How did early Greek philosophers describe motions in the sky?
The Greeks had 3 basic theories for the sky
1. All heavenly bodies spheres that move in circles
2. Heavens unchangeable
3. Earth stationary at center of universe
Most Greeks in B.C. times believed in the geocentric model.

Aristotle (300 B. C.): Earth at the center of the universe originated with Aristotle and persisted for 2000 years!
Ptolemy (150 A. D.): The “epicycle” model was developed to explain retrograde motion.

Tycho Brahe: Designed and utilized new instruments for measuring precise angles in the sky. (late 1500’s)
Although Tycho Brahe believed in a geocentric system, his measurements were later used to provide proof for the heliocentric system.
![Page 9: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What are Kepler’s Laws?
Kepler: Used Tycho Brahe’s observations and measurements of planetary positions to develop three laws of planetary motion. (early 1600’s)
Kepler’s 1st Law: Ellipses
Planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus.
![Page 10: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Kepler’s 2nd Law: Equal Areas
Planets sweep out equal areas of space in equal time intervals.
![Page 11: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Kepler’s 3rd Law: P2 = a3
The orbital period of a planet is related to the semi-major axis of it’s orbit.
Orbital Period Squared = Semi-major Axis Cubed
![Page 12: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Average speed is the amount of distance traveled in some amount of time. (65 mph)
Velocity is speed in a particular direction. (65 mph South)
s = d t
![Page 18: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Acceleration is the change of velocity in some amount of time.
Change in speed or direction (Corners)
All objects on Earth have the same acceleration, downward.
9.81 m/s2
![Page 20: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Practice
1) Is the acceleration due to gravity greater on a book or a feather?
2) If the Moon maintains an average orbital speed of 1,023 m/s, does the moon experience acceleration?
![Page 21: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What are Newton’s Laws of Motion?
Newton’s 1st Law: Inertia
An object will remain at rest or maintain a constant velocity unless an unbalanced force causes the object’s motion to change.
Inertia is the tendency of an object to maintain its motion.
![Page 23: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Mass is the amount of material contained in an object.
more mass more inertia
harder to change motion
Average Person 73 kg
Earth 5.972 x 1024 kg
Sun 1.989 x 1030 kg
![Page 24: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Practice
1) Mass is often defined in elementary school as “the amount of space an object takes up”. Why is this not correct?
2) Would your mass be different if you were on the moon right now?
![Page 25: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion: F = ma
An unbalanced force acting on a mass gives the mass an acceleration in the same direction as the unbalanced force.
![Page 26: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Weight
Weight is a force; it is the gravitational force acting on a mass.
http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/weight/index.html
W = mg
Person on Earth 73 kg 716 Newtons 161 lbs
Person on Mars 73 kg 270 Newtons 61 lbs

What is Gravity?
Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation:
Every object with mass attracts every other object with mass with a force.
F = GMm d2
Gravity is a property of mass
![Page 30: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Mutual Force of Attraction
Both masses pull the same on each other!
![Page 31: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Inverse Square Law
Force decreases with the square of the distance.
![Page 32: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Practice
1) Is the gravitational force zero in space?
2) If Earth had twice as much mass, would this change your weight? Would it change your mass?
3) If the distance changes between two objects, does the acceleration due to gravity change?
![Page 34: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
![Page 35: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
According to EinsteinEvery object with
mass creates a curvature of space-time.
According to Einstein, mass does not create a force, but rather a warping of space which other objects follow.
Objects (heavy and light) will follow the same path in curved space-time.
![Page 36: Developing the Science of Astronomy (Chapter 4). Student Learning Objectives Compare ancient and modern theories of the solar system Apply Kepler’s Laws.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070413/5697bfa71a28abf838c98b6d/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
A black hole is an object that creates an extreme curvature of space.
More Mass = More Curvature
