Aristotle vs Galileo

Inertia is....

• for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
• larger objects take more force to move 
• an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted on by an opposite force
• a push that acts in the opposite direction and it slows down.

If you are Galileo answer the ff question:

"Why does a bowling ball and feather hit the ground at different times when dropped from the same height?"

• They don't; they hit the ground at the same time.

• One is more dense than the other.

• One is heavier than the other.

• Air resistance

The more mass an object has, the faster it will fall.

• True

• False

• Aristotle - TRUE; Galileo - FALSE

• Aristotle - FALSE; Galileo - TRUE
