Chapter 21 - Scientific Revolution

From ancient Greece until the Renaissance, what did most people believe about Earth’s place in the universe?

• They believed there wasn’t a center of the universe.

• They believed our solar system was the center of the universe.

• They believed Earth was at the center of the universe.

• They believed that the sun was at the center of the universe.

What was the MOST significant discovery that occurred as a result of Galileo’s interest in the telescope?

• He eventually saw that the planets revolved around the sun.

• He learned how to grind lenses and make his own telescopes.

• He earned a living by making telescopes for Venice merchants.

• He discovered stars that nobody else had ever seen.

Which law of motion is this?

"A golf ball remains on a tee until someone hits it with a club."

• 1st Law: Object at rest stays at rest...

• 2nd Law: The greater the weight, the more force...

• 3rd Law: Every action has a reaction...

Which law of motion is this?

"A cue ball that hits another billiard ball will bounce backwards."

• 1st Law: Object at rest stays at rest...

• 2nd Law: The greater the weight, the more force...

• 3rd Law: Every action has a reaction...

Which law of motion is this?

"A broken bicycle will require 1 person to move it, whereas a broken car will require many people to move it."

• 1st Law: Object at rest stays at rest...

• 2nd Law: The greater the weight, the more force needed...

• 3rd Law: Every action has a reaction...

Galileo sought evidence that he would use...

• for analysis

• to prove himself correct

Galileo dropped two cannonballs of different weights to demonstrate that...

• they would land at the SAME time

• they would land at DIFFERENT times

Galileo’s experiment paved the way for the

• Scientific Method

• Laws of Motion

• Reformation

• Renaissance

Which of these theories of elliptical orbits did Johannes Kepler establish?

• There is an exact relationship between a planet’s distance from the sun and the amount of time it takes to revolve around the sun. (year)

• Planets farther from the sun have a more pronounced elliptical orbit than planets that are closer to the sun.

• Planets closer to the sun move faster around the sun than planets far away from the sun. (Speed)

• As planets get closer to the sun, the speed at which they travel increases.

Failure to follow the scientific method could lead to which problematic outcomes?

• You could make a new discovery.

• You could get a poor, misleading result.

• You could get a result that confirms your biases.

• You could get an unexpected result.
