Isaac Newton

Newton’s Laws Sir Isaac Newton created his three laws in 1686 when he was only 43 years old. The three laws that he created were, 1) An object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by an outside force. 2) F=ma, and 3) Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Without these three laws there would be a huge misunderstanding in how things move, rise, and fall. Every time you hit a ball or bounce on a trampoline you are using one of Newton’s three laws…

Throughout history, new ideas and inventions have been created from human intelligence effecting the way human life exist in today’s world. There have been different periods all around the world that have experienced some sort of lack development. Then there have been other times of great discovery and creation leaning towards something new and exciting. For a good amount of time, not too much development and creations were being brought forth upon. Part of the reason may be because of religion…

A swimmer can feel drag by Friction, pressure and wave dog. Frictional is caused because of the rubbing of the swimmer’s body against the water molecules. (Newtons Laws of Motion) Even if the swimmer is going at a low pace the swimmer will still be able to feel this going on by slowing the swimmer down. The swimmer pushes against the water, the water pushes against the swimmer in return. Wave dog can be challenging…

During the 17th century, an English scientist Sir Isaac Newton showed the scientific research for rocketry. Newton represented his idea of motion into three different laws. These explained how rockets work and why they work in space or any other sort of mediums. The first movement law is an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by another force. The second law states, acceleration of an object is exerted by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force.…

the past and move onto the future. The Enlightenment also helped people understand the scientific processes and opened up the circumstances of politics. The Enlightenment helped people to think deeper about certain things in life. For example, Isaac Newton, a scientist who explained the physics of gravity, helped people understand the laws of physics. John Locke, a famous philosopher helped society assert their right in government. Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a French philosopher, stated that…

Tycho Brahe died and left all his observational data to Johan Kepler. These records provided Kepler with the information necessary to disprove the Ptolemaic theory by stating that planets orbit around the sun. This data laid the groundwork for Sir Isaac Newton and his theories regarding planetary…

Best phrased by surgeon, author, and inventor Leonard Shlain in his book, Art & Physics, “Revolutionary art and visionary physics are both investigations into the nature of reality.” However dissimilar Vincent van Gough’s Starry Night may seem from Isaac Newton’s second law of motion, according to Shlain, this is what fundamentally unifies the two subjects. Physics is the study of the natural world, while art is the representation of it. Art has been part of our culture longer than any of the…

Science has revolutionized our world with unimaginable advancements in technology. From the brilliant minds of William Whewell (who coined the English word “science”) to the modern day scientist like Stephen William Hawking (who contributed to the vast amount of today’s knowledge on cosmology and quantum gravity). Furthermore, science has become so advanced in this day-in-age that it has been split apart into different sections that each cover a broad range of technological information,…

Everything in my life has changed between polar opposites. I grew up in two completely different economic statuses. If there is one thing I learned, it is that family bonds can fill voids of superficial needs, and yet sometimes family bonds are broken. I myself, decided the best way to fill any void was school. I lived in El Paso, Texas, until I was nine. It seemed most stayed inside to hide from demons lurking the streets. My family had our own demons, and it seemed we tried to keep them…

chaotic. It helps us when we’re dealing with money, school, and work and just about anything that you can think of. But who came up with this “math” thing? Lots of people helped contribute to the discovery of it. It wasn’t just one person. Like Isaac Newton, a very influential scientist, and indeed is the creator of Newton’s law. He made a big contribution to what we learn in school today. Although he is a very important part of history, he’s not the only one who made a difference in it. …
