1. Galileo´s and Newton´s Contribution

1.1. Galileo´s: 1. Falling bodies 2. Geometric and Military Compass 3. An improved telescope 4. The case for heliocentrism

1.2. Newton´s: 1. Developed calculus 2. Showed the composition of light 3. First to construct a telescope with a curved mirror 4. Laws of Motion

2. Motion

2.1. Change in position of an object over time.

3. Reference System

3.1. consists of an abstract coordinate system and the set of physical reference points that uniquely fix the coordinate system and standardize measurements.

4. Trajectory

4.1. Is the path that a moving object follows through space as a function of time.

5. Mechanics

5.1. Area of science concerned with the behaviour of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effects of the bodies on their environment.

5.2. Kinetics

5.2.1. Branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the relationship between motion and its causes, specifically, forces and torques.

6. Particle model

6.1. There are four main ideas in the particle model: 1. All matter is made up of tiny particles. 2. The particles of matter are always moving. 3. The particles have spaces between them. 4. Adding heat to matter makes the particles move faster.

7. Distance

7.1. Numerical description of how far apart objects are.

8. Displacement

8.1. Is a vector whose length is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position of a point P.
