Q

the motion of a projectile which is the
result of the tendency of any object in motion, to remain in
motion at constant velocity.

51
Q

A

ARISTOTLE

52
Q

In the absence of resistance, objects would fall not depending on their weight,
but in the time of fall.

A

53
Q

Also, if the object encountered a resistive force from a fluid
equal or greater than its weight, it will slow down and reaches a uniform motion
until it reaches the bottom and stops.

54
Q

object in motion, if not obstructed or hindered, will continue to be in motion,
and an external force is not necessary to maintain the motion.

A

55
Q

If the Earth’s
the surface is very flat and extended infinitely, objects that are pushed will not be hindered. Thus, the objects will continue to move.

56
Q

for quantifying the “rate of fall” by measurement of
distance and time and plotting it graphically.

A

Galileo

57
Q

performed experiments on uniformly accelerated motion using an
inclined plane, and used the same apparatus to study projectile motion.

A

Galileo

58
Q

Galileo was able to determine that the path of a
the projectile is ___________.

A

Galileo, parabolic

59
Q

He believed that a projectile is a combination of uniform
motion in the horizontal direction and uniformly
accelerated motion in the vertical direction. If it is not
hindered, it will continue to move even without an
applied force.

Galileo

60
Q

with uniform acceleration.

required for violent but not natural
motion.

A

65
Q

Objects in a ____________ will fall at the ________
because in a vacuum there is nothing. Since
there is no air or anything in space, objects
that are heavy or light, will fall at the same
time.

A

Galileo, vacuum, same time

66
Q

_____________ is not necessarily required for violent
motion. Force is not required for object
moving at constant velocity.

A

Force, Galileo

67
Q

Freely falling bodies undergo constant
acceleration in which it is referred to as ____________
The free fall acceleration represent a symbol “___”
which means _____________.

A

free fall, g, gravity

68
Q
