60s - Q6
He considered the sun as the stationary center of the universe. He classified Earth as a planet just like Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.
Nicolaus Copernicus
Plato
Claudius Ptolemy
Galileo Galilei
60s - Q7
He compiled extensive data on the planet Mars, which would later prove crucial to Kepler in his formulation of the laws of planetary motion.
Galileo Galilei
Nicolaus Copernicus
Tycho Brahe
Isaac Newton
60s - Q8
The principle is that, as a planet moves around its orbit, it sweeps out equal areas at equal times. This tells us that a planet moves faster when it is closer to the sun than when it is farther from the sun in its orbit.
Kepler’s Second Law
Kepler’s laws of planetary motion
Kepler’s Third Law
Kepler’s First Law
60s - Q9
The law states that the orbit of each planet around the sun is an ellipse with the sun at one focus.
Kepler’s First Law
Kepler’s laws of planetary motion
Kepler’s Second Law
Kepler’s Third Law
60s - Q10
Which of the following was discovered by Kepler with the use of Brahe’s extensive collection of data in observational astronomy?
Law of Motion
Law of Acceleration
Law of Planetary Motion
Law of Relativity
60s - Q11
What is the straight-line motion caused by the gravitational pull of the earth?
horizontal motion
law of motion
free fall motion
projectile motion
60s - Q12
Which of the following statements is/are CORRECTabout Tycho Brahe?
He determined the detailed motions of the planets more precisely.
All of the above
He compiled extensive data on the planet Mars.
He devised the most precise instruments available for observing the heavens before the telescope's invention.
60s - Q13
Which of the following is an example of natural motion according to Aristotle?
A pushed troll
A pulled bag
A smoke rises
A kicked soccer balls
60s - Q14
