SOLUTION
⫸ Copernicus. Ans: Polish astronomer who produced a workable
model of the solar system with the sun in the center (1473-1543),
heliocentric theory
⫸ Tycho Brahe. Ans: Influenced by Copernicus; Built observatory
and collected data on the locations of stars and planets for over 20
years; His limited knowledge of mathematics prevented him from
making much sense out of the data.
⫸ Johannes Kepler. Ans: Assistant to Brahe; used Brahe's data to
prove that the earth moved in an elliptical, not circular, orbit; Wrote 3
laws of planetary motion based on mechanical relationships and
accurately predicted movements of planets in a sun-centered universe;
Demolished old systems of Aristotle and Ptolemy
⫸ 3 Laws of Planetary Motion. Ans: 1.) Orbits eliptical 2.) Planets
don't move at a uniform speed 3.) The time it takes to orbit the sun is
proportional to the distance form the sun; written by Kepler
⫸ Galileo. Ans: Italian astronomer and mathematician who was the
first to use a telescope to study the stars; demonstrated that different
, weights descend at the same rate; perfected the refracting telescope
that enabled him to make many discoveries (1564-1642)
⫸ Laws of Motion. Ans: Planets have eliptical orbits; a planets orbit
gets faster the closer it is to the sun; there is a mathemetic equation
for a planets distance from the sun and the time it takes to orbit;
established by Newton
⫸ Telescope. Ans: a device built to observe distant objects by
making them appear closer
⫸ Francis Bacon. Ans: (1561-1626) English politician, writer.
Formalized the empirical method. Novum Organum. Inductive
reasoning.
⫸ Empiricism. Ans: medical practice and advice based on
observation and experience in ignorance of scientific findings
⫸ Inductive Method. Ans: Francis Bacon's reasoning by
experiments, mathematics, and observation
⫸ Rene Descartes. Ans: This French mathematical genius said that
one should apply logic and try to answer problems with mathematical
equations
