SUMMATIVE TEST in PHYSICAL SCIENCE

Name: ____________________________________________ Grade & Section: __________________________

I. Directions: Read and analyze the statements below. Provide the best answer by writing it in the space
provided for each number.
1. ____________________________ He was a Polish astronomer who developed the Sun – centered
model of the solar system.
2. ____________________________ This is referred to as the Earth – centered model of the universe.
3. ____________________________ He was a Danish astronomer who is known for his very accurate
observations of the positions of the stars and planets.
4. ____________________________ He was a German mathematician and astronomer who formulated
the basic quantitative laws that describe planetary motion.
5. ____________________________ It is referred to as the closest point in the orbit of a planet to the
Sun which occurs around January 4 for the Earth.
6. ____________________________ It is referred to as the farthest point in the orbit of a planet to the
Sun which occurs around July 5 for the Earth.
7. ____________________________ This law of planetary motion states that the square of the sidereal
period is proportional to the cube of its semimajor axis (one – half the major axis).
8. ____________________________ He was the first Greek philosopher to propose that the Earth is
spherical due to the shape of the moon. He believed that because the moon is spherical, then the Earth
must be spherical as well.
9. ____________________________ According to him, significant evidences that the Earth is spherical
are the full moon and lunar eclipse.
10. ____________________________ He supported the ideas of Anaxagoras and he believed that the
Earth is a sphere, a very large sphere. He based this on his observation of particular stars and
constellations that are visible on different parts of the Earth.
11. ____________________________ He was a Greek mathematician and the chief librarian at the
Library of Alexandria who made significant calculations on the shape of the Earth.
12. ____________________________ It occurs when the Earth is directly aligned between the sun and
moon with the Earth casting a shadow on the moon.
13. ____________________________ It occurs when the moon passes between the Earth and sun with
the moon casting a shadow on the Earth’s surface.
14. ____________________________ It is the apparent daily motion of stars and other celestial bodies
across the sky due to Earth’s rotation.
15. ____________________________It is the slow ‘wobbling’ of Earth’s axis of rotation due to the
gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun.
16. ____________________________ It is the apparent yearly motion of stars and other celestial bodies
across the sky due to earth’s revolution.
17. ____________________________ This is the longest day of the year, meaning it experiences the
maximum intensity of the sun's rays and has the most hours of sunlight.
18. ____________________________ This results in the shortest day of the year, meaning it has the
longest period of darkness.
19. ____________________________ It is a day in a year in which the sun crosses the celestial equator
occurring near March 20 and there are approximately 12 hours of daytime and 12 hours of nighttime
at all locations on the Earth.

20. ____________________________ It is a day in a year in which the sun crosses the celestial equator
occurring near September 22 and there are approximately 12 hours of daytime and 12 hours of
nighttime at all locations on the Earth.

II. Directions: Enumerate the following:


21. – 30. Give 5 constellations and the time of the year which they are visible.

III. Directions: Read and solve the problems below:


30. Calculate the period of a planet whose orbit has a semimajor axis of 25 AU. Provide the given and
solution to your final answer. (5 points)

36. Calculate for the mean distance of a planet whose period is 83.75 y. Provide the given and solution to
your final answer. (5 points)

41. Convert 7,800 stadia to kilometers. Show your solution. (5 points)
