Vertical Motion & Horizontal Motion

Aristotle's Theory of Motion

Forced Motion is non-natural ( result in removal ob object from its

natural place. Is influenced by two factors: motive

force (F), and resistance of medium ( R)

Aristotle's "Law of Motion" V is proportional to F/R

Galileo's Theory of Motion

Distance traversed is proportional to time of travel because Uniform

Motion is undetectable under certain conditions.

Projectile Motion:

Aristotle: What maintains motion of projectile after it's left the thrower's

hand is that initial motive force transfers to the medium

initially surrounding the object a "power" to act as a motive

force. Medium then forces object into new region, which is

then imparted with the "power" to act.

Galileo: A projectile which is carried by a uniform horizontal motion

compounded with a naturally accelerated vertical motion

describes a path which is a semi-parabola.

1. Shells

As you may have guessed by the curve in the box example above, shells follow the progressive
proportional increase of the Fibonacci Sequence. Shells are probably the most famous example of the
sequence because the lines are very clean and clear to see. They are also fun to collect and display. And
then, there you have it! You're own little piece of math.

3. Flower Pistils

The part of the flower in the middle of the petals (the pistil) follows the Fibonacci Sequence much more
intensely than other pieces of nature, but the result is an incredible piece of art. The pattern formed by
the curve the sequence creates used repeatedly produces a lovely and intricate design.

4. Flower Petals

Flowers of all kinds follow the pattern, but roses are my favorite kind to use as an example of the
Fibonacci Sequence. I like it because the petals aren't spread out and the spiral is more obvious and
clear, like with the shell. The petals unfold more and more and the sequence increases. Roses are
beautiful (and so is math).

5. Leaves

Leaves follow Fibonacci both when growing off branches and stems and in their veins. I, personally, find
the veins much more interesting and amazing to look at. Similar to a tree, leaf veins branch off more and
more in the outward proportional increments of the Fibonacci Sequence.

6. Storms

Specifically hurricanes and tornadoes, many storm systems follow the Fibonacci Sequence. I suppose
this is not beautiful, but more interesting. On a map, at least, hurricanes look cool. I guess we could say
this example proves math can be beautiful and destructive.

7. You!

Yes! You are an example of the beauty of the Fibonacci Sequence. The human body has various
representations of the Fibonacci Sequence proportions, from your face to your ear to your hands and
beyond! You have now been proven to be mathematically gorgeous, so go forth and be beautiful! ...and
maybe think math is a little bit better than you first thought?
