Twe experiments extend the investigation on the existence of a range of speeds perceived as “right” to include uniform rectilinear motion. Bozzi (1958, 1959,1990) previously worked on this area studying pendulum oscillation, trajectories of projectiles and objects moving down inclined planes (1958, 1959, 1990). Our results confirmed the existence of different ranges of speeds perceived respectively as "slow", "right" and "fast" and proved that the "right" speed does not coincide with what one would expect using a simple bisection of the extremes “fast” and “slow”.

Abstract
Twe experiments extend the investigation on the existence of a range of speeds perceived as “right” to include uniform rectilinear motion. Bozzi (1958, 1959,1990) previously worked on this area studying pendulum oscillation, trajectories of projectiles and objects moving down inclined planes (1958, 1959, 1990). Our results confirmed the existence of different ranges of speeds perceived respectively as "slow", "right" and "fast" and proved that the "right" speed does not coincide with what one would expect using a simple bisection of the extremes “fast” and “slow”.File in questo prodotto:
