Answer :
Sure, here's a comparison table between Newton's first law and Galileo's assertions regarding force and motion:
| Aspect | Newton's First Law | Galileo's Assertions |
|-----------------|------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------|
| Inertia | An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. | Objects resist changes in motion. |
| Force | Force is required to change the state of motion of an object. | Force is necessary to overcome inertia. |
| Body at Rest | Objects at rest tend to stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force. | Objects at rest tend to remain at rest. |
| Body at Motion | Objects in motion tend to stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an external force. | Objects in motion tend to remain in motion. |
Newton's first law provides a formalized statement about inertia and the necessity of force to change the state of motion of an object, while Galileo's assertions offer a more qualitative description of how objects behave regarding motion and inertia.
