The Earth would revolve around the Sun.
The Moon would revolve around the Sun.
The Earth would revolve around the Moon.
Which arbitrary unit of time was used until today that is based on astronomical phenomena?
The time it takes for the moon to be full again is used to measure a day.
The time it takes for the sun to be directly overhead at noon is used to measure a day.
The time it takes for a particular star to be visible in the night sky is used to measure months.
The time it takes for a moon to complete its cycle from full moon to new moon is used as a unit for
measuring a year.
What happens during a Solar eclipse?
The Moon is in the same general direction in the sky as the Sun causing it to be not visible in the night sky.
The Earth gets in between the Sun and the Moon and the shadow of the Earth covers the Moon partially and completely.
The Moon gets in between the Sun and the Earth and that the shadow of the Moon covers a portion of the Earth partially or completely.
The Moon and the Sun are opposite each other in the sky and the side of the Moon turned toward the Sun causing the Moon to be visible in the night sky.
Which of the following statements is NOT true about the works of Johannes Kepler?
He proposed that the shape of the orbit of the planets is not a circle but an ellipse.
The line between a planet and the sun sweeps out equal areas in the plane of the planet's orbit over equal times.
The harmonic relation between distances and periods having a constant proportionality which is the same for all planets.
He devoted his life measuring the positions of the celestial objects every night and day as possible, and carefully recorded measurements for 20 years.
What do early astronomers refer to celestial bodies that may look like stars but do not belong to a fixed position as the constellations?
Comets
Satellites
Wanderers
Star clusters

Galileo studied the motion of falling objects and it became clear that in the absence of air resistance, all objects will fall at the same rate. Which of the following statements BEST explain his idea?
The force of gravity alone accelerates objects at a varying rate.
With or without air resistance, heavier objects fall faster than the lighter objects.
Friction causes molecules of the air to accelerate a falling object at a constant rate.
With air resistance, lighter objects experience different conditions that change its time to reach the Earth’s surface.
According to the idea of Aristotle regarding motion, what type of motion is responsible for horizontal movement and is always a result of a force acting on an object?
Natural motion
Violent motion
Celestial motion
Projectile motion
Which of the following experiments led Galileo to believe that force is not necessary to sustain motion of objects?
Telescope
Pendulum
Inclined Plane
Leaning Tower of Pisa
What do we call the parabolic path followed by an object under a projectile motion?
Range
Height
Projectile
Trajectory
What will complete the thought, if a ball was rolled into a frictionless space (vacuum), the amount of force needed to keep it going will be equal to?
Twice the force with which it was rolled.
One half the force with which it was rolled.
Same amount of force with which it was rolled.
Zero since no force is necessary to keep it moving.
What is directly attributed to inertia?
Mass
Speed
Velocity
Acceleration
