After reading the brief summary of the newtonian worldview and dewitt's concluding remarks, identify an aristotelian belief that than the newtonian one. (if you find this difficult, pretend you are someone less wise.) explain why this is so.

Given: Heat given to mercury (Q) = 100 J

Mass of mercury (m) = 80 g = 80 × 10⁻³ kg

Specific Heat capacity of mercury (c) = 138 J/kg°C

Let the rise of temperature be Δt

Formula Used:   Q = mcΔt

Here, all alphabets are in their usual meanings.

Calculation:

                          Q = mcΔt

or,                     Δt = Q / mc

or,                     Δt = 100 J /[(80 × 10⁻³ kg)×(138 J/kg°C)]

or,                     Δt = 9.058 °C

or,                     Δt = 9.1 °C

Hence, the required increase in temperature will be 9.1 °C.
