WHAT’S IN
Term/Name of Person What I know about it?
Aristotle He classified motion into two types: natural
motion and violent motion.
Galileo He believed that a projectile motion is a
combination of uniform motion in the horizontal
direction and uniformly accelerated motion in
the vertical direction.
Distance Is a measurement of "how much ground an
item has covered while moving."
Inertia Any physical object's resistance to a change in
velocity.
Acceleration The rate at which velocity varies over time,
both in terms of speed and direction.
WHAT’S NEW
A. Aristotelian and Galilean concepts of motion
B. How Galileo inferred objects in vacuum fall

Imagine yourself holding a bowling ball and a ping pong ball. If you drop these balls in a
vacuum simultaneously, which ball do you think would have greater acceleration upon
reaching the ground? Why?
If I throw a bowling ball and a ping pong ball at the same height and in the same vacuum, they
will fall at the same acceleration regardless of mass and air resistance.
C. Distinction between Newton’s 1st Law of Motion and Galileo

Is there a difference between Galileo’s assertion and Newton’s first law of motion? Since
there is no gravity in space, will it be easier to lift a sack of rice in space compared here
on earth? What does the law of inertia and Galileo’s assertion tell us about this?
The idea of force is the sole distinction between Galileo's claim and Newton's first rule of
motion. Galileo did not understand the notion of force at the time, and it was Newton who
eventually explained the nature of forces.
WHAT’S MORE
INDEPENDENT ACTIVITY 1
Aristotelian and Galilean concepts of motion
Aristotle or Galileo?
PART A.
1. Hold a stone and a piece of paper at the same height.
2. Drop the stone and paper simultaneously.
Which will fall faster? The sheet of paper and the piece of stone do not reach the ground at
the same time and the stone will fall faster.
Why? This is due to the fact that air resistance opposes the motion of a sheet of paper more
than it opposes the motion of stone.
PART B.
1. Do the same procedure in Part A, but this time use crumpled paper.
2. Drop the stone and crumpled paper simultaneously.
Which will fall faster? The stone fall faster.
Why? Because the stone is heavier, than the crumpled paper and the heavier the object, the
faster it will fall.
OBSERVATIONS:
1. Which part describes Aristotle’s view of motion? Why? The second one, where the
heavier object fall faster than the lighter objects.
2. Which part describes Galileo’s view of motion? Why? The first one where, neglecting air
resistance, the time of travel of an object was independent of the masses.

ACTIVITY 1: Watch Objects in free fall Source
OBJECTIVES:
To verify the evidence used by Galileo to refute Aristotle’s idea.
WHAT YOU NEED?

 Coin
 paper disc
 meter stick
 stop watch
 glue
WHAT TO DO?
A.
1. Hold a coin and paper disc about one meter or more above the floor.
2. Drop both of them simultaneously
3. Measure the time of fall using a stopwatch
B.
1. Paste the coin the ball so that they stick together.
2. Drop them together from the same distance as in Part A.
3. Measure the time of fall again.
C.
Record your Data

Tria Distance Paper Disc Coin Ball + Cotton

1 1m 1s .5s 2s
2 2m 2s 1s 4s
3 3m 3s 2s 5s
OBSERVATIONS:
1. In part A, which falls faster? Why?
According to the recorded data the coin fell faster. This is because the lesser air resistance that
was in the coin compared to the paper disc who has more air resistance.
2. In part B, how will you describe the time of fall of the ball and the cotton?
If we observe the results of the time of fall of the ball and the cotton, then we can conclude that
it took quite time for them to fall.
3. What can you infer from the time of fall of the ball and the cotton together?
We can infer that the higher the fall, the slower it fell to the ground.

Distinction between Newton’s 1st Law of Motion and Galileo’s Assertion
Do this: Roll the ball downward, upward and on a level plane.
1. When the ball rolls down the plane, what happen to its speed? Why?
Because the ball is travelling with gravity, it accelerates as it rolls down the plane.
2. When the ball rolls up the plane, what happen to its speed? Why?
When the ball rolls up the plane, it is moving against gravity, slowing it down.
3. When the ball roll is rolling on a level plane, will its speed change?
If the friction between the floor and the ball were eliminated, a ball rolling on a level plane would
continue to move at a constant rate.
4. Is there a difference between Galileo’s assertion and Newton’s first law of motion?
There is a distinction to be made. The distinction is in the idea of force. Galileo was aware of
friction but was unaware of the idea of force. He used the phrase 'push and pull' to describe
forces. Sir Isaac Newton established the notion of force and its relationship to motion.
