Aristotle on Motion
Aristotle classified motion into two kinds:
• Natural motion –
motion that is straight up or straight down
• Violent motion –
imposed motion resulting from an external
push or pull
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Galileo’s Concept of Inertia
Italian scientist Galileo demolished Aristotle’s
assertions in early 1500s.
In the absence of a force, objects once set in
motion tend to continue moving indefinitely.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Galileo’s Concept of Inertia
Legend of the Leaning
Tower of Pisa:
Galileo showed that
dropped objects fall to
the ground at the same
time when air resistance
is negligible.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Galileo’s Concept of Inertia
Discovery:
In the absence of friction, no force is
necessary to keep a horizontally moving
object moving.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Galileo’s Concept of Inertia
Experiment:
Balls rolling down inclined planes and then
up others tend to roll back up to their
original heights.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Galileo’s Concept of Inertia
Conclusion:
The tendency of a moving body to keep
moving is natural—every material object
resists change in its state of motion. This
property of things to resist change is
called inertia.
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
The use of inclined planes for Galileo’s experiments helped
him to
A. eliminate the acceleration of free fall.
B. discover the concept of energy.
C. discover the property called inertia.
D. discover the concept of momentum.

Note that inertia is a property of matter, not a reason for the
behavior of matter.

Mass—A Measure of Inertia
The amount of inertia possessed by an object depends on
the amount of matter—the amount of material that
composes it—its mass:
greater mass ⇒ greater inertia
smaller mass ⇒ smaller inertia
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Mass—A Measure of Inertia
Mass
• Quantity of matter in an object
• Measure of inertia or sluggishness that an
object exhibits in response to any effort made
to start it, stop it, or change its state of motion
in any way
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Mass—A Measure of Inertia
Weight
• Amount of gravitational pull on an object
• Proportional to mass
Twice the mass ⇒ twice the weight
Half the mass ⇒ half the weight
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
Mass—A Measure of Inertia
Mass versus volume:
• Mass involves how much matter an object
contains
• Volume involves how much space an object
occupies

moving.

Sun is about 100,000
kilometers per hour.
• When we say a space
shuttle travels at
30,000 kilometers per
hour, we mean
relative to the Earth.

A hungry bee sees a flower in a 5-m/s breeze. How fast
and in what direction should the bee fly in order to hover
above the flower?
A. It should fly toward the flower, then at 5 m/s into the breeze.
B. It should fly with the breeze at 5 m/s away from the flower.
C. The bee will not be able to fly in a 5-m/s breeze.
D. The bee will not be able to reach the flower.
Explanation:
When just above the flower, it should fly at 5 m/s in order to hover
at rest. This is why bees grip onto a flower to prevent from being
blown off.
