WHAT I CAN DO?

Using YouTube, watch the Ptolemaic Planetary Model on the website below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGjlT3XHb9
This will allow the introduction of Brahe and Kepler's analysis of planetary motions that led
to the 3 laws.
Analyze and discuss the implications of scientists defying cultural beliefs in older times and
what science would be like today without the scientific analysis and discoveries of Brahe and
Kepler.

ANSWER:
- Tycho’s observations were not surpassed by those made with telescopes for a hundred
years. Tycho believed in a geo-heliocentric cosmos. In this model the sun orbits the earth, but
the other planets revolve around the sun. His hybrid model actually solved a bunch of the
math problems astronomers were having with the Ptolemaic model. It is also placed the sun
on a collision course with planets. Tycho observed and took precise measurements of the
same sky all the time, nothing that sometimes “stars” streaked around - these were comets.  

Johaness Kepler’s conclusion was important for showing that planets do actually move at
non-uniform speeds because we can describe these motions very precisely using the right mix
of math and patient observation of the night sky.

Without the scientific analysis and discoveries of Brahe and Kepler, science would be difficult
to understand because science is a process to help us determine the explanations for our
observations of the world. It is a lot of process to understand and explain the world through
science.

Activity 1.5 Mini Lab

Given two one-peso coins, released at the same time, Coin A is dropped while Coin B is
thrown horizontally coming from the same height. Which one do you think would reach the
ground first?

Answer:

- Based on my observation that coin A was the first that reached the ground. While, coin B is
slow to reach the ground. When coin B reaches the ground its start on spinning around before
it stop.
