Galileo

Yes, Galileo had a patron in the form of Cosimo II de' Medici, the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Cosimo II supported Galileo both financially and academically, allowing him to pursue his scientific endeavors.

Assumptions:

1) You throw it straight up. No angle, nothing.

2) Answers.com removed your punctuation, thus you meant initial speed of 39 m/s

3) No air resistance

4) Your "throw" begins at the ground (meaning you're not counting the height of the person)

Answer = 39 m/s

Reasoning: With nothing but the acceleration of gravity to slow it, it will slow to a stop, then accelerate and return along the same path. With no resistance, it will accelerate to the same velocity as its initial velocity by the time it reaches the point of origin.

Fun Fact: Feel free to try this. I recommend using a hackey-sack and laying on your back while you throw upward.

Sir Isaac Newton left school for a little while due to the outbreak of the Great Plague in London, which forced the closure of the University of Cambridge where he was studying. Newton returned to his family's farm in Woolsthorpe during this time.

No el stupido! Lorenzo's Vincenzo is from the movie Soccer Mom! Are you kidding me?

Telescope

Actually, Galileo did not invented the telescope. But he did build his own, improved telescope. His was the 1st telescope strong enough to actually view the planets and stars in space.

The first telescope (called a spy glass) used one convex lens and one concave lens. Galileo perfected it by using two convex lenses.

Galileo also invented the Geometric compass which was use for calculations and for measurements

The pendulum clock was another invention Galileo worked on but it was invented by Christian Huggens

im not sure but i also think he invented the thermometer and barometer but u should search for it

Antonio discovered that Narciso was shot and left to die in a field by the Trementina gang. He also learned that Narciso was a kind and caring man who had protected Ultima's owl and had tried to help others in the community.

The earliest know working telescopes appeared in 1608 by Hans Lippershey.

No, Galileo was not able to see the rings of Saturn through his telescope. The resolution of his telescope was not powerful enough to distinguish the rings, so he mistakenly described Saturn as having "ears" or handle-like appendages. It was only later astronomers with more advanced telescopes who were able to see and identify Saturn's rings.

False. Galileo believed that the natural state of an object was to be in motion. He famously challenged the Aristotelian idea that objects naturally came to rest.

Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist, and engineer during the Renaissance period, which followed the Middle Ages. He is often referred to as the "father of observational astronomy" and the "father of modern physics."

Galileo's muse was his passion for observation, experimentation, and the pursuit of truth in the field of astronomy and physics. He was inspired by the beauty and complexity of the natural world, which drove him to challenge existing scientific beliefs and develop his groundbreaking theories.

The theory of inertia was first formulated by Sir Isaac Newton in his first law of motion, also known as Newton's first law. Newton proposed that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Yes, the invention of the telescope led to further advancements in science and technology, including improvements in optics, astronomy, and the development of other optical instruments. It revolutionized our understanding of the universe and paved the way for discoveries such as the moons of Jupiter and the rings of Saturn.

Galileo challenged the prevailing belief that the moon was a perfect, unchanging sphere by observing its surface through a telescope and documenting its craters and mountains. His observations provided evidence that the moon's surface was not smooth and unblemished as previously thought. This challenged traditional beliefs about the perfection of celestial bodies and laid the foundation for modern observational astronomy.

Galileo believed the heliocentric view of the universe was correct based on his observations through a telescope, such as the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter. These observations provided evidence supporting the idea that the Earth revolved around the Sun, challenging the geocentric view supported by the Catholic Church at the time.

Galileo abjured his scientific findings and beliefs in 1633 because he was facing the threat of torture and death by the Roman Catholic Church for his defense of the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus. By recanting his views, Galileo avoided further persecution and ensured his survival.

Both Aristotle and Galileo triggered a Paradigm Shift.

Galileo mainly influenced the world of 'scientists'.

To be honest a universe with or without earth as centre doesn't matter that much

Probably Newton made more difference, only would there have been a 'Newton' without Galilei

But also Newton mainly influenced the world of 'scientists'.

Aristotle cause a Major Paradigm shift in The Western World. A reality Redesign.

One that changed the view about reality from a holistic view (The One, The Fire, The All, ..) in a creationist view. Physical common sense reality + supreme God.

Galileo's family likely knew Jacopo Borghini through their shared connections in the intellectual and scholarly circles of Florence. Borghini was a prominent figure in the Florentine humanist movement, and his interest in literature and philosophy would have overlapped with the interests of Galileo's family. It is possible that they met through mutual friends or through their associations with the Medici court.

Although Galileo's telescope was the first to be used for astronomical purposes, he didn't invent

the telescope.

A man named Hans Lipperhey invented the telescope. Many people claimed to have invented the telescope however Hans Lipperhey was the only one to apply for a patent.

The philosophy promoted by the ancient Greeks and adopted by Christian philosophers was that the heavenly realm was divine and perfect. I'm not sure how they accounted for the blemishes upon the lunar surface. But for essentially religious reasons the earth was assumed to represent the center of all existence. The findings of science upset this view which had dominated human thought for thousands of years. The conflict continues to this day, though as far as solar system models are concerned the scientists have taken the field.

"Nevertheless, it moves" is attributed to Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, who reportedly muttered the phrase after being forced by the Catholic Church to renounce his belief that the Earth moved around the sun. This statement reflects his revolutionary support for the heliocentric model of the solar system.

Galileo Galilei was the Italian physicist put on trial in 1633 for supporting the heliocentric model of the solar system proposed by Copernicus, which stated that the Earth revolved around the sun. This was considered heretical by the Catholic Church at the time.

Galileo's improved telescope allowed him to observe detailed features of celestial bodies, such as the phases of Venus and the moons of Jupiter. These observations provided evidence that not all celestial bodies orbit Earth, supporting the heliocentric theory proposed by Copernicus.

He could only make out four of Jupiters' largest moons.

Galileo Galilei discovered four moons orbiting around Jupiter, known as the Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto), in 1610. These discoveries played a significant role in changing the understanding of the solar system at the time.
