  2. A modern look athistorical laws of falling bodies • Oresme (14th century): v  t s  t2 (both correct)

  3. A modern look athistorical laws of falling bodies • Galileo (17th century):

  4. A modern look athistorical laws of falling bodies • Galileo (17th century):

  5. A modern look athistorical laws of falling bodies • Galileo (17th century): s  t2 (correct)

  6. A modern look athistorical laws of falling bodies • da Vinci (15th century):

  7. A modern look athistorical laws of falling bodies • da Vinci (15th century):

  8. A modern look athistorical laws of falling bodies • da Vinci (15th century): s  (t)(t + 1)/2 = t2/2 + t/2

  9. A modern look athistorical laws of falling bodies • da Vinci (15th century): s  (t)(t + 1)/2 = t2/2 + t/2 v = ds/dt  t + 1/2 (moving at the start)

  10. A modern look athistorical laws of falling bodies • Albert of Saxony (14th century): v  s

  11. A modern look athistorical laws of falling bodies • Albert of Saxony (14th century): v  s ds/dt = s (ignored proportionality constant)

  12. A modern look athistorical laws of falling bodies • Albert of Saxony (14th century): v  s ds/dt = s (ignored proportionality constant) s = et (ignored another proportionality constant)

  13. A modern look athistorical laws of falling bodies • Albert of Saxony (14th century): v  s ds/dt = s (ignored proportionality constant) s = et (ignored another proportionality constant) v = et

  14. A modern look athistorical laws of falling bodies • Albert of Saxony (14th century): v  s ds/dt = s (ignored proportionality constant) s = et (ignored another proportionality constant) v = et Takes an infinite time to start from infinitesimal velocity!
