Aristotle

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 never identifies the Prime Mover as god. In fact, he never particularly identifies it as conscious, although many have posited the likelihood of his having thought of it as conscious based upon clues in On the Soul, which paints the soul as a thing that is not moved in a locomotive way and yet is capable of causing that type of motion in the physical material of the body.

One of the main opponents of Democritus' atomic theory was Aristotle. Aristotle believed in the concept of continuous matter and rejected the idea of indivisible particles as proposed by Democritus. This disagreement was rooted in their differing views on the nature of reality and the structure of the universe.

Aristotle's classification of animals grouped together animals with similar characters into genera (used in a much broader sense than present-day biologists use the term) and then distinguished the species within the genera. He divided the animals into two types: those with blood, and those without blood (or at least without red blood). These distinctions correspond closely to our distinction between vertebrates and invertebrates. The blooded animals, corresponding to the vertebrates, included five genera: viviparous quadrupeds (mammals), birds, oviparous quadrupeds (reptiles and amphibians), fishes, and whales (which Aristotle did not realize were mammals). The bloodless animals were classified as cephalopods (such as the octopus); crustaceans; insects (which included the spiders, scorpions, and centipedes, in addition to what we now define as insects); shelled animals (such as most molluscs and echinoderms); and "zoophytes," or "plant-animals," which supposedly resembled plants in their form -- such as most cnidarians.

Aristotle's emphasis on observation and logic laid the foundation for the scientific method, which is still used today. Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe influenced early astronomy and sparked debates that eventually led to the development of heliocentrism by Copernicus and Galileo.

According to Aristotle, the two types of motion are natural motion and violent motion. Natural motion is the inherent tendency of objects to move towards their natural place in the universe, while violent motion is the result of an external force acting upon an object to cause it to move.

The primary source is man's innate ability to tell right from wrong. This is often coupled with religious teachings, but even without religion, there is a knowledge in all of us. Most of the rest of the laws are a result of the government action.

Aristotle contributed to physical science through his observations and theories on natural philosophy, particularly in the fields of physics and biology. He proposed explanations for natural phenomena based on empirical observations and logic, laying the foundation for the development of the scientific method and influencing scientific thought for centuries to come.

This belief was known as the geocentric theory, which proposed that the Earth was the stationary center of the universe, with all celestial bodies revolving around it. This theory dominated scientific thought until the development of the heliocentric model by astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo in the 16th century.

Aristotle stated that the heavier something is, the faster it falls, but later Galileo Galilei disproved that by testing Aristotle's theory.

A Second Answerer says:

Aristotle was actually correct if the object falls far enough to reach it's terminal velocity. He had studied falling bodies in fluids and found that the terminal velocity depended on the density of the object and the fluid. Galileo's experiment only worked because the fluid, air, has a very low density and because the distance was too short for the iron balls to reach their terminal velocities. For hailstones, which fall far enough to reach terminal velocities, it is found that heavier stones are traveling much faster when they hit the ground.

Aristotle rejected the concept of atoms and instead proposed a continuous, indivisible substance as the basis of all matter. His views on the composition of matter were influential for many centuries, until the development of modern atomic theory in the 19th century.

Aristotle believed that the blood was cooled by the brain.

In Aristotle's hierarchy, the four elements (earth, water, air, fire) are classified based on their perceived qualities. Earth is considered the heaviest and most stable element, followed by water, air, and fire. This hierarchy reflects a belief that the elements are arranged in order of increasing rarity and potency.

Aristotle did not propose an atomic model similar to modern atomic theory. He believed in the concept of the four elements (earth, water, air, fire) as the basic building blocks of matter, rather than indivisible atoms. His model focused on the qualities of hot, cold, wet, and dry to explain changes in matter.

According to Aristotle, natural motion did not require any external forces. This included movements such as falling objects seeking their natural place or celestial bodies moving in their orbits.

he won umm..... (thinking) ........ he won a medal form the british society of cell biologists, he is fellow of royal society, and he got credited for the invention of the wheell barometer, hydrometer, and last but not least the anemometer.

Aristotle's four elements are earth, water, air, and fire. He believed that all matter was composed of these elements in various combinations and ratios. Each element had different properties and qualities that influenced the natural world.

As an object accelerates, air resistance also increases due to the object moving through the air at a higher speed. This increased air resistance creates a force opposite to the direction of motion, ultimately slowing down the acceleration of the object.

Aristotle disbelieved the ancient Greek theory of atoms being of different sizes, regular geometric shapes and beig in constant motion. He didn't think atoms could be in constant motion in a void. He developed the theory that all matter consisted of four elements: Earth, Air, Water and Fire. There were also four qualities: dryness, hotness, coldness, and moistness. Fire was dry and hot, water was moist and cold, etc. Each of these elements move naturally in a line to their "proper place," where it will be at rest. Aristotle's theory also had two forces: conflict and harmony. Conflict was thought to cause bad things, and harmony good things. Aristotle also believed that the heavens were made of a fifth, superior element named aither. Aristotle's theory was used for almost 2000 years, until after the scientific revolution, when other theories prevailed.

He thought that the atom was a creature that lived in the waters on Mars. He then thought to himself "How could thy creature get down to earth? It must've traveled through time and landed here!" He then got the idea of inventing a restuarant called Ruby Tuesdays to repel all the invaders and save the town. It is also believed that he proposed the thoery that an atom is concieved when two stars get it on and cause a supernova.

It is called Free Fall.

They were Animalia (animal) and Vegetabilia (vegetable) in IV b.C.

Robert Hooke did not receive any major awards during his lifetime. He is best known for his contributions to the field of science, particularly in the areas of biology and physics.
