Answer to Problem 8RQ
Amongst Aristotle and Galileo Galilei, Galileo Galilei relied on experiments.
Explanation of Solution
Aristotle was an ancient philosopher who contributed to various concepts based on physics, ethics, criticism, logic and other various subjects. Aristotle relied solely on logic and explained any phenomenon using logic. He used ideas and observations to express his view on any kind topic. Aristotle didn’t rely on the experimental approach because, during the ancient time, there were no tools, apparatus or resources to conduct an experiment.
Galileo Galilei is an Italian scientist who has made important contributions to the field of physics as well as astronomy. Galileo used to prefer an experimental approach to explain any kind of phenomenon. The arguments of Galileo are totally based on experiment and through his experiment he has proved many theories. Galileo is the one who relied on experiments.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the scientist Galileo Galilei relied on experiments.
