Why was retrograde motion important in astronomy?
Retrograde motion important in astronomy because it helped to explain that the planets revolved around the Sun. Retrograde motion is the ability of some objects to rotate in a direction that is opposite what is expected.
What type of motion is it when an object travels around another?
When objects are bound gravitationally in centrifugal motion, the objects are said to be in orbit of each other.
What is responsible for the patterns of motion of all celestial objects?
Gravity for the real motion, the Earth's rotation for the apparent motion.
Why did Aristotle's geocentric theory fail to match the expected prediction?
A few celestial objects appear to have retrograde motion.
What to do means by the reflaction light and why this occuor?
explain motion?
What term defines as a change in an objects position relative to a reference point?
A change in an objects position relative to a reference point is called motion.
What term is defined as a changed in an objects position relative to a reference point?
A change in an objects position relative to a reference point is called motion.
What term is defined as a change in a object position relative to a reference point?
A change in an objects position relative to a reference point is called motion.
What is the definition of the word relative motion?
Relative motion is the concept that the motion of all objects is relative to other objects. If you are sitting still right now you are not moving relative to the earth, however you are moving relative to sun.
When we can say the object is in motion?
When its position is changing relative to our position. Note: all motion is relative to something else.
How can you describe the motion of an object?
By the relative motion of neighbour objects
What is the change in objects position?
The change in an objects position is called motion.
What is required in order to detect and measure motion?
Two objects basically, 1 changing position relative to the other from where its being observed.
Why does motion occurs?
motion occurs when an object changes its position relative to a reference point.
If an objects position does not change relative to a reference point is it in motion relative to that reference point?
If we're in the realm of newtonian physics I would say that it couldn't be in motion relative to a reference point, of course quantum physics and seems to prove everything we believe wrong.
An object is in motion if its position changes relative to a what?
An object is in motion if it changes position relative to a reference point. Motion is a relative quantity and is expressed in respect to the position of another object. Example: both a car and the Earth are moving (earth is revolving around the sun) but if we express the motion of the car in respect to the Earth, we say the car is moving relative to the Earth. At the same time the earth is moving relative to the sun.
How are positions and motion related?
Motion is change of position. but remember both must always be related to some 'datum' position or state of motion.
