impeto

Vinci continued to meditate on the properties of impetus, which he called impeto or forza, and the propositions that he formulated on the subject of this power very often showed a fairly clear discernment of the law of the conservation of energy.

Galileo's impeto and to Newton's “quantity of motion.”

Dictionary of the History of Ideas WILLIAM A. WALLACE 1968

If a heavy body moved by an impeto that would make it describe a circle concentric with the Earth is, moreover, free to fall, the impeto of uniform rotation and gravity are component forces.

A body which, without friction or resistance of any kind, would describe the circumference of a circle concentric with the Earth would retain an invariable impeto or momento, as gravity would in no wise tend to increase or destroy this impeto: this principle which belonged to the dynamics of Buridan and Albert of Saxony, was acknowledged by Galileo.

In statics he identified this momentum with what Galileo called momento or impeto, and this identification was certainly conformable to the Pisan's idea.

Imbued with ideas that were still intensely Peripatetic, it introduced the consideration of a certain impeto or momento, proportional to the velocity of the moving body and not unlike the impetus of the Parisians.

The defense is central to the novel by Milan and Bonera Senderos, immediately press the Lazio, in the first five minutes of the assault impeto creating a couple of dangerous mixtures and gaining its corner, the Milan brings out the nose from his area to 6 ° with an incursion deep Jankulovski that occurs before Muslera which is a good foil in the corner.

Over a small extent the motion produced by this impeto may be assumed to be rectilinear, horizontal, and uniform; hence the approximate law may be enunciated as follows: a heavy body, to which a horizontal initial velocity has been imparted at the very moment that it is abandoned to the action of gravity, assumes a motion which is sensibly the combination of a uniform horizontal motion with the vertical motion that it would assume without initial velocity.

He recovered the late medieval theory of impetus, tracing it from John Philoponus 'criticism of Aristotle to its mature statements in the fourteenth century works of John Buridan and Nicole Oresme: “The role that impetus played in Buridan's dynamics is exactly the one that Galileo attributed to impeto or momento, Descartes to ˜quantity of motion,™ and Leibniz finally to vis viva.
