The Importance Of Sir Isaac Newton's Three Laws Of Motion

Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) was a British physicist who ideas and innovations helped him be viewed as one of the greatest physicist of all time. Though he had some great scientist to come before him (Archimedes or Galileo) it was Newton’s ideas that were deemed to exemplify the scientific method of inquiry that would be soon adopted throughout the science age. Aristotle’s theory of the physical universe was proven to be inadequate to describe the movement of nature, so Newton tried to come up with his own way of viewing this and eventually he produced the three rules about the movement of objects throughout nature. Newton 's Three Laws, named after Sir Isaac Newton, who derived the laws, provide the basis for the study of Dynamics, and …show more content…
Something that is stressed is that the heavier the object is, more force will be required to move that object. However, the lighter the object, the less force will be required to move it an example could be used in this picture

In Figure A, there is a man who car appears to be at a standstill. The man in the picture is appearing to try to move the car to go .05 m/s/s. So, you would be trying to figure out, how much force is the man going to need to apply to the car to get it too move in his desired direction. In this case scenario, you would use the equation mass times acceleration (F = M*A) to figure out how much force would the man need to apply to the car to get it to go in the desired direction. When you substitute the equation for numbers you would have F = 1000 * 0.05 which would equal to 50 Newton’s. A main concept that needs to be understood in Newton’s second law of motion is net force. Net force is the main focus of Newton’s second law of
