人类是如何认识惯性的,惯性定律为什么是牛顿第一定律的别称,而不是伽利略或笛卡儿所发现的?本文以史实为依据,对这一问题作初步阐述。古希腊的哲学家亚里士多德(公元前384—322年)在他所著《物理学》一书中认为:机械运动有自然运动和强迫运动,如马拉车行驶,奴隶曳船行驶,这些运动必须有推动者,即运动必须有外力维持,否则就归于静止,他认为“一切运动的物体必定受某物的驱动”,千百年来人们都相信亚里士多德的说法:外力是物体产生并维持运动的原因,亚里士多德根据对现象的观察、直觉推理方
How does humanity recognize inertia, and why is the law of inertia the other name for Newton’s first law, not Galileo or Descartes? This paper, based on historical facts, elaborates on this issue. The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC) stated in his book “Physics” that mechanical movements have natural movements and forced movements such as horse-drawn carriages and slaves hauling ships. The movement must have facilitators, that is, the movement must be sustained by external forces. Otherwise, it will remain static. He believes that “all moving objects must be driven by something.” For thousands of years people believed in Aristotle’s statement that external force is The reason why an object generates and sustains movement, Aristotle based on observations of phenomena, intuitive reasoning
