What is the theory pertaining to the motion of molecules of gases?
Kinetic Theory.
What did the bohr model of the atom help to explain?
The Bohr model of an atom was of planetary type.
The kinetic molecular theory assumes that the particles of an ideal gas?
are in random, constant, straight-line motion
What does the kinect theory state?
Atoms and molecules are constantly in motion
The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made of particles whose speed is dependent on what?
The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made of particles whose speed is dependent on their mass and temperature. The kinetic theory states that particles in matter are always in motion.
Which Italian astronomer wote the theory of planetary motion in 1632?
Kepler
What was Johannes Kepler popularly known for?
Johannes Kepler was born in Germany in 1571 and was a mathematician, astrologer and astronomer. He was best know for his laws of planetary motion which were the foundation for Newton's theory of universal gravitation.
System an early geocentric theory planetary motion?
ptolemaic
What caused Copernicus to challenge aristotles theories of planetary motion?
Copernicus believed the planetary motions were due to:
Who was the scientist that developed a new model of planetary motion?
Isaac newton discovered the three principles of planetary motion
Who wrote the theory for the gravitational laws of planetary motion?
There are numerous theories of planetary motion. Ptolemaeus (earth in the centre), Copernicus (the sun in the centre, planets orbit around it), Kepler (planet orbits are ellipses) all wrote such theories.
The scientist who included three laws about the movements of the planets as part of his theory of the universe was?
Johannes Kepler was the scientist who included three laws of planetary motion as part of his heliocentric theory of the universe. These laws, known as Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion, describe the orbits of planets around the Sun.
How did Newton alter Keplerʼs three laws?
He didn't alter them. He showed that his theory of planetary motion under gravity was consistent with them.
What did Rene descartes contribute to physics?
Descartes created the most popular theory on planetary motion. He also contributed to the theories and laws of motion as well as the laws of nature.
How is Keppler related to Solar System?
Well, seeing as he was a Mathematician and Astronomer, he is closely related to the Solar System. During the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century Johannes Kepler discovered and documented the laws of planetary motion. His studies also laid the groundwork for Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation.
What are the three fundamental laws of planetary motion which describe the copernican theory?
There are no fundamental laws behind the Copernican theory. The three laws of planetary motion that we use now were discovered by Johannes Kepler and published in 1609, sixty-six years after Copernicus died. Kepler introduced the new idea of elliptical orbits. The idea that the Sun is at the centre (loosely speaking) was the only part of the Copernican theory that Kepler retained.
What is meat by the geometric theory of planetary motion?
The Geometric Theory states that Earth is a motionless planet at the center of the universe while all the other planets, moons, stars, and sun circle around it.
