Question

The earliest known telescope was created in the Netherlands in the early 17th century. It would have been MOST helpful in A) confirming Newton's "Laws of Motion." B) proving Galileo's heliocentric theory. C) studying William Harvey's theory of the circulatory system. D) validating Sir Francis Bacon's belief in the "Scientific Method." Eliminate

Answer 1

C) studying william harvey's theory of the circulatory system hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

B) proving Galileo's heliocentric theory.

Explanation:

This is the theory that would have benefitted the most from the use of the telescope. Galileo's theory stated that the body at the center of the solar system is the sun, not the Earth. This can be observed with the use of a telescope. On the other hand, the theories of Bacon and Newton do not require a telescope to be proven, while Harvey's theory would need a microscope, not a telescope.
