4.1 INTRODUCTION; 4.2 ARISTOTLE’S FALLACY
Objects at rest need external force to start Initiating motion (kicking a ball, throwing a stone) requires

Stopping a moving object requires external force. Applying force against its motion halts the object (e.g.,

4.3 THE LAW OF INERTIA
Objects in motion stay in motion with constant Galileo's inclined plane experiments show this - motion

Objects at rest stay at rest absent external forces. Inertia applies to both motion and rest - zero net force

Inertia is an object's tendency to resist changes Explains why a moving object keeps moving and a

Aristotle believed constant external force is This contradicts inertia - objects in motion can maintain

Friction opposes inertia, slowing and eventually Friction creates a net opposing force, gradually reducing

A stationary object remains at rest due to inertia. Inertia prevents motion change (staying at rest) without an

A moving object maintains constant velocity due Inertia prevents motion change (maintaining constant

Momentum captures the combined effect of an It's the product of mass (inertia) and speed, influencing

A more massive object requires a greater net Mass is a measure of inertia, an object's resistance to
