Strato of Lampsacus, a student of Theophrastus in Aristotle’s Lyceum, made which of the following contradictions of Aristotelian physics (that were later verified by Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton)? falling bodies do not accelerate, and heavier bodies fall at a faster velocity than lighter bodies falling bodies accelerate, but lighter bodies fall at a faster velocity than heavier bodies falling bodies accelerate, but heavy bodies and lighter bodies fall at the same velocity falling bodies accelerate, but heavier bodies fall at a faster velocity than lighter bodies falling bodies do not accelerate, and heavier bodies and lighter bodies fall at the same velocity
Newton's Law of Gravitation says that the magnitude F of the force exerted by a body of mass m on a body of mass M is GmM F = where G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance between the bodies. (a) Find dF/dr. dF dr What is the meaning of dF/dr? dF/dr represents the rate of change of the distance between the bodies with respect to the force. dF/dr represents the rate of change of the force with respect to the distance between the bodies. dF/dr represents the rate of change of the mass with respect to the distance between the bodies. dF/dr represents the amount of force per distance. dF/dr represents the rate of change of the mass with respect to the force. What does the minus sign indicate? The minus sign indicates that the force between the bodies is decreasing. The minus sign indicates that as the distance between the bodies increases, the magnitude of the force increases. The minus sign indicates that as the distance between the bodies decreases, the magnitude of the…

Consider a human who weighs 862 N on Earth. What is the person's mass on Earth? And what is the same person's mass on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.7 m/s2?
The International Space Station (ISS) orbits the Earth at an altitude (distance above the surface of the Earth) of 408 km, conducting various experiments in a "weightless" environment. Consider the force(s) acting on the ISS and write a simplified equation relating its force(s) to speed. Air resistance is negligible. (HINT: The centripetal force is equal to the net inward force on an object. You are being asked to write an equation to find speed.)
