A

Norbert Elias

22
Q

According to the Coperncian theory, motions of heavenly bodies are:

A

the same, eternal, are in epicylces

23
Q

The bodies that surround the Sun:

A

Mercury, Venus, Earth and Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and fixed stars

24
Q

Three motions of the Earth:

A

Annual revolution, tilting of its axis, and daily rotation

25
Q

Motion of the planets that can be explained by the Earth’s motion

A

Retrograde motion

26
Q

Medieval astronomer and mathematician; believed in the Geocentric view

A

Claudius Ptolemy

27
Q

A major work about the geocentric model published by Ptolemy

A

The Almagest

28
Q

Greek astronomer and mathematician; believed in the heliocentric view

A

Aristarchus of Samos

29
Q

Renaissance astronomer and mathematician; believed in the heliocentric view

A

Nicolaus Copernicus

30
Q

Major work of Nicolaus Copernicus

A

De Revolutionibus orbium coelestium - On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres

31
Q

Two types of matter under the geocentric view

A

Earthly matter, metaphysical matter (unearthly matter)

32
Q

Composed of earth, air, water, and fire prone to changes and deterioration

A

Earthly matter

33
Q

Celestial bodies that are moving around the earth

A

Metaphysical matter

34
Q

Characterized by all matters as one; “The physics of the universe is now the physics of earth” and vice versa

A

Heliocentric view

35
Q

A German astronomer who was known for discovering the three laws of planetary motions

A

Johannes Kepler

36
Q

A Danish astronomer whom Kepler based his astronomical data to formulate and verify his laws

A

Tycho Brahe

37
Q

To whom Kepler assumed Tycho’s position as imperial mathematician and astronomer

A

Roman Emperor, Rudolf II

38
Q

The three laws of planetary motion:

A

The Laws of Orbits, the Law of Equal Areas, the Law of Periods

39
Q

The first law of planetary motion states that the planets orbit the sun in elliptical paths, with the Sun as one focus of the ellipse.

A

The Law of Orbits

40
Q

The second law states that areas covered by the planets are the same at equal intervals,

A

The Law of Equal Areas

41
Q

Kepler’s third law states that the ratio of the cube of a planet’s mean distance (d) from the sun to the square of the orbital period (t) is a constant (d^3/t^2).

A

The Law of Periods

42
Q

An Italian physicist and astronomer known as the “father of modern science”

A

Galileo Galilei

43
Q

Where his observations of the cosmos where listed

A

The Starry Messenger

44
Q

Observations found that are in The Starry Messenger

A

Sun spots, “mountains and valleys” in the moon, phases of Venus, satelites of Jupiter

45
Q

How motion occurs without defining the forces that control them

A

Kinematics

46
Q

Time-squared law; shows that a distance travelled in free fall is proportional to he squared of the time it takes to travel

A

Law of falling bodies

47
Q

Projectiles are composed of two independent motions: vertical and horizontal components. The horizontal component (uniform motion), vertical (uniformly accelerated motion)

A

Motions of projectiles

48
Q

Galileo believed that an object moving in a uniform motion on Earth’s surface would continue to move without any force to keep it going, given that the object does not meet any resistance.

A

Inertia

49
Q

They initiated the scientific revolution.

A

Galilei and Kepler
