Change
Wikipedia
- Aristotle thought in terms of change not merely motion. I think motion was only a type of change.
- Motion and change are closely related in Aristotelian physics. Motion, according to Aristotle, involved a change from potentiality to actuality.[15] He gave example of four types of change, namely change in substance, in quality, in quantity and in place.
- Aristotle’s laws of motion. In Physics he states that objects fall at a speed proportional to their weight and inversely proportional to the density of the fluid they are immersed in. This is a correct approximation for objects in Earth’s gravitational field moving in air or water.[3]
