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.
