    More than 2000 years ago, the ancient Greek scientists were familiar with some of the ideas of physics that we study today.
    -You're moving at about 107,000 kilometers per hour relative to the sun, and you're moving even faster relative to the center of our galaxy.
    -Since average speed is the whole distance covered divided by the total time of travel, it doesn't indicate the different speeds and variations.
    -You can flip a coin and catch it exacctly as if the bus were at rest.

    -Free-fall acceleration is opproximately equal to 10 meters per second each second, in shorthend notation, 10 m/s2.
    -The downward veloceties have a negative sign, indication the downward direction.
    -An object falls a distance of only 5 meters during the first second of fall, although it's speed is then 10 meters per second.
    -Acceleration is the rate at which velocity itself changes.
    -It took people nearly 2000 years from the time of Aristotle to reach a clear understanding of motion.

    1.That two objects with different weights can fall at the same speed.
    2. The law of inertia by Newton
    3. Galileo dropped objects of various weight from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa to test Aristotle's falling-body hypothesis. He disproved Aristotle's hypothesis.
    4. When the push on the crate is as great as the fource of friction between the crate and the floor the net fource on the crate is zero and it slides at an unchanging speed.
    5.When u flip a coin in a high-speed airplain, it behaves as if the airplain were at rest, the coin keeps up with you.

    1. That the earth moving was based off the idea that the other planets were moving around the sun.
    2. The Objects of different mass, still fall at the same rate.
    3. If a object was moving, and there was no forces to stop it, it would go on forever.
    4. A downward slope increases speed, a upward slope decreases speed, and no slope, has no applying forces on it.
    5. Since average speed is the whole distance covered divided by the total time of travel, it doesn't indicate the different speeds and variations that may have taken place during shorter time intervals.
    6. Constant velocity means both constant speed and
    8. Galileo developed the concept of acceleration in his experiments on inclined planes. He discovered that when the air resistance is small enough to be neglected, all objects fall with the same unchanging acceleration.
    9. Motion is relative. This means that even if an object appears to be at rest, it is not always at rest. For example, the Earth moves about 107,000 kilometers per hour relative to the Sun.constant direction.
    10.How far an object moves is altogether different from how fast it gets there. Galileo found that the distance an accelerating object travels is proportional to the "Square of Time".

  12. Chapter 2 cont.
    4 galileo gave us the knowledge to the copernicus view of a moving earth
    5 galileo was born the same year as shakespeare and the same year mechealangelo died.
    6 Aristotled idea that a moving object must be propelled by a steady force was completely turned around by galileo
    7 every object continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.
    8 changes in motion are produced by a force or combonation of forces.
    9 Isaac Newton was born prematurely and barely survived, on christmas Day, 1642 the same year that galileo died
    10 when the net force on something is zero we say that something is in mechanical equilibrium

    chaoter 3

    1 everything moves-even things that appear to be at rest.
    2 Galieo is credited with being the first to measure speed by considering the distance covered and the time it takes
    3 any combination of distance and time units is legitimate for measuring speed
    4 constant speed means steady speed. something with constant speed deosnt speed up or slow down
    5 if either the speed or the direction changes then the velocity changes
    6 when a falling object is free of all restraints no friction with the air or otherwise and falls under the influence of gravity alone the object is in a state of free fall
    7 galileo found that the distance a uniformily accelerating object travels is proportional to the square of the time.
    8 Galileo developed the concept of acceleration in his experiments on inclined planes.
    9 galileo found that a ball rolling down an inclined plane picks up the same amount of speed in succesive seconds.
    10 galileo found greater accelerations for steeper inclines.

  13. 1. A theory so completley dif from dcommon opinon would surely be taken as an attack on established order, so Corpernicus' theory that the earth circled tGhe sun left him in fear of persecution.
    2. For many church leaders, the idea of a moving Earth theartned not only their authority but the very foundations of faith and civilization as well.
    3. Galileo is said to have dropped objects of various weights from the top of the leaning Tower of Pisa and have compared their falls.
    4. If there is no interference with an object it will continue to move in one direction forever.
    5.When the net force of something is zero we say that something is in mechanical equilibrium.
    6. Twi ibjects of different weights can fall at the same speed.
    7. Gravity is always at work.
    8. Everything moves even things that appear to be at rest.
    9. How far an object falls is altogether different then how fast it falls.
    10. Galileo and Newton, say that all moving things follow the same rule

    1.Galileo found that the distance a uniformily accelerating object travels is proportional to the square of the time.
    2. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity itself changes.
    3. Something with constant speed does not speed up or slow down.

    7. Air resistance is responsible for a paper to fall more slowly to the ground when it is drop at the same time as a book.
    8. We accelerate whenever we move in a curved path, even if we're moving at constant speed because our direction is changing so our velocity is changing.
    9. Aristotle's views became a very formidable part of Church doctrine so to contradict Aristotle's views was to contradict the Church.
    10. A quantity such as velocity that specifies direction as well as magnitude is called a Vector Quantity.

  14. Chapter 2-10 Interesting Facts

    1.Aristotle divided motion into two main classes: natural motion and violent motion.

    2.Aristotle asserted that natural motion proceeds from the “nature” of an object, dependent on what combination of the four elements (earth, water, air, and fire) the object contains.

    3.The first copy of Nicolaus Copernicus‘s famous exposition reached him on the day he died-May 24, 1543.

    4.The symbol "E" stands for the vector sum of and "F" stands for forces.

    5.The equilibrium rule, ∑F=0, provides a reasoned way to view all things at rest-balancing rocks, objects in yo9ur room, or the steel beams in bridges or in building constructions.

    6.Isaac Newton showed that the universe operated according to natural laws that were neither capricious nor malevolent-a knowledge that provided hope and inspiration to scientists.

    7.Every object continues in its state or rest, or uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.

    8.Mechanical equilibrium is when the net force on something is zero.

    9.Newton used Galileo's idea and made it his first law, Law of Inertia.

    Chapter 3-10 Interesting Facts

    1.Everything moves-even things that appear to be at rest. They move relative to the sun and stars.

    2.As I was reading this, I was moving at about 107,000 kilometers per hour relative to the Sun, and I was moving even faster relative to the center of the galaxy.

    3.Things in motion often have variations in speed. The speed at any instant is the instantaneous speed.

    4.Constant speed means steady speed. Something with constant speed doesn’t speed up or slow down.

    5.Constant velocity means both constant speed and constant direction (straight line-never curves).

    6.When we wish to specify how far something falls, we are talking about distance, which is expressed as d=½ gt².

    7.Galio found the distance of a uniformly accelerating object travels proportionally to the square of its time.

    8.An object thrown straight up, its speed is zero when it’s changing its direction of motion changes from upward to downward.

    9.Air resistance is responsible for a paper to fall more slowly to the ground when it is dropping at the same time as a book.

    10.We accelerate whenever we move in a curved path, even if we’re moving at constant speed because our direction is changing so our velocity is changing.
