paved the way for Kepler’s discovery of his laws of planetary motion
17./24. Explain the subtle distinction between Newton’s 1st Law of Motion (or Law of Inertia) and
Galileo’s assertion that force is not necessary to sustain horizontal motion

Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory
25./32. Explain the consequences of the postulates of Special Relativity (e.g., relativity of
simultaneity, time dilation, length contraction, mass-energy equivalence, and cosmic speed limit)
26./33. Explain the consequences of the postulates of General Relativity (e.g., correct predictions of
shifts in the orbit of Mercury, gravitational bending of light, and black holes)

cosmic distance ladder)
28./35. Explain how we know that we live in an expanding universe, which used to be hot and is
approximately 14billion years old.
