Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion describe the motion of one object in orbit around another. Newton's Laws of Motion and the Law of Universal Gravitation describe how objects move in response to a force and how objects are attracted to each other.

What scientist described gravity and the 3 laws of motion?

Isaac Newton.


What of Kepler and or Newton and law best describes Aristotelian violent motions?

The laws of motion are described by Newton's Three Laws. These laws don't coincide fully with previous beliefs about motion.


What factor did Newton take into account that Kepler missed in his laws of planetary motion?

orbital period


What astronomer discovered the laws of pendulum motion?

Isaac newton(england), while sitting on a church bench


How does Newton contribute to the model of the solar system?

Newton's work explained how the planets follow Kepler's three laws of planetary motion, in detail, and therefore provided a huge boost to the general acceptance of the Kepler model. It could be described as the beginning of analytical science. Kepler found from observations that the planets follow elliptical orbits, and Newton showed that with an inverse-square gravity force between each planet and the Sun, the planet must conform with all of Kepler's laws. Along the way Newton produced important discoveries in theoretical science: the three laws of motion and the differential calculus, and all of those were necessary parts of his detailed work on the planets. From measurements of the planets' distances and sizes, along with observations of Jupiter's moons, it was then possible to use Newton's results to calculate the mass of all the planets and moons, and the gravity forces acting on them.

Did Kepler believe the same laws of gravity as newton?

No. Kepler died before Newton was born.


What laws of motion explained Kepler's proposal of elliptical orbits?

The general laws about the planets' orbits were known before Newton - mainly, through the three Laws of Planetary Motion, by Kepler. Newton showed that the movement - as explained in Kepler's Laws - was a result of the laws of motion (especially Newton's Second Law), and of the force of gravitation.


How does newtons law of gravitation explain Kepler's laws?

Kepler's Laws describe what happens. Newton's Laws describes what happens and why. The why is the theoretical explanation due to Gravity.
