Answer: C. Nicolas Copernicus

Explanation:

Copernicus's model of the universe (heliocentric theory) was refuting the long life geocentric theory (the Earth as the center of the universe) proposed by <u>Ptolemy</u> and accepted by the Catholic Church.

In this sense, <u>Ptolemy's model of the universe placed the Earth in the center of the known universe</u>, where our planet remains stationary while the other planets, the Moon and the Sun describe complicated orbits around it.

As Ptolemy was a respected astronomer and geographer, this idea was accepted for a long time, until Copernicus arrived with the new model.

What is the formula for volume using density and mass
lawyer [7]

The definition of density is

                                                       Density                  = (mass) / (volume)

Multiply each side by 'volume' :    (density) x (volume) = (mass)

    would fall at the same rate.  The answer is the same for a feather,
