31
brahe model
geoheliocentric
32
Earth is the center of the universe/solar system  All other celestial bodies including sun revolves around it.
ptolemic model
33
Proposed by Nicolaus Copernicus  Sun is the center  All other bodies including earth revolves ar
copernician model
34
tych brahe  2 centers: (1) The earth – sun and moon revolves around it  (2) the sun – all remaining planets revolved around it.
Brahe model
35
changes in location of object
motion
36
push or pull
force
37
force that pulls object towards the center/ground
gravity
38
changes in speed/velocity
acceleration
39
distance traveled over period of time
speed
40
a type of friction that occurs when air pushes an object causing it to decelerate
air resistance
41
– resistance of medium in response to movement (resistance to motion)
inertia
42
resistance to stopping
momentum
43
If there is unbalanced (not constant) force, there will be unequal or not constant movement. For example
 A car accelerating  Swing moving back and forth  A can rolling down
44
"every object has proper place on the universe”
aristorlean view in motion
45
verticalmotion  Straight up or straight down  With the effect of gravity  Heavier objects will fall while lighter objects will rise  The speed/ rate of fall is dependent on the object’s size, mass, shape etc
natural motion (vertical)
46
 Forward/backward  Movement as a result of push or pull (force)
violent motion- horizontal motion
47
newton law of motion
1st-law of inertia 2nd- law of acceleration 3rd-law of onteraction
48
A body at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force
1st law of inertia
49
 Acceleration is directly proportional to force  Acceleration is inversely proportional to mass.  F=ma
law of acceleration
50
 For every action, there is equal and opposite reaction.
law of interaction
51
 Resistance to stopping  Product of mass and velocity  Standard unit is kg m/s  Heavier objects are harder to stop than lighter ones.
momentum
52
combination of vertical and horizontal motion.
projectile motion
53
the object will continue in motion if unimpeded. Or unless there is force or friction that causes it to stop moving. He also introduced momentum.
horizontal motion
54
it will not fall depending on the mass, size and shape of object. But rather, on the distance and time of fall.  According to him, in absence of air resistance, two objects regardless of size and shape will drop at the ground the same time.  Objects near the ground will speed up.  In free fall, bodies will fall at constant acceleration.
vertical motion
55
when did eratosthenes measured the circumference and what did he use
during 12 noon solstice using his stick
