What else can I help you with?
Who described the tendency of an object that is in motion?
Galileo, then Newton.
Who formelated the laws of accelerated motion and falling bodies?
Galileo
Who first developed the concept of acceleration?
The concept of acceleration was first developed by Galileo Galilei, an Italian scientist, in the 17th century. He studied the motion of objects and formulated the laws of motion that describe how objects move and accelerate.
What Italian scientist did experiments that helped correct misconceptions about force and motion?
Galileo Galilei, an Italian scientist, conducted experiments that helped correct misconceptions about force and motion. He is known for his work in physics, particularly in developing the modern scientific method and making significant contributions to the understanding of gravity and the laws of motion.
Did Galileo's observations confirm the validity of retrograde motion of the planets?
No, Ptolemy did.
How did Ptolemy prove his model?
Galileo explained the backwatds motion of the planets
What ancient greek philosopher did Galileo disprove?
planetary motion laws
What did Galileo think about motion?
Galileo's theory of motion is principle of inertia. It is basically the same thing as Newton's law of motion since he based it on Galileo. It says that an object will remain still or keep moving in constant speed unless affected by another force.
The 3 scientist behind the laws of motion?
Newton Galileo(coined "inertia")
How was Galileo significant in the study of planetary bodies and their motion?
He made a powerful telescope
Conflicting ideas of Galileo and Aristotle about motion?
af Example: a hammer falls faster than a feather Galileo: Proved that an objects mass has no effect on its rate of acceleration as it falls. What causes things to fall at different rates here on earth is air resistance. Aristotle: Believed that heavier objects fall faster than lighter object af Example: a hammer falls faster than a feather Galileo: Proved that an objects mass has no effect on its rate of acceleration as it falls.

The famous scientist that made discoveries about the motion of the planets around the sun?
Galileo Gallie
