Question

3. How did Kepler's work influence Newton?

Kepler understood that forces caused the motion of planets, but did not understand how to describe this
motion.
Newton understood that forces caused the motion of planets, but did not understand how to describe this
motion.
O Kepler acted as a mentor for Newton as a young astronomer
O Kepler described the motion of planets, but did not explain the cause of this motion

Answer 1

How Kepler's work influenced Newton is;

Kepler described the motion of planets, but did not explain the cause of this motion

Step-by-step explanation:

Kepler's first law states that the motion of the planets are elliptical

Kepler's second law states that the elliptical orbit of the planets round the Sun at the focus of the ellipse is such that an equal area at equal times is swept by the line between the planets and the Sun

Kepler's third law states that the distance of a planet from the Sun and the time it takes the planet to move round the Sun are related mathematically

From Kepler's law Sir Isaac Newton explained the causes of motion
