  • Kepler's Three Law's were groundbreaking in that they accurately described the motion of the planets around the sun. They dispelled the idea that the orbits were not circular but elliptical.
    However, it was not until Newton that we understood why Kepler's Laws work.
    Kepler's work was not in a vacuum however, and was the culmination of hundreds of years of studying the stars - from Aristotle's and Ptolemy's geocentric model to Copernicus' geocentric model and the meticulous measurement of the planets by Tycho Brahe
    This video provided an introduction to the scientific history and then proceeds to discuss Kepler's three laws

    i think my brain just melted out through my ears - I can't fathom how you guys' brains just work like this. I have a huge respect towards all scientists but especially the ones dealing with mathematics . It truly is a talent you have to be born with, to see numbers in such a complex way and understand immediately. It takes me a long time to GET IT. Thank you for this video, it did help a lot!!

If you have actually gone through 5 lectures and still didn't understand it, you might just be a dumbass.

      Actually Kleplers‘s law is derived on

    Great explanations. You are much better than my classroom teacher.
    But I suppose Kepler's law of period r^3/t^2=GM/4^2 would only work when the object revolving around a central mass in a circular motion. However, from the video, the eccentricity of mercury is 0.206, which should be large enough for its motion to be considered as elliptical. So my question is can you actually derive a equation that describe such an elliptical motion.

    • @PhysicsHigh
      @PhysicsHigh  7 лет назад +8

      Kepler's third law is actually based on the semi major axis (aka r is the length of the semi major axis) so it applies to mercury was well

    • @yuandadong5177
      @yuandadong5177 7 лет назад +3

      To derive what R^3/T^2 equal to, you applied v= 2pi/r which is a formula for circle, and you applied the formula for uniform circular motion F= mv^2/r. Well, then the left hand side of Kepler's third law is for an ellipse, but the right hand side is derived using properties of circles. At least to me, it should not work with ellipse.

Thankyou

    • @PhysicsHigh
      @PhysicsHigh  4 года назад

      You are right in that the orbits are elliptical. But they are very close to circular. Thus means that the centripetal formula is s good approximation although in theory needs to take account of the elliptical path.

      Good question
      The actual Keller’s law refers to the half the semi major axis. With a circle it’s the radius with an ellipse it’s half the greater diameter. Since most orbits of planets have an eccentricity of very close to 1, the radius is fine to use.

    Fact: over a 15-year period (of 5495 days) Mars returns facing a given star in this curious sequence of time intervals: 707 + 707 + 707 +707 + 707 +707+ 707 + 546 days. As expounded and illustrated in Chapter 5 of my new TYCHOS book (2nd Edition / Dec 2023), this means that the geoheliocentric model devised by Tycho Brahe is the only possible configuration of our Solar System. This, because the 'odd behavior' of Mars - what with its "short Empiric Sidereal Interval" of only 546 days is - perfectly accounted for in Brahe's model. It is now high time to realize this undeniable fact - and to expose Kepler's fraudulent ways in his vain quest to validate heliocentrism (as already discovered and denounced by Prof. W.H. Donahue - the American translator of Kepler's "Astronomia Nova" - back in 1988).

    Is "Planetary Law of Motion" same as "Law of Planetary Motion"?
    Just asking.
