What is natural motion?
The object will move and will return to its natural state based on on object's natural material or composition - earth, water, air, and fire.
Differentiate Aristotle and Galileo views of vertical motion (Weight).
Aristotle says that the heavier things are, the quicker they will fall, whereas Galileo different masses thrown at the same time and height will reach the ground at the same time in the absence of air resistance.
