Aristotle said that the quickness of a falling object varies inversely with the density of the medium through which it falls. (a) According to Aristotle, would a rock fall faster in water (density 1000 kg/m3), or in air (density 1 kg/m3)? air water?

Respuesta :

Answer:

rock will fall faster in air

Explanation:

We have given the density of water [tex]d=1000kg/m^3[/tex]

Density of air [tex]d=1kg/m^3[/tex]

Now according to Aristotle the falling of object inversely proportional to the density of the medium

[tex]rate\ of\ falling\ \propto\frac{1}{density}[/tex]

So the rock will fall faster in air as the density of air is low as compared to the density of water.
