Galileo is the one who relied on experiments to test his theories and observations about the natural world. He is often credited with the development of the scientific method, emphasizing empirical evidence and experimentation. In contrast, Aristotle primarily relied on philosophical reasoning and observation rather than controlled experiments to draw conclusions about nature. This distinction marked a significant shift in scientific inquiry during the Renaissance.
The birth order of these historical figures is as follows: Ptolemy was born around 100 AD, followed by Galileo, who was born in 1564. Copernicus was born in 1473, making him the earliest of the three, but he was born before Galileo. Aristotle was born earlier, around 384 BC, making him the first in this list.
Aristotle's view was that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones, based on his observation that a heavier object fell more quickly when dropped. This belief was later contradicted by Galileo's experiments, which showed that in the absence of air resistance, objects of different weights fall at the same rate.
Galileo found the density of an object by dividing its mass by its volume. This relationship can be expressed using the formula: Density = Mass/Volume. Galileo's experiments and observations helped him understand this principle.
Galileo Galilei significantly advanced the understanding of gravity through his experiments and observations. He proposed that objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass, challenging the prevailing belief that heavier objects fall faster. By conducting experiments, such as dropping balls from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, he demonstrated that the acceleration due to gravity is constant. Galileo's insights laid the groundwork for Isaac Newton's later formulation of the law of universal gravitation.
Aristotle did not believe that the Sun was at the center; he thought Earth was. Aristarchus, a Greek astronomer, is probably the earliest person we know of who supported a heliocentric solar system.
Aristotle predates the scientific method, and he was not a scientist, he was a natural philosopher. He did not perform experiments or use scientific tools to study anything.
Galileo
"Galileo was the first to really discredit Aristotle's laws. He did this by postulating that heavier objects would hit the ground at the same time as lighter objects, when dropped from the same height. He proved this with a famous demonstration where he dropped two balls of different weights from the leaning tower of Pisa. The balls hit the ground at the same time. Galileo also came up with the idea of inertia. Rather than take Aristotle's view that and object must have a force acting on it to keep moving, Galileo said that an object would move continuously in a straight line as long as no outside forces acted on it."
No, Aristotle believed that different objects fall at different rates of speed based on their weight. He thought that heavier objects fell faster than lighter objects. This view was later disproven by Galileo's experiments on gravity.
Aristotle stated that a falling object accelerated in accordance with its mass, again Aristotle was provedwrong.
His telescope
No, Aristotle did
Galileo challenged Aristotle's belief that heavier objects fell faster than lighter ones.
Galileo performed experiments to test his ideas.
Aristotle and Galileo Galilie
they Both researched that the earth was round
no it would be dangeras
