Copernicus's heliocentric model and Ptolemy's geocentric model were each developed to provide a description of thesolar system. Both models had advantages that made each an acceptable explanation for motions in the solar systemduring their time.Sort each statement according to whether it is an advantage of the heliocentric model, the geocentric model, or both.Select the appropriate items to their respective bins.HeliocentricRooted in widely accepted religiousbeliefs regarding Earth's place in theuniverseExplained planetary motions andbrightness changes most simplyPredicted planetary positionsaccurately over relatively short timeperiodsPlanetary orbits and motions based onGreek ideologies of perfect form andmotionGeocentricBoth geocentric and heliocentric

Kepler's 1st law says that our Solar System's planets orbit in ellipses around the Sun where the closest distance to the Sun is called perihelion. Suppose I tell you that there is a planet with a perihelion distance of 2 AU and a semi-major axis of 1.5 AU. Does this make physical sense? Explain why or why not.
Describe the retrograde motion of mars and how it was explained in terms of both a heliocentric and geocentric model of the solar system. Key terms to be included: relative velocitys of earth and mars, background stars and epicycles
Which of the following was NOT done by Galileo Galilei? A. discovering four large moons around Jupiter B. turning the telescope to the sky and believing what it showed his eyes C. explaining retrograde motion with the heliocentric hypothesis D. resolving the Milky Way into many, many stars E. discovering that Venus goes through phases (like the Moon)
Use the diagram and the fact that Planet A has a nearly circular orbit while Planet B has a highly elliptical orbit to answer the following questions. Use examples of Newton’s and Kepler’s laws in your answers. a. Does Planet B travel faster or slower when it is closest to the Sun than at other times? Explain your answer. b. Which planet takes longer to orbit the Sun? Explain your answer. c. Does the gravitational attraction between these planets increase or decrease as their orbits move them closer together? Explain your answer. d. Which planet has the highest average orbital speed? Explain your answer. e. Which planet travels at about the same speed throughout its orbit? Explain your answer.
Write your name and date. The due date of this assignment is the height the ax head falls from in meters into the water. For example, if the due date is July 15, then the ax head fell 15 meters to the water. Write Newton’s 2nd Law in Equation Form. Write the quantity and units of average gravitational acceleration on the surface of Earth. Given the ax head mentioned in the opening portion with the height being equal in numerical value of the due day of this assignment. How long does it take for the ax to fall to the river surface? Compute the final speed of the ax when it hits the water.
