Lesson in this module

The module has one lesson, Lesson 1 – Investigating Principles Governing Motion. It follows the previous module, which covered the Greek idea of a spherical Earth, astronomical phenomena known before the telescope, and Brahe’s work leading to Kepler’s laws of planetary motion.

Aristotle and Galileo on motion

Aristotle sorted motion into two kinds:

  • Natural motion: a body moves and returns to its natural state because of its nature and composition. Smoke rising and an apple falling from a tree are examples.
  • Violent motion: a body needs an external force to move, such as a cart being pushed.

Galileo rejected the idea that motion depends on what a body is made of. He said motion can be described by measuring quantities such as time and distance. The module compares the two thinkers on three kinds of motion:

Kind of motionAristotleGalileo
Vertical motionThe velocity of a body is inversely proportional to the time it takes to travel a certain height.Two objects of different weights dropped from a high point hit the ground at the same time.
Horizontal motionBodies need force to keep moving horizontally.With no interference, a moving body keeps moving in a straight line; force is needed to stop it, not to keep it going.
Projectile motionAntiperistasis: the resistance of a medium in response to a moving body.Projectiles follow a curved path with a horizontal and a vertical component.

Galileo and uniform acceleration

Through his cannonball experiment, Galileo concluded that objects dropped at the same time from the same height reach the ground together, regardless of mass and size. He noticed that falling objects speed up as they go down and called this change in speed acceleration. He also stated that speed is directly proportional to the time of travel, and that distance covered is directly proportional to the square of the time. So the speed of a falling object depends on how long it has been falling, not on its weight.

From his inclined plane experiment, the module lists these conclusions:

  • A body rolling down an inclined plane gains the same amount of speed every second.
  • The greatest acceleration happens when the plane is vertical, as if the body were falling freely.
  • Bodies fall with constant acceleration near the Earth’s surface, and force is not necessary to sustain horizontal motion.

Galileo’s assertion and Newton’s laws

Galileo stated that an object’s mass is related to its resistance to changes in motion, and that force is not needed to keep an object moving. Isaac Newton built his laws of motion on these findings:

  • First law (inertia): a body at rest stays at rest, and a body in motion keeps moving, unless an external force acts on it.
  • Second law: force is the product of an object’s mass and its acceleration.
  • Third law (law of interaction): when two bodies interact, they exert equal forces on each other in opposite directions.

The module sums up the key idea: inertia is a body’s ability to resist a change in its motion.

Activities in the module

  • What’s New – Fall for You: drop a pen and a sheet of paper from one meter, first separately and then glued together, and record the times over three trials.
  • Activity 1 – Great Motion Debate: complete a table comparing Aristotle and Galileo on vertical, horizontal, and projectile motion.
  • Activity 2 – Science Consensus: compare Newton and Galileo on inertia, force, a body at rest, and a body in motion.
  • Activity 3 – Graph it All the Way: explain distance–time, velocity–time, and acceleration–time graphs for a ball on a smooth inclined plane.
  • What I Can Do: relate the principles of motion to road safety (safe vehicle distance, seatbelts, airbags), sports, and parachuting.
  • Additional Activities – Rolling in the Deep: build ramps from folders, roll a marble, and test Galileo’s idea of uniform acceleration.

What is It

Galilean Conceptions vs. Aristotelian Conceptions

According to Aristotle, motion is classified as natural or violent motion. He explained that in a natural motion, a body will move and will return to its natural state based on the body’s nature and composition. In contrast, a body moving in a violent motion needs an external force for it to move. However, Galileo disproved Aristotle’s claims and stated that the motion of a body is not due to its composition. He further asserted that the motion of a body can be described by measurement and the changes in quantifiable variables such as time and distance. Lastly, he further asserted that:

  1. A body who is in uniform motion will move a distance that is proportional to the time it will take to travel;
  2. A uniformly accelerating body will travel at a speed proportional to time; and
  3. An object in motion will keep moving; and the external force is not necessary to maintain the motion.

With regards to the concept of vertical motion, Aristotle pointed out that the velocity of a body is inversely proportional to the time it covers to travel a certain height. On the other hand, Galileo emphasized that if two objects of different weights are dropped from a high point, both will hit the ground at the same time.

In terms of horizontal motion, Aristotle mentioned that bodies require force to maintain horizontal motion. In the contrary, Galileo asserted that if there is no interference, a body in motion will keep moving in a straight line forever. He further added that there is no need to apply force for it to continuously move. The external force will act upon the body not to keep it from moving, but for it to stop moving.

