Were Aristotle's predictions heavenly motion quantitative or qualitative?
qualitative
Were Aristotle's predictions of heavenly motion quantitative or qualiative?
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
What inventions did Aristotle make?
Aristotle examined the nature of matter, space, time, and motion. He had few tools for experimentation and could not measure time or speeds.
How did Aristotle's emphasis on reason and logic contribute to the development of science?
Aristotle makes philosophy coextensive with reasoning, which he also would describe as "science". Note, however, that his use of the term science carries a different meaning than that covered by the term "scientific method"
What is aristotlee contributions to mathematics?
Aristotle was born in 384 B.C. in Stagirus Greece. At about the age of eighteen, he moved to Athens to continue his education at Plato's Academy. He studied as a student of Plato, and later became a Greek philosopher and a teacher of Alexander the Great. Aristotle studied many fields such as physics and math but he was not a thoroughgoing mathematical Platonist. He apparently viewed mathematical truths as hypothetical necessary truths, a position effectively adopted in this century by Russell.In 335 B.C., Aristotle opened his own institute and spent the next twelve years running his own version of an academy, which was called the Lyceum. Aristotle wrote extensively on all subjects: metaphysics, logic, science, and mathematics. At this time, Aristotle had 3 significant findings: "The whole is more than the sum of its parts.", "Heavier things fall faster; the speed being proportional to the weight." and of course "Aristotle's Laws of Motion".Aristotle was the first to think quantitatively about the speeds involved in movements. He made two quantitative assertions about how things fall (natural motion): The speed of fall of a given object depends inversely on the density of the medium it is falling through. So, for example, the same body will fall twice as fast through a medium of half the density.Aristotle's biggest contribution to the field of mathematics however was his development of the study of logic, which Aristotle termed "analytics", as the basis for mathematical study. Aristotle wrote extensively on this concept in his work Prior Analytics, which was published from Lyceum lecture notes several hundred of years after his death. With the Prior Analytics, Aristotle is credited with the earliest study of formal logic, and his conception of it was the dominant form of Western logic until the 19th century advances in mathematical logic.- Prior Analytics states that: syllogism is "a discourse in which, certain things having been supposed, something different from the things supposed results of necessity because these things are so."
How did Isaac Newton contribute to the study of planetary motion?
he didn't
What did Aristotle contribute to history?
Aristotle believed that women contribute only a place for generation to occur, or that women contribute totally passive matter
What did Aristotle contribute to the discovery of the speed of light?
Aristotle did not directly contribute to the discovery of the speed of light. The speed of light was first measured by Ole Roemer in the 17th century using observations of Jupiter's moon Io, and later refined by other scientists. Aristotle's work primarily focused on natural philosophy and did not extend to the study of light and its speed.
Why did Aristotle enjoy studying motion?
Aristotle enjoyed studying motion because he really enjoyed learning about why different things worked.
What two classes of motion did Aristotle advocate?
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).
Who did Alexander the great study with?
Aristotle
What was Aristotle's law of motion?
Aristotle believed v = k(F/R) where speed is proportional to motive force, and inversely proportional to resistance.
How was Aristotle's dynamic motion theory proven wrong?
Aristotle's dynamic motion theory was proven wrong with the advancements in physics and the development of Newton's laws of motion. Newton's laws provided a more accurate description of how objects move and interact with each other, which contradicted Aristotle's ideas about motion and force. Additionally, the observations and experiments of scientists like Galileo further disproved Aristotle's theories on motion.
What were the two main classifications of motion in Aristotle's view of nature?
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.
How did Aristotle contribute to the field of science?
the government ,to the planet and the stars
What were some of the philosophical concerns of Aristotle?
Some of the philosophical concerns of Aristotle included metaphysics (the study of reality), epistemology (the study of knowledge), ethics (the study of morality), and politics (the study of governing society). Aristotle also explored topics such as logic, aesthetics, and the nature of the human soul.
Aristotle called the original source of all motion the?
Unmoved mover. The unmoved mover in Aristotle's philosophy is the ultimate cause of all motion and change in the universe, while itself remaining unchanged and unaffected.
