7. Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 7 Advantages of the Geocentric Model 1.Earth was not thought to be a “celestial” body. Non-luminous sphere of mud/rock Birth, change, destruction 2.Earth “feels” stationary. Wouldn’t clouds, air, birds, etc. be left behind were Earth moving?! 3.No stellar parallax could be measured Hipparchus tried very hard! (150 BC)

9. Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 9 Stellar Parallax Parallax angle of the nearest star is less than 1/3600 of one degree. Ancient astronomers tried to measure parallax via careful naked-eye observations but failed. Finally detected in 1830 by F. Bessel using telescope.

Permission required for reproduction or display 10 A species living on Europa uses telescopes similar to ours to measure parallaxes of stars in our galaxy. Which of the following statements best describes their results: a. Because they are further from the Sun, they are only able to measure parallax angles to the closest of stars. b. Because they have a longer baseline, they are able to measure parallax angles to more distant stars. c. Because they have a longer baseline, they are only able to measure the parallax angles to the closest of stars.

Galilei (1564-1642): As the “giver of life”, he believed Sun should be placed at the center of the Universe. Believed that the Ptolemaic model had become too clumsy and complicated. Conducted experiments on the nature of motion. Observed celestial objects with telescope.

Moon craters Earth-like surface Sun spots Celestial bodies not perfect! Moons of Jupiter A mini solar system? Phases of Venus Ptolemaic model could not explain.

18. Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 18 Newton’s First Law of Motion: An object continues in a state of rest or in a state of uniform motion at a constant speed along a straight line unless compelled to change that state by a net force. Why? Because objects have “inertia ”

19. Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 19 Net force = sum of all forces: Here, we say that the NET force is zero! The box stays at rest. There is no change in its state of motion – no net force is acting on it.

20. Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 20 Force and inertia Natural state of motion is at a constant speed, in a straight line. Ball wants to travel in a straight line, but the string continuously pulls it back toward the center of the circle.

23. Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 23 Acceleration: a change in direction

24. Copyright © The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Permission required for reproduction or display 24 Newton’s 2 nd Law of Motion: The amount of acceleration (a) produced by a force (F) depends on the mass (m) of the object being accelerated. Mathematically: F = m×a Alternatively: a = F/m
