2. Kepler Law of Motion

Today's Topics:

1. Galileo Galilei
2. Isaac Newton

Lesson Objectives:

1.

Identify Galileo Galilei as a significant figure in the

history of science.

2.

Explain the concept of universal gravitation and its

role in the motion of celestial bodies.

3.

Compare and contrast Between Galileo and Newton's

contribution to society.

Who is Galileo Galilei

Galileo Galilei was an Italian scientist who
Invented a telescope with which he studied
lunar craters, and discovered four moons
revolving around Jupiter and espoused the
Copernican cause.

-Galileo agreed with
Copernicus and
proved his
heliocentric theory
was true
-Uh Oh…the church
said that it was illegal
to read the ideas of
Copernicus!

Galileo declared
that the sun
centered model
was correct!
The church called
Galileo a heretic.
He was not
allowed to publish
his material.

Isacc Newton

Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer,
alchemist,

. He was a key figure in the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment that
followed.

Far more than just discovering the laws of gravity, Sir Isaac Newton was also
responsible for working out many of the principles of visible light and the laws
of motion, and contributing to calculus.

●Newton's Law of Inertia: Every object persists in its
state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless
it is compelled to change that state by forces
impressed upon it.

●Newton's Law of Acceleration: Force is equal to the
change in momentum (mV) per change in time. For a
constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration
[expressed in the famous equation F = ma].

●Newton's Law of Action and Reaction: For every
action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
