Empirical models vs. Theoretical models Models for a falling object –Aristotle (Greece, 384 BC – 322 BC) –Galileo (Italy, 1564 – 1642) –Newton (England, 1643 – 1727) –Leibniz (Germany, 1646 –1716) Models for colliding objects –Descartes (France, ) –Huygens (Deutschland, 1629 – 1695) –Newton (England, 1643 – 1727) Prediction based on models Empirical Models: Fitting a Line to Experimental Data pool ball golf ball

EG 10111/10112 Introduction to Engineering Copyright © 2009 University of Notre Dame From last class Given 2 pendulums with different masses, initially at rest –Say, a golf ball and a pool ball Would you be willing to bet that you could figure out where to release the larger ball in order to knock the smaller ball to a given height? How could you improve your chances? pool ball golf ball Empirical Models: Fitting a Line to Experimental Data
