Concept explainers
Who was the first to consider the role of inertia, Galileo or Newton?
Out of Galileo or Newton, the first one to consider the role of inertia.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Galileo stated that to keep object moving, friction is necessary. Galileo showed that how things move rather than why they move. Newton stated the law of inertia later.
Galileo by experiment, stated the idea of inertia. He stated tendency of a moving object was to remain in moving state. Moving objects resist change to its state of motion.
Conclusion:
Galileo first considered the role of inertia before Newton.
