Newton’s Laws Sir Isaac Newton, the man who developed the first theories of gravitation, also introduced the three laws of motion. These laws essentially changed the field of physics in an astounding manner – it paved the way to modern science. Let’s look at these laws in some more detail: Newton’s first law: It states that an object will remain at rest or in a uniform motion, unless an external force acts on it. This is basically also the definition for inertia. In other words, the state of…

Gravitation - Movement, or a tendency to move, towards a centre of gravity, as in the falling of bodies to the earth. (Oxford Dictionary) Introduction : For centuries, mankind has always been fascinated by the celestial bodies. The motion of the stars and planets were at once a symbol of the divine order of the universe and a profound challenge for human understanding. For the ancient Greeks the separation between the terrestrial and celestial realms was absolute--the downward motion of…

Why did you lock up Isaac Newton?he didn’t do anything wrong he just creating a new math discovery called calculus.what is his backstory?how did he create this?,or why would he create this? You may be wondering about Isaac Newton’s backstory?well I tell you how it all went down.Isaac Newton was born december 25,1642 Woolsthorpe,Lincolnshire.He was born only with a mother and a step father ,since his father had died before he was born.Then he was three his mother left him with her grandma when…

Introduction In 1686, in the book, Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis, Sir Isaac Newton penned his three laws of motion. In the first law he states that, “Every body perseveres in its state of rest… unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed thereon.” (p. 83) His second law builds upon this principle, “The alteration of motion is ever proportional to the motive forces impressed.” (p. 83) Newton’s third law, perhaps the most famous, serves to tie the three…

In Isaac Asimov’s short story “Reason”, the author provides a detailed account of a robot’s creation and upbringing. The robot, named Cutie was created on earth and shipped to space in separate parts; therefore he has no knowledge of Earth or any other bodies in space. Cutie’s stubbornness and reasoned thinking led one of the scientists to comment, “Oh, Jupiter, a robot Descartes” (p. 51). Cutie has a lot of similarities with René Descartes. Both Cutie and Descartes possess infinite curiosity,…

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. …

As we learned in the text this week, no scientific hypothesis, theory or law is valid unless its predictions are in agreement with with experimental results (Shipman, 2016, p. 4). I think Sir Isaac Newton's application of the scientific method made him more successful in his research. Though there were others involved in the "scientific revolution" of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Newton stands out in his work reevaluating concepts of motion, and devising laws of motion that we still…

While attending physics class today, Jon learned about the story of a brilliant scientist, Sir Isaac Newton among with one of his most famous questions, “If the apple falls, does the moon also falls?” Born on December 25, 1642, Sir Isaac Newton was a renowned english physicists and mathematicians, who was best known for his law of gravitational forces. In 1665, as young Isaac sits under an apple tree, he realized the fall of an apple. He proclaimed that the force pulling the apple onto the…

As many people may know, Isaac Newton was a man of many talents, but he was most famous for his law of gravitation. As a result, he played a significant role in the scientific revolution of the 17th century. Isaac Newton became one of the most influential scientists in that century. He invented reflecting lenses for telescopes which produced clearer images. During his life, he went through many hardships. He had a mental breakdown before losing his mother in 1678. Isaac Newton transformed the…

In the story of Sir Isaac Newton that was aimed at children it made it seem like Sir Isaac Newton had started to think of the forces of gravity and laws of motion when he was a young boy. They showed him experimenting as a young boy and looking for a real world answer right away and never thought of a supernatural answer. However, in the Just The Facts video they claim that Sir Isaac Newton first believed this force to a supernatural power. Sir Isaac Newton believed gravity and motion came from…
