  • Aristotelian
    his attempt was based on inductive-deductive reasoning
  • Galilean
    motion can either natural or violent motion
  • 3. Galilean
    he believed that an object thrown at a certain angle is given an impetus
  • 4. Aristotelian
    earth objects/ materials falls towards the center of the earth as it seeks its natural place
  • 5. Aristotelean
    Heavy objects fall faster than the light one with relation to its weight and a proportional speed.
  • 6. Aristotelean
    Objects falls faster in air than water with relation to the resisting force proportional to its speed and medium (air or water
  • 7. Aristotelean
    Objects can be moved away from their natural places called Violent Motion, that causes motive force
  • 8. Aristotelean
    There is NO MOTION without FORCE. The speed (v) of an object is proportional to the motive force (F) and inversely proportional to the resistance  (R) of the medium
  • 9. Galilean
    Believed that the motion of objects is not simply due to the composition of objects
  • 10. Aristotelean
    A projectile is a combination of uniform motion in the horizontal direction and uniformly accelerated motion
  • diff. VECTOR

    has both magnitude & direction
  • diff, scalar
    magnitude
  • ex. Vector

    displacement, velocity, acceleration, momentum, force, weight
  • impulse
    is the change in momentum
  • ex, Scalar
    length, area, volume, speed, mass, pressure, temperature, energy
  • inertia
    an object stays still unless acted upon
  • free fall

    other term for gravity
  • trajectory
    the path of a projectile
  • horizontal motion 

    movement of a projectile motion due to acceleration
  • parabolic
    the horizontal distance from the point of release
  • 9.8m/s 2squared

    normal gravitational acceleration point
  • speed
    the rate at which an object covers a certain distance
  • distance
    refers to the total length of path traveled by an object
  • .
    bending of light around a corner
  • .
    changing of speed of light passing through one medium to another
  • reflection (c)
    bouncing of light
  • dispersion of light
    separation of white light into component colors when it passes through a prism
  • wave
    a travelling disturbance that transport energy to one location into another
  • medium
    a material where energy travels through
  • propagation
    the movement of the energy
  • 2 classifications of waves 

    9.by the presence of a medium.
    10.by the orientation of particle motion relative to the direction of the wave propagation
  • 11.mechanical wave
    a disturbance in matter that carries energy from one place to another
  • 12.electromagnetic wave

    propagation of electric and magnetic fields through space
  • 13.transverse

    .
  • 14. longitudinal
    .
  • explain the EM wave spectrum
    ;
  • 2. when is Period (T) of a mechanical wave happen

    .
  • 3. Speed (v)

    .
  • 4. Periodic
    .
  • 5. Electromagnetic wave with "shorter wavelength(gamma rays, x-rays& UV rays)
