The History behind Velocity (Monday, November 21, 2016)

Before we discuss the history of velocity, we must first talk about the beginning of motion and physics. Many people believe Newton invented physics and motion, but Newton only invented gravity. It was instead a man named Aristotle who invented physics and later created motion. No one knows how Aristotle invented physics, but they do know it involved a watermelon, a loaf of banana bread, a box of tissues, 3 toy tractors, a legendary baseball, 8 jugs of 2% skim milk, 4 dark white chocolate cookies, and his pet hamster. Somehow the formula v=-gt+vo showed up in a math book a year later and it became a formula to satisfy motion. As for velocity, a man name Galileo figured out how to create velocity using Newton's exclusive gravity and Aristotle's legendary motion. Galileo dropped 100 pounds of milk chocolate bars off the Leaning Tower of Pisa and discovered that it went at a constant acceleration. After Galileo discovered acceleration, Newton stole his idea and wrote a book called F=ma, The Legend Behind the Rate of Change of Velocity.
