Aristotle and Motion

• All motion is linear
• All motion in the heavens (outer space) is curved
• The speed at which an object falls is directly
  related to the mass of an object
• Motion could be considered in two main factions
  natural and violent
• Motion continues so long as there is only an
  applied motion to an object. Removing the motion
  stops the object.

Projectile Motion
I now propose to set forth those properties
which belong to a body whose motion is compounded
of two other motions, namely, one uniform and one
naturally accelerated Galileo(1638) Dialogue

Projectile Motion
What is Galileo showing in this drawing?
16
Projectile Motion
Gravity accelerates objects downward, but is
unable to effect the horizontal motion of a
projectile.

Monkey Hunter
The zookeeper feeds the monkey by shooting
bananas to the monkey. The monkey has a habit of
dropping from the tree the moment that the banana
leaves the muzzle of the cannon. The zookeeper is
faced with the dilemma of where to aim the banana
cannon in order to hit the monkey.

Projectile Motion
Galileo had answered the question in 1638
