AP Success - AP European History: The Scientific Revolution Explored
Question 1
The movement towards explaining natural phenomena solely through the use of practical mechanics.
The shift from relying on Aristotelian substantial forms and occult qualities to applying mathematical principles to natural phenomena.
The rejection of empirical observation in favor of purely theoretical mathematical models.
The complete abandonment of ancient mechanical sciences in favor of modern chemistry.
Question 2
The materials used in the construction of devices, with 'geometrical' using more durable materials.
The complexity of the theories involved, with 'mechanical' being more complex.
The degree of accuracy with which the work is carried out, with 'geometrical' being more accurate.
The historical period of their development, with 'mechanical' being associated with modern times.
Question 3
Practical mechanics is associated with the manual arts, and the term 'mechanics' originated from there.
The manual arts are a subset of practical mechanics that focus solely on artistic creation.
Practical mechanics is a theoretical discipline that has no relation to the manual arts.
The manual arts are more accurate and thus superior to practical mechanics.
Question 4
The imperfections in mechanical works are due to the limitations of the craftsmen, not the art itself.
Artificers intentionally introduce errors to distinguish their work from that of mathematicians.
Errors in mechanics are a result of inadequate mathematical knowledge.
The mechanical arts are inherently flawed and incapable of achieving accuracy.
Question 5
The role of government patronage in the advancement of scientific research during the period.
The decline of interest in natural philosophy and the rise of practical inventions.
The integration of mathematics into the study of natural philosophy and the rejection of earlier scientific theories.
The impact of the Scientific Revolution on the religious beliefs of European societies.
