Newton derived Keplars findings from Newton's Theory of Gravity. Thus, newton 'explained' the basis for Keplars findings and extended them.

What did Johannes Kepler discover that the paths planets follow are?

Kepler discovered that the planets move in elliptical orbits and he published three laws of planetary motion that explained the details of the ellipses. Kepler's work used observations done by Tycho Brahe, and subsequent observations confirmed that Kepler's laws were correct (they still are). No-one knew why until the later discoveries of the laws of motion and the laws of gravity about 70 years later.


Which scientist continued the work of another while studying the elliptical path of planets Name both scientists. Kepler advanced Copernicus' work. Newton advanced Copernicus' work. Kepler continued N?

Johannes Kepler continued the work of Nicolaus Copernicus while studying the elliptical paths of planets. Kepler formulated his laws of planetary motion, which described the orbits of planets around the Sun. Isaac Newton later built upon both Copernicus and Kepler's work by developing the law of universal gravitation.


Is work involed in newtons second law?

No, his three laws do not directly address work done.


When did kelper work out planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun?

Johannes Kepler determined that planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun in the early 17th century. His observations and mathematical calculations led to the formulation of his three laws of planetary motion.


Newton was the first to understand that gravitation caused planets to follow irregular orbits?

It was actually Johannes Kepler who discovered that planets follow elliptical orbits in the early 17th century. Newton later built upon Kepler's work by formulating the law of universal gravitation, explaining the underlying force responsible for the motion of planets.

What was Johannes Kepler major accomplishment?

His work on planetary orbits.


Who was Person who first showed that planetary orbits are ellipses?

Johannes Kepler was the person who first showed that planetary orbits are ellipses. His work, published in 1609, is known as Kepler's first law of planetary motion.


Did Johannes Kepler discover Kepler planets?

No, Johannes Kepler is best known for describing the laws that dictate how orbits work. The Kepler planets were discovered by the Kepler telescope, a spacecraft named in his honor.


How did Kepler's work improve on or support Copernicus' heliocentric?

Kepler completely replaced Copernicus's theory of the orbits of the planets, which was based on circles an epicycles, with a new theory using elliptical orbits. However Kepler retained Copernicus's idea of placing the Sun at the centre.

Who discovered that the orbits in which the planets move around the Sun are elliptical?

Johannes Kepler discovered that the orbits of planets around the Sun are elliptical in shape. Kepler's work on planetary motion led to his three laws of planetary motion, which revolutionized our understanding of the solar system.


What did Kepler discover about the shape of the planets orbits?

All orbits are ellipses, a sort of oval. Kepler's laws didn't give people enough information to actually calculate an orbit, but his work was fundamental to Isaac newton's work in developing theories of gravity and developing calculus.


Who discovered that planets have elliptical orbits?

Johannes Kepler discovered that planets have elliptical orbits in the early 17th century. Kepler's work was based on observations made by Tycho Brahe and his own mathematical calculations. His laws of planetary motion laid the foundation for modern understanding of celestial mechanics.


What kind of work is done when a force opposes an object's motion watts newtons or molecular?

The answer is newtons
