The Movers in Physics • Aristotle 384-322 BC • Copernicus 1473-1543 (De Revolutionibus) • Galileo (1564-1642) • Newton (1642-1727) • Einstein (1879-1955)
Law of inertia (Newton’s1st Law) • Every object continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it. • acceleration = 0.0 unless the objected is acted on by unbalanced forces
