What is the difference between the Ptolemaic universe and the Copernican universe?
A Ptolemaic view of the Universe has the Earth at it's centre. The Copernican centres on the sun. Both however have been found to be incorrect.
What separate a hypothesis from a prediction?
Both terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but "hypothesis" is more specific. It refers to a certain kind of prediction that is based on extensive research. Usually, a hypothesis will also need to explain itself. After experiments have been conducted, the hypothesis will either be supported or not supported by the results. A prediction does not necessarily require the research and support that a hypothesis needs.
Why did the Copernican hypothesis win gradual acceptance?
Because it was based on right reasoning and observable corroboration. It was "gradual" because most people are not aware of the method used that has and is used to progress us both technologically and socially.
How did Nickolaus Copernicus account for the retrograde motion of the planets?
The retrograde motion of the planets is well modelled by both the Ptolemaic system and the Copernican system, and by the other models. But the Copernican system explains it more simply because, for example, Mars's retrograde motion is caused simply when Mars is overtaken by the Earth, which goes more quickly round the Sun. Thus an observer on the Earth sees Mars appearing to go 'backwards' on the ecliptic around the time of closest approach (opposition). This can be easily demonstrated by assuming simple circular orbits.
Why models of the ealry ptolemy solar system were replaced by the copernican model?
The Ptolemaic Model followed a geocentric model of the solar system. This was then challenged by Nicolaus Copernicus, who claimed a heliocentric model which sparked an integral part of the Scientific Revolution called, the Copernican Revolution. Copernicus' proposal was followed by the Tychonic Model, with attempted to compromise with the geo- and heliocentric models. Then, Kepler improved by suggesting elliptical orbits. The Copernican Revolution came to a close with further speculation from Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton TL;DR Because they were wrong
What is an inverse hypothesis?
To determine the inverse, negate both the hypothesis and conclusion.
How do you contrast the hypothesis of gradualism to the hypothesis of punctuated equilibria?
By studying both subjects and noting the differences.
How is a theory and a hypothesis similar?
Yes and no- they are both ideas. However, a theory has been tested, a hypothesis has not.
What is the symbol for research hypothesis?
symbol for research hypothesis are written in two ways . Ha or H1 . both meant to address research hypothesis.
What does hypothesis and theory have in common?
they both have to do with guessing
How is a hypothesis and a theory alike?
Both a hypothesis and a theory offer an explanation of some observed phenomenon. The difference is that a hypothesis must have confirmation to become a theory.
How can a hypothesis be suported?
with an experiment or research preferably both
