According to Aristotle, a body that is stationary will continue to be stationary unless a force is applied to it. According to Aristotle, a falling body accelerates because its weight increases as it approaches Earth’s surface. According to Galileo, a body in motion along a frictionless surface does not need an external force to maintain its motion. According to Galileo, objects fall at the same rate even if one object is more massive than the other object. 1 and 2 3 and 4 1,3, and 4 1,2,3 and 4 Which of the following is a correct explanation to one of the consequences of Special Relativity?
