Sir Isaa The Three Laws Of Motion

Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician and physicist who lived from 1643 to 1727. Newton grew up with his grandmother, whereas his father passed away shortly before he was born and his mother remarried a man he did not approve of. Newton attended Trinity College in Cambridge and worked as a servant at the university until he was awarded a scholarship because he could not afford the tuition fees. In 1666, the university was temporarily closed due to an extremely contagious, mortal disease and Newton was forced to return home. It was surprisingly during this time, when he was away from school, that he started to pursue his own ideas on physics. When the university reopened, Newton returned and took a fellowship in order to acquire his masters degree. Today, Newton is referred to as one of the most influential scientists that have ever lived. The emphasis of this essay will be on his most important discoveries and how they have influenced today’s science. Sir …show more content…
The first Law of Motion states that an object will forever remain in its current state, whether it is still or in motion, unless acted upon by another force. The second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object depends solely on the force exerted upon it and last but not least, The third Law of Motion states that to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. To each and every single law, Newton also developed an equation. (Lucas, 2014) These laws are extremely important and have been tested countless times to make sure that they are valid, both by Newton and other scientists. This particular discovery of Newton’s is often used when calculating and processing vital information regarding different fields of physics or mathematics as well as explaining in detail the motion of an object in various circumstances, from the movement of a ball in a particular sport to the motion of an aircraft.
