Q

Aristotle’s statement about the first arguement?

A

Aristotle: heavier objects fall at a quicker rate than lighter objects

27
Q

Disproving belief: what is the second argument about?

A

Motion

28
Q

Aristotle’s statements about motion?

A

Objects do not move without a force
- Objects in motion always require a force to keep them moving
- Objects seek their natural state, which is at rest - Mechanical equilibrium can only be static

29
Q

The opposing force that stops motion?

A

Friction

30
Q

Galileo’s theory in motion

A

Theory: Gravity produces constant acceleration - used experiment to draw conclusion

31
Q

It is the movement or change in location of an object overtime
- It is often describe in terms of
direction, location, and speed

A

Motion

32
Q

Every object has a proper place in the universe

A

Aristotle

33
Q

Motion of the sun, moon, and
stars: perfect circles
- Sun, Moon and stars formed of
perfect, incorruptible substance
What kind of motion

A

Celestial motion

34
Q

Sun, Moon and stars formed of
perfect, incorruptible substance
called

A

Ether

35
Q

This motion is different from
anything on the Earth.

A

Celestial motion

36
Q

Thought to be either straight up
or straight down
What kind of motion?

A

Natural motion

37
Q

Solid objects (or liquids) fall
because they seek their natural resting place which is the center of the Earth
What kind of motion?

A

Natural motion

38
Q

Boulders on the ground
- Air, smoke and flames like to
rise upwards
- Heavy things fall and very light
things rise
What kind of motion?

A

Natural motion

39
Q

Impose motion: Horizontal Motion
- It was the result of forces that pushed or pulled
What kind of motion?

A

Violent motion

40
Q

It had an external cause, object in their natural resting places could not move by themselves. What kind of motion?

A

Violent motion

41
Q

An arrow shot from bow and a rock or stone thrown at an angle
What kind of motion?

A
42
Q

Is the force that acts between materials that touch as they move past each other
- It caused by the irregularities in the surfaces of objects that are touching

A

Friction

43
Q

a type of motion wherein no other external forces aside from gravity influences the acceleration of an object

A

Free fall

44
Q

It states that “Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force which is directly proportional to product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them

A

Universal law of gravitation

45
Q

Free fall value

A

9.8 m/s^2

46
Q

Formula of force

A

F= G m1 m2/ r^2

47
Q

Gravitational constant

A

= 6.668x10^-8 dynes cm2/g2
= or 6.67x10^-11 N m2/kg2

48
Q

We see the world by sending “something” out of our eyes and that reflect from the objects
According to?

A

Aristotle

49
Q

is collected by small probes from our
eyes and returns to it

A

Light

50
Q

Light is a particle
- Streams of tiny particles moving in all
direction from source His idea was accepted
Who is stated?

A

Isaac newton

51
Q

In the 17th century, some properties of light were already known

A

a. Light has different colors
b. Light can travel through
vacuum
c. Light can be reflected and
refracted

52
Q

Light travels in waves in all direction
- Each point on the wave front of a
disturbance was considered to be a new
source
- wave are disturbances
- for him light scatters

A

Christian hyugens

53
Q

Light combines/overlaps/cancels
What is this?

A

Interference

54
Q

Who discovered interference?

A

Thomas young

55
Q

Who discovered electromagnetic waves?

A

Maxwell

56
Q

Explains colors of hot objects with new idea of “quanta” (“photon”) of light energy
Who discovered this?

A

Max planck

57
Q

We have two contradictory pictures of
reality separately neither of them fully explains the phenomena of light but together they do
To conclude…
➢ Lighth as dual nature
➢ Light as aparticle
➢ Light as a wave
Who discovered this?

A

Albert einstein

58
Q

Mass in motion

A

Momentum

59
Q

Kepler’s law of planetary motion

A
  1. Orbit are ellipses
  2. The line joining the planet and the sun of a planet sweeps equal areas equal intervals of time
60
Q

Gravity value

A

9.8 m/s^2

61
Q

3 laws of motion

A

Law of inertia
Law of acceleration
Law of action

62
Q

An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain at constant speed unless acted by an unbalanced force. Which law

A

Law of intertia

63
Q

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of an object
Which law?

A

Law of acceleration

64
Q

Every action has an equal opposite reaction

A

Third law
