What contribution did Galileo make to how objects move?

Answer 1

Galileo's contributions ranges in technology, astronomy, physics and mathematics. Here is a list of his top ones.

He built one of the first telescope, but not designed it (the honour goes to Leonardo DaVinci). He has modified and improved the design.

He observed sunspots and four satellites of Jupiter.

More importantly, he stuck by Copernicus and Kepler to say that the Sun is the center of the solar system, known as the heliocentric or Copernican model. It was commonly believe in his days that the Earth was the centre, known as the geocentric model. This idea dates back to Aristotle, who believe that if the Earth was not in the centre, then the people on Earth would be able to feel the shift, or the wind brushing by, as it rotates.

Galileo was charged with heresy when he revealed the idea in a book. This was mostly because his published Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems was found offensive to the Cardinal-turned-Pope Urban VIII, as the Pope requested that his ideas be published as part of the writing. However, the writing was a dialogue among three characters, with the pope's ideas being represented bythe dumbest character, "Simplicius" . Hence this led to his arrest.

Answer 2

Galileo made significant contributions to the scientific world. His first discoveries involve the telescope. When he heard reports from Holland of a lens grinder who made a spyglass that magnified very distant objects in 1609, he quickly created his own telescope. His first experiments with the telescope involved earthly objects, but when he pointed it at the night sky, he became fascinated by what he saw.

Galileo's study of the night sky countered popular views of the astronomical world at the time. Galileo studied the moon, and found many earth-like features like mountains and plains. What he saw completely contradicted common belief at the time. His observations revealed that celestial bodies resembled the earth. At the time, the most common view was that the heavens were simple perfection, very unlike the human world. He saw that moons orbited Jupiter, showing that the earth was indeed not at the center of the planetary system. He even saw spots on the sun. Galileo shared these observations by publishing The Starry Messenger (1610) and Letters on Sunspots (1613).

Thus, Galileo's contributions lie in the scientific field where he dared to oppose common scientific beliefs at the time. This was very difficult to do as most of these scientific beliefs were based upon religious ideas (such as the heavens and planets being perfect). Galileo broke this scientific boundary and championed a whole new idea about how our solar system worked. His astronomical discoveries were his greatest contributions.

Answer 3

Galileo made no change to the way objects move; they behaved after his death

exactly as they always had before his birth. However, his investigations and studies

helped thoughtful people improve and expand their understanding of the behavior of

moving objects.

Answer 4

He discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter, the Earth revolving around the Sun instead of the Sun revolving around the Earth. He also invented the telescope.

Answer 5

He is the one who improved the telescope after invented by 1602.He have also theory in gravity also in pendulum.

Answer 6

One of them is the experiment from the leaning tower of pisa.

Answer 7

galileo gave tghe first telescope to the world n many more things
