Select the correct answer to complete the sentence. Gravitational force is said to be universal because..
1. A. It applies to all objects.
Why does the speed of a planet decrease as it moves away from the sun?
2. C. The direction of the sun's pull relative to the planet's motion changes.
Which statement about the development of Newton's theory of universal gravitation is correct?
3. A. Isaac Newton described the existence of gravitational force mathematically, but he built upon the ideas of other scientists before him.
Drag each item to the correct location, so that each contribution to the theory of universal gravitation is matched with the scientist responsible for it.
4. Johannes Kepler: Described the motion of planets around the sun as elliptical.
Robert Hooke: First proposed the idea that a force of attraction applied to all objects in space.
Isaac Newton: Used mathematics to prove that gravity increases with decreasing distance between objects.
Drag each item to indicate whether it is related to Aristotle's of Ptolemy's model of the solar system, or to both. Some items may be used twice.
5. Aristotle's Model: Geocentric, Planets fixed on nested places.
Ptolemy's Model: Accurately predicted the positions of the planets, Planets fixed on epicycles, Geocentric.

Zinact is right! I just got 100%!
Zinact is correct! 100%. Thank You!
zinact
is correct
no just the questions that don't have to drag the answers to a box
yup me too
Zinact still correct
Zinact is still completely correct for Connections Academy!
Zinact is right but a few of the letters got swapped so just watch out
