Johannes Kepler Robert Hooke Isaac Newton

Answer 1

To match each contribution to the theory of universal gravitation with the correct scientist:

• Johannes Kepler: Formulated the laws of planetary motion, including the law of orbits (planets move in elliptical paths around the sun).

• Robert Hooke: Proposed that the force of gravity is proportional to the distance between two objects and contributed to the idea of gravitational attraction.

• Isaac Newton: Developed the law of universal gravitation, which quantitatively describes the gravitational force between two masses.

So, the correct pairings would be:

• Johannes Kepler → Laws of planetary motion
• Robert Hooke → Early concepts of gravitational attraction
• Isaac Newton → Law of universal gravitation

You can drag the names to their respective contributions as described above.
