How did Aristotle's and Galileo's theories of motion differed from each other?
And how did Galileo's theory differ from Aristotle's?
Galileo believed that objects would stay at rest if there was no force acting upon them, which was a departure from Aristotle's belief in a natural state of rest or motion. He also discovered that objects accelerate as they fall, which directly contradicted Aristotle's idea that heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones.
