are you sure
Yes, I am confident in my response. Johannes Kepler described the motion of planets around the sun as elliptical, Isaac Newton first proposed the idea of a force of attraction applying to all objects in space (universal gravitation), and he also used mathematics to prove that gravity increases with decreasing distance between objects. Robert Hooke made significant contributions to the field of physics, but his work did not specifically relate to the theory of universal gravitation.
which model is which
Aristotle's Model Ptolemy's model
Aristotle's Model Ptolemy's model
Aristotle's Model - The Earth is at the center of the universe, and other celestial bodies revolve around it in perfect circular motions.
Ptolemy's Model - The Earth is at the center of the universe, and celestial bodies move in complex orbits called epicycles to explain their observed motions.
