Answer 1

ARISTOTLE

Question 2

Aristotle divided the motion into two: _________ motion and _________motion

Answer 2

Natural motion and Violent motion

Question 3

According to Aristotle, the __________ motion of an object is to return to its natural state based on its composition.

Answer 3

Natural motion

Question 4

According to Aristotle, __________ motion move not by their “nature” but because of pushes and pulls.

Answer 4

Violent motion

Question 5

Who stated that heavier objects should fall at speeds proportional to their weight.

Answer 5

ARISTOTLE

Question 6

He had been referred to as the “father of modern astronomy”, “Father of modern physics”, and “Father of science”.

Answer 6

GALILEO GALILEI

Question 7

Galileo Galilei’s experimental work is widely considered complementary to the writings of ________________ in establishing the Scientific Method.

Answer 7

Francis Bacon

Question 8

True or False

The work of Galileo Galilei is considered to be a significant break from that of Aristotle.

Answer 8

True

Question 9

Name of Galileo Galilei’s experiment about falling bodies

Answer 9

Reductio Ad Absurdum

Question 10

This experiment of Galileo Galilei explained why heavy objects fall faster, it is because the air resistance slows down the lighter object and If the resistance will reduce they would fall at the same speed and rate.

Answer 10

Reductio Ad Absurdum

Question 11

What is “Reductio Ad Absurdum”?

Answer 11

It is Galileo Galilei’s experiment about falling bodies.

Question 12

What is “Ball rolling on the inclined plane” experiment?

Answer 12

“Ball rolling on the inclined plane” is Galileo Galilei’s experiment about an object that requires a push or pulls to keep it moving.

Question 13

It is Galileo Galilei’s experiment about an object that requires a push or pulls to keep it moving.

Answer 13

Ball rolling on the inclined plane

Question 14

What causes an object (that is moving) to stop?

Answer 14

Friction

Question 15

__________ was a force like any other push or pull & so developed the idea of inertia.

Answer 15

Friction

Question 16

According to Aristotle, things are moving due to application of ___________.

Answer 16

FORCE

Question 17

Aristotle also called forces as __________.

Answer 17

Impetus

Question 18

In this type of motion, it states that the motion of an object is parallel to the ground until the impetus disappear and it is the object’s time to fall back into the ground.

Answer 18

Projectile Motion

Question 19

He was the first to provide conclusive evidence by dropping objects of various weight from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and comparing their falls.

Answer 19

Galileo Galilei

Question 20

Lighter bodies fall at the slower rate due to the _________________.

Answer 20

resistance of the air

Question 21

For Galileo Galilei, the projectile motion was a combination of vertical and horizontal motion and he called it as a “___________________”

Answer 21

“Compound Motion”

Question 22

The vertical and horizontal motion are always _______________ to each other.

Answer 22

Perpendicular

Question 23

Who quoted “Physics should be investigated by experiment rather than logic.” ?

Answer 23

Galileo Galilei
