Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- Galileo presented strong evidence against the geocentric theory and in favor of the heliocentric theory. Describe three important observations he made with his telescope.What was so significant about Tycho Brahe's observations of the position of the planets that enabled Kepler to eventually come up with his theory that planets orbit the Sun in ellipses rather than circles? If Kepler did not have access to Tycho's data, do you think he would have came up with the same theory, or do you think he would have preferred either the Copernican or Ptolemaic theory?In the Tsiolkovsky's equation, what is delta V referring to. If a rocket has a delta V of 2km/s in a orbit, does that mean it has a speed of 2km/s or it requires 2km/s to increase its radius of orbit. Thanks
- The geocentric model, in all of its complexity, survived scientific scrutiny for almost 1,400 years. However, in modern astronomy, scientists seek to explain the natural and physical world we live in as simply as possible. The complexity of Ptolemy's model was an indicator that his theory was inherently flawed. Why, then, was the geocentric model the leading theory for such a long time, even though the heliocentric model more simply explained the observed motions and brightness of the planets? Check all that apply. ☐ The geocentric model conformed to both the philosophical and religious doctrines of the time. ☐ The heliocentric model did not make noticeably better predictions than the geocentric model. From Earth, all heavenly bodies appeared to circle around a stationary Earth. The complexity of the geocentric model was appealing to most ancient astronomers. Ancient astronomers did not observe stellar parallax, which would have provided evidence in favor of the heliocentric model.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.What is Keplers second law in your own words
- Kepler's Third Law means that all orbits with the same semi-major axis have the same period. How can it take the same amount of time to travel each of these paths when the lengths of the paths are so different?Show mathematically how Kepler’s third law can be derived from Newton’s law of universal gravitation. Hint: use the centripetal force (force directed towards the center) which is equal to the gravitational force in orbital motion.Suppose the Sun's orbital speed were 440 km/s. What would be the Sun's orbital period?
