I promise I got a 100
@coffee lover is 100% correct thank you so much for the help @coffee lover
- Kepler: used mathematics to prove heliocentric theory
- Newton: developed the laws of gravity
- Bacon: developed inductive reasoning
- Descartes: believed he existed because he was able to question his existence
box: Kepler - used mathematics to prove heliocentric theory
box: Newton - developed the laws of gravity
box: Bacon - developed inductive reasoning
box: Descartes - believed he existed because he was able to question his existence
box: Kepler: used mathematics to prove heliocentric theory
box: Newton: developed the laws of gravity
box: Bacon: developed inductive reasoning
box: Descartes: believed he existed because he was able to question his existence
To determine the correct match between the descriptions and the Scientific Revolution thinkers, we can go through each box and analyze the corresponding description:
- Developed inductive reasoning: This refers to Francis Bacon, who emphasized the use of empirical evidence and observation to form scientific conclusions. Therefore, we can match Bacon with this description.
- Believed he existed because he was able to question his existence: This description aligns with René Descartes, who famously stated, "Cogito, ergo sum" or "I think, therefore I am." Descartes used skepticism and his famous statement to establish a foundation of knowledge, starting from the assurance of his existence.
- Developed the laws of gravity: This description corresponds to Isaac Newton, who formulated the laws of motion and gravitation. Newton's laws of motion and his law of universal gravitation greatly contributed to our understanding of the physical world.
- Used mathematics to prove heliocentric theory: Johannes Kepler utilized advanced mathematical calculations to validate and expand upon the heliocentric theory proposed earlier by Copernicus. His laws of planetary motion paved the way for a more precise understanding of planetary orbits.
By matching the descriptions with the correct thinkers, we can determine the following combinations:
- Kepler: Used mathematics to prove heliocentric theory.
- Newton: Developed the laws of gravity.
- Bacon: Developed inductive reasoning.
- Descartes: Believed he existed because he was able to question his existence.
