Question

-first proposed the idea that a force of attraction applied to all objects in space
-used mathematics to prove that gravity increases with decreasing distance between objects
described the motion of planets around the sun as elliptical

Answer 1

Here’s how the contributions to the theory of universal gravitation can be matched with the scientists responsible for them:

1. Johannes Kepler - described the motion of planets around the sun as elliptical
2. Robert Hooke - first proposed the idea that a force of attraction applied to all objects in space
3. Isaac Newton - used mathematics to prove that gravity increases with decreasing distance between objects
