would be able to stay longer, and provide more detailed information. It all started on October 18th, 1989 at the Kennedy Space Center. That was the day that the Galileo spacecraft left to go to Jupiter. “The Galileo mission consists of two spacecrafts: an orbiter and an atmospheric probe. Launched during the STS 34 flight of the Atlantis orbiter, the two spacecrafts were kicked out of Earth orbit by an inertial upper stage (IUS) rocket

Nietzsche's basic radical contentions were the new traditional values represented primarily by Christianity create a loss of power in the lives of individuals.
