What was galileo’s contribution to the study of motion?

a.) he developed the three laws of motion.

b.) he was the first to systematically study force and motion.

c.) he was the first to discover gravity.

d.) he improved on newton’s laws.

Before giving you the answer straight away, I’d like to make sure you understand each option.

FIRST OPTION

“He developed the three laws of motion."

This option is not only the incorrect answer, but it is an incorrect statement. Galileo did not develop the three laws of motion. Isaac Newton was the one to compiled the three laws of motion.

SECOND OPTION

“He was the first to systematically study force and motion."

This option is a statement is true, and it could also be the correct answer. Galileo Galilei used experiments to search for the cause of motion.

THIRD OPTION

“He was the first to discover gravity."

This option is not only the incorrect answer, but it is an incorrect statement. Galileo was not the person to discover gravity. Sir Isaac Newton was the first to discover gravity.

FINAL OPTION

“He improved on Newton's laws."

This option is not only the incorrect answer, but it is an incorrect statement. Galilei did not improve Sir Isaac Newton’s laws.

Now that we’ve gone through each of the options individually, we can go ahead and determine the correct answer to the question, which is...

B ) He was the first to systematically study force and motion.

Option B

Explanation: Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642) was an Italian physicist, mathematician, engineer, and philosopher that is mainly known for the telescope and the heliocentrism.

One of the first things Galileo contributed to science was on forces and motion. Because of his mathematic formation, he had a very systematic and logic approach to the science and laws of nature, so his studies where advanced for the time.

The right answer here would be option B: "He was the first to systematically study force and motion."

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
