Digression on the Reason Why a Magnet Attracts Iron
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased From the theory thus presented on why and how heavy bodies fall, not only a new but perhaps an appropriate explanation of…
All Solid Bodies Are Not Absolutely Hard but They Are Either Fluent or Soft or Elastic
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased The wonderful qualities of percussion, which must be explained and demonstrated at the end, require the structure of solid bodies to be…
The Force of the Impetus of Falling Heavy Bodies Is Smaller than Any Impulsive Force Impressed by a Projectile
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased Even if the fall of heavy bodies results from blows and impulses delivered by the inner motive virtue of the heavy body…
How Can an Accelerated Movement Be Generated
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased From that which was explained above, it appears that an accelerated movement is generated by a gradually increasing impetus. The flow of…
Projectiles After Being Separated from Their Impeller Are Not Moved Forwards by the Fluid Environment in Which They Are
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased As mentioned above, it is obvious that some bodies are moved by an external and separate motor. One usually searches for what…
Moving Bodies Are Urged at an Uniform Velocity Never to Be Annihilated
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased We demonstrated that not all bodies are moved by a distinct and separate motor. But finally we must consider the moving subject…
Why Opposite Movements Annihilate Each Other and Renew Themselves in Elastic and Resilient Bodies
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased From what was said above it is clear that two bodies colliding in opposite movements sometimes lose their impetus completely and are…
On the Flow of Impetus and on Its Magnitude
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased Hitherto we discussed the impetus of a projected body in general and on its qualities. Now the impetus resulting from an internal…
How an Impetus Impressed in Elastic Bodies is Slowed Down and Extinguished
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased Anybody who discerns the genius of nature which always carries out similar operations similarly in the simplest and easiest way and does…
On the Rebound Which Follows the Percussion of Bodies
(1) Mathematics in Naples, Naples, Italy Deceased Some people think that the rebound which we observe is different from the movement of incidence of the same body. Some rebounds…
