|
Order these people in chronological order for their different time periods: Galileo, Sir Isaac Newton, and Aristotle.
Aristotle, Galileo, and Sir Isaac Newton
|
What is his second law?
The acceleration of an object is proportional to the force of the force acting on it

|

Bonus: When did he live here?
Florence
Bonus: 1564-1642 |
What is Newton's third law?

|
What is the example of his law used in the textbook?
Voyager 1 Space Prob
|
What year was Sir Isaac Newton born?
He was born in 1642
|

What is Telos?
A goal or end toward which an object is directed (an object behaves as directed by its Telos)
|
What is the formula for velocity?
