Motion - An object's change in position upon application of force by another object<|>If there's an unbalanced force, it is expected that the object that the force has acted upon will be in motion
One of the famous individuals who developed an explanation for motion which lasted for almost 2 thousand years<|>A Greek Philosopher<|>Developed an idea that in order for an object to move, force must act upon it<|>But when that force is removed, the object comes to rest
Also saw Impetus as the cause of movement<|>Further developed the theory of Impetus introduced by Philoponus<|>Motion is possible through a mover that keeps the object moving with power proportional to the speed & mass of the object<|>When the mover is removed, the object stops moving<|>Later named Impetus as Force
Disagreed with Aristotle's claim<|>Claimed that even without a continuous force, an object can continue moving with a constant speed through a straight line if there are no outside forces acting on it<|>Was the first to suggest that uniform speed straight line motion was just as natural as at rest state of motion<|>Called this tendency of an object to maintain its initial state of motion as Inertia<|>Although Galilei didn't fully explain motion, he took the firstest vital step that completely change the world's view about motion of objects
