Location 1: Johannes Kepler - Described the motion of planets around the sun as elliptical
Location 2: Robert Hooke - First proposed the idea that a force of attraction applied to all objects in space
Location 3: Isaac Newton - Used mathematics to prove that gravity increases with decreasing distance between objects
To match each contribution to the theory of universal gravitation with the scientist responsible for it, you can follow these steps:
1. First proposed the idea that a force of attraction applied to all objects in space: Isaac Newton
2. Used mathematics to prove that gravity increases with decreasing distance between objects: Robert Hooke
3. Described the motion of planets around the sun as elliptical: Johannes Kepler
So the correct matching would be:
1. Isaac Newton: First proposed the idea that a force of attraction applied to all objects in space
2. Robert Hooke: Used mathematics to prove that gravity increases with decreasing distance between objects
3. Johannes Kepler: Described the motion of planets around the sun as elliptical
