A) They agree that physics books can make you crazy and it's best not to think about them.
B) Both of them say that this is just the natural motion of the book.
C) Both of them say the force of friction slows it to a stop.
D) Aristotle says this is just the natural motion of the book, but Galileo says the force of friction slows it to a stop.
E) Aristotle says the force of friction slows it to a stop, but Galileo says this is just the natural motion of the book.