Lastly, with regards to projectile motion, Aristotle coined the concept of antiperistasis which is the resistance of a medium in response to the movement of a body; while Galileo explained that projectiles follow a curved path with a horizontal and vertical component.

Galileo and his Uniform Acceleration

Galileo asserted using his cannonball experiment that when objects are dropped simultaneously at the same height, they will reach the ground at the same time regardless of mass, size, and air resistance. This experiment paved the way for the discovery of the principle of uniform acceleration.

Furthermore, he noticed that falling objects increases their speed as they go down and he coined this change in speed as acceleration. His observations lead to remarkable conclusions that regardless of the mass, size, and shape of an object, and air resistance, falling objects will always have uniform acceleration and that, force is not necessary to sustain the horizontal motion of a body. He further asserted that the speed of a body is directly proportional to the time it travels a path and that the distance covered by a moving body is directly proportional to the square of time interval which implies that the speed of a falling object does not depend on a body’s weight but on the time of fall. Lastly, using his inclined plane experiment and cannonball experiment, he came up with the following observations and conclusions:

[illustration: Galileo standing atop a leaning tower, dropping objects; Figure 2. Galileo and his Cannon Ball Experiment]

[illustration: a ball on a curved inclined plane path; Figure 3. Inclined Plane Experiment]

➢ A body moving down an inclined plane increases its acceleration by the same value after every second.

➢ The maximum acceleration of a body is attained when the inclined plane is positioned vertically as if the body is falling.

➢ Using the law of parabolic fall, he concluded that bodies fall with constant acceleration on the surface and that gravity pulling all bodies downward is a constant force. In this regard, he found out that force is not necessary to sustain horizontal motion.

Galileo’s Assertion and Newton’s Laws of Motion

Galileo Galilei proposed the first accurate principle governing motion and masses in his experiments wherein, remarkable findings such as bodies accelerate at the same rate regardless of their respective masses and sizes and that force is not needed to sustain horizontal motion were emphasized. He stated that the mass of an object is proportional to its resistance to move and that force is not necessary to keep an object in motion. However, Sir Isaac Newton proposed Laws on Motion anchored on the findings of Galileo and expounded his assertions. In his first law of motion, he mentioned that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force and a body in motion will keep moving unless external force is acted upon it. Lastly, he stated that a body will only accelerate if an external force is acted upon it.

Newton’s first law states that, if a body is at rest or in motion, it will remain at rest or keep in motion unless an external force is acted upon. This postulate is known as inertia which was proposed by Galileo in his experiment about horizontal motion wherein, he stated that a body requires an external force to move and that an external force must be acted upon for a body to rest. On the other hand, the second law states that the change in momentum of a body is equal to the magnitude and direction of force acting upon it. He further added that force is the product of the mass of an object and its acceleration. Lastly, the third law also known as the law of interaction states that when two bodies interact, both will apply equal amount of forces to one another in the opposite direction.

What’s More
  1. Vertical motion: Aristotle: the velocity of a body is inversely proportional to the time it covers to travel certain height. Galileo: if two objects of different weight are dropped from a height both of them will hit the ground at the same time. Similarity: gravitational force acts on all bodies.


    Horizontal motion: Aristotle: bodies require force to maintain horizontal motion. Galileo: there is no need to apply force for it to continuously move. Similarity: force acts a factor causing a body to move.


    Projectile motion: Aristotle: antiperistasis is the resistance of a medium in response to the movement of a body. Galileo explained that projectiles follow a curved path with a horizontal and vertical component. Similarity: both considers the effect of interacting with medium (antiperistasis and friction) upon traveling a trajectory.


  2. Newton: resists motion, necessary to move a stationary body and to stop, remains at rest without external force, keeps a body in motion unless acted upon by external force.


    Galileo: resists motion & proportional to mass, not necessary to sustain a moving body, keeps a body at rest due to inertia, keeps a body in motion unless acted upon by force.


  3. D vs. T: the ball covers longer distance for a short period of time. V vs. T: velocity of the ball is increasing at constant rate. A vs. T: the ball is in uniform acceleration.


Additional Activities

The acceleration and distance covered is reduced in both setups, friction causes the deceleration and shorter covering of distance, acceleration will be uniform and the distance covered will is similar to the original height. It will continuously move unless external force is exerted upon it. Force is not necessary to keep a body in motion.
