Aristotle enjoyed studying motion because he really enjoyed learning about why different things worked.
Yes, scholars do enjoy learning and studying
Aristotle advocated two classes of motion: natural motion, which is inherent to objects and includes vertical motion (up or down), and violent motion, which is caused by an external force and includes horizontal motion (push or pull).
Aristotle believed v = k(F/R) where speed is proportional to motive force, and inversely proportional to resistance.
Aristotle's dynamic motion theory was proven wrong by a man named Galileo. He tested Aristotle's theory by dropping a heavy object and a lighter object at the same time. The experiment proved Aristotle wrong because the result was that the two objects were falling at the same rate (speed).
Newton was studying nature and force and motion desscribe nature.
No, Aristotle was not an idealist. He was a realist philosopher who believed in studying the physical world and observing reality to understand the nature of things.
Aristotle classified motion into natural motion and violent motion. Natural motion was intrinsic to an object's nature, such as an apple falling from a tree. Violent motion was caused by an external force acting on an object, like pushing a ball.
Aristotle called the original source of all motion the first cause or prime mover.

Isaac Newton is credited with disproving Aristotle's laws of motion. He did so by introducing his three laws of motion, which provided a more accurate explanation of how objects move and interact with one another compared to Aristotle's principles. Newton's laws formed the foundation of classical mechanics.
I. Aristotle's Theory of Motion • Two basic principles: I. No motion without a mover in contact with moving body. II. Distinction between: (a) Natural motion: mover is internal to moving body (b) Forced motion: mover is external to moving body
