Aristotle vs. Galileo: view of motion
Storyboard Text
- ARISTOTLE
- Hey, Galileo, I have a question for you.
- What is your view in motion ?
- What is it ?
- MY FIRST QUESTION IS WHAT IS YOUR VIEW IN MOTION?
- GALILEO
- Well for me, my view of motion is called “Impetus” which makes an object move. Forces keep things moving!
- No, I’m not WRONG!
- Then, let me ask you, which object do you think falls faster, is it the heavy one or the light one ?
- pfft, you are WRONG! Forces make things stop or change their direction! Inertia keeps things moving!
- My view of motion is “friction“ or the push and pull action that affects an object’s motion. What about you Aristotle ?
- AS YOU CAN SEE GALILEO AND THE AUDIENCE THE HEAVIER ONES IS MUCH FASTER TO FALL THAN THE LIGHT ONES BECAUSE IT IS IN THE NATURE OF FALLING THE HEAVY OBJECTS SEEK THEIR NATURAL PLACE FASTER THAN THE LIGHT ONES.
- NO, YOU'RE WRONG ARISTOTLE, THE OBJECTS FALLS AT THE SAME RATE  BECAUSE IN THE ABSENCE OF AIR RESISTANCE, GRAVITY CAUSES THE OBJECT TO FALL AT THE SAME RATE.
- IMPRESSIVE ANSWERS FOR BOTH OF YOU!
- NOW, LET'S PROCEED TO THE IDEAS ABOUT MOTION WHICH IS FREE FALL, NOW MY QUESTION IS WHICH OBJECT FALLS FASTER IS IT THE HEAVY ONE OR THE LIGHT ONE?
- I'M THE ONE WHO IS CORRECT GALILEO !
- TO BE CONTINUED!!!
- NO, I AM THE ONE WHO IS CORRECT ARISTOTLE !
