What is the shape of the Earth as described by the Early Greeks?
The apparent daily motion of stars and other celestial bodies across the sky caused by Earth’srotations about its axis is called ________.
Which of the following statements is/are TRUE about early astronomical phenomena? Statement I - The sun and moon are the most observable objects in the sky. Statement II - Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn can be easily seen in the sky with the help of a telescope.
Any theory of the solar system's structure (or the universe) in which Earth is assumed to be at the center of it all.
All of the following belong to the Terrestrial Domain, EXCEPT.
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.
He compiled extensive data on the planet Mars, which would later prove crucial to Kepler in his formulation of the laws of planetary motion.
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.
The law states that the orbit of each planet around the sun is an ellipse with the sun at one focus.
Which of the following was discovered by Kepler with the use of Brahe’s extensive collection of data in observational astronomy?
What is the straight-line motion caused by the gravitational pull of the earth?
Which of the following statements is/are CORRECTabout Tycho Brahe?
Which of the following is an example of natural motion according to Aristotle?
On the Earth's Moon
Evaluate the following statement: The more mass an object has, the faster it will fall.
What did Galileo prove to be the same in all falling objects?
Which of the following is TRUE about Kepler’sThird Law?
Three objects A, B, and C with masses 5 kg, 8 kg, and 15 kg, respectively, were dropped simultaneously. Neglecting air resistance, which object will reach the ground FIRST?
According to Galileo, force is needed for what?
Why do a coconut and a bird feather falling from a tree through the air to the ground below gain speed?
A ball rolling along a horizontal surface maintains a constant speed. Why is it so?
Which of the following is true about acceleration due to gravity?
How does the acceleration of a stone thrown upward compare to the one thrown downward?
What will happen to an object if no external forces act on it?
Mass is measured in kilograms, which is a measure of
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Sunburn can be likely caused by __________.
He proposed the wave theory of light.
He proposed that light was a mechanical property of a luminous object and a transmitting medium.
Where did Huygens compare light?
These are waves that propagate in a vacuum and examples of these are visible light, microwaves, radio waves, and infrared.
These are the waves that need a medium to propagate.
The number of waves it produces in each amount of time.
It occurs when light encounters a surface and bounces back in the opposite direction.
The wave model of light where light waves pass through two different mediums; will experience bending.
I. Rene Descartes compared light with sound waves. II. He also believes that light was a mechanical property of a luminous object and a transmitting medium.
Which explains why the fork looks different underwater?
A refraction may cause your image in water to look.
A hypothetical substance through which electromagnetic waves travel.
It explains the Light rays as the direction of the travel of the wave.
The mass of an object is dependent upon the value of the acceleration of gravity.
The only way to slow down a moving object is to apply a force to it.
Kepler determined the shape of each planet's orbit by triangulation from different points on Earth's orbit, using observations made at many different times of the year.
The Ptolemaic model is completely successful in predicting the positions of the planets.
Kepler concluded that the orbit of Mars was circular, not elliptical.
The location when Mars or any other planet closest to the sun is called perihelion.
Kepler found that Mars changed speed as it orbited around the sun, faster when closer to the sun, and slower when farther from the sun.
The third law of planetary motion is also known as the “Prime Mover”.
Astronauts feel weightless because there is no gravity in space.
Upon comparing the orbits of the planets, Kepler found that the square of the period of revolution of a planet around the Sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance of the planet from the Sun.
