before the rise of modern science, people thought that an object traveling through the air (a thrown ball, for example) continues moving because the air behind it pushes along, based on what you know about inertia, Explain why this idea is incorrect.
@lilirose,
Because the air pushing it along is less than the resistance of the air it's pushing along in front of it.
PS: I doubt anyone ever believed that story.
@lilirose,
Hey at least you own it...
