Why did it take Kepler so long to discover the truth about the motions of the solar system?

Answer:

Look below :) Hope this helped. Please provide Brainliest, as reporters took all I had away. Thanks!

Explanation:

Kepler's family was Lutheran and he adhered to the Augsburg Confession a defining document for Lutheranism. However, he did not adhere to the Lutheran position on the real presence and refused to sign the Formula of Concord. Because of his refusal he was excluded from the sacrament in the Lutheran church. This and his refusal to convert to Catholicism left him alienated by both the Lutherans and the Catholics. Thus he had no refuge during the Thirty-Years War.

The Holy Roman Empire of German Nationality at the Time of Kepler

The Holy Roman Empire of German Nationality at the Time of Kepler.

In 1612 Lutherans were forced out of Prague, so Kepler moved on to Linz. His wife and two sons had recently died. He remarried happily, but had many personal and financial troubles. Two infant daughters died and Kepler had to return to Württemburg where he successfully defended his mother against charges of witchcraft. In 1619 he published Harmonices Mundi, in which he describes his "third law."

In spite of more forced relocations, Kepler published the Epitome Astronomiae in 1621. This was his most influential work and discussed all of heliocentric astronomy in a systematic way. He then went on to produce the Rudolphine Tables that Tycho had envisioned long ago. These included calculations using logarithms, which he developed, and provided perpetual tables for calculating planetary positions for any past or future date. Kepler used the tables to predict a pair of transits by Mercury and Venus of the Sun, although he did not live to witness the events.  

Johannes Kepler died in Regensburg in 1630, while on a journey from his home in Sagan to collect a debt. His grave was demolished within two years because of the Thirty Years War. Frail of body, but robust in mind and spirit, Kepler was scrupulously honest to the data.

A List of Kepler's Firsts

First to correctly explain planetary motion, thereby, becoming founder of celestial mechanics and the first "natural laws" in the modern sense; being universal, verifiable, precise.

In his book Astronomia Pars Optica, for which he earned the title of founder of modern optics he was the:

First to investigate the formation of pictures with a pin hole camera;

First to explain the process of vision by refraction within the eye;

First to formulate eyeglass designing for nearsightedness and farsightedness;

First to explain the use of both eyes for depth perception.

Suppose you dissolve 12.8 g of one substance in 11 g of another. Is this reasonable? Explain
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

No, its not reasonable.

Explanation:

The substance that is to be dissolved is known as solute. The substance that is dissolving is known as solvent.

The amount of solvent  in the mixture should be greater than that of solute.

Suppose we are taking a solvent in a beaker and we are continuously adding solute in it. Initially the solute dissolve quickly. At some point the solute stops dissolving in the solvent. This is known as saturation point of the solvent. After saturation point if solute is added further it does not dissolve in the solvent.

So, its not possible to dissolve 12.8 g of one substance in 11 g of another.

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The 1200 kg car.

Explanation:

The 1200 kg car had bo momentum at the initial stage of the journey because it wasn't on motion. But after collision with the 2000 kg car it gained alot of momentum.

Determine the values of m and n when the following average distance from the Sun to the Earth is written in scientific notation:
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

150000000000\ m=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m

Explanation:

A number can be written in the form of :

N=m\times 10^n

Where

m is the real number

n is any integer

In this case, the average distance from the Sun to the Earth is given,

d = 150000000000 meters

There are 10 zeroes in this number. We need to write this number in scientific notation. It is given by :

d=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m

So, the average distance from the Sun to the Earth is d=1.5\times 10^{11}\ m. Hence, this is the required solution.
