What can you find out about Sir Isaac Newton and his theories?

  1. NEWTON HAD 3 UNIVERSAL LAWS

    According to Newton's first law...

    An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
    This law is often called
    "the law of inertia".

    According to Newton's second law...

    Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).

    According to Newton's third law...

    For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.

  2. Newton was born on Christmas morning and he was not that lucky because around those times the Civil war was going on also maybe around the Plague. It is amazing that he discovered gravity and forces you may think that wow how can someone create gravity it is a really good topic to be working on.

  3. •Born in England, Isaac Newton was a highly influential physicist, astronomer, mathematician, philosopher, alchemist and theologian.In 1687, Newton published Philosophae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, what is widely regarded to be one of the important books in the history of science. In it he describes universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, concepts that remained at the forefront of science for centuries after.Newton’s law of universal gravitation describes the gravitational attraction between bodies with mass, the earth and moon for example.Newton’s three laws of motion relate the forces acting on a body to its motion. The first is the law of inertia, it states that ‘every object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force’. The second is commonly stated as ‘force equals mass times acceleration’, or F = ma. The third and final law is commonly known as ‘to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction’.

  4. He published his laws of motion and universal gravitation in Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, commonly known as the 'Principia', in 1687. Newton's second law shows how an object will be effected if an external force does act upon it.

  5. Occupation: Scientist, mathematician, and astronomer
    Born: January 4, 1643 in Woolsthorpe, England
    Died: March 31, 1727 in London, England
    Best known for: Defining the three laws of motion and universal gravitation

    Early Life

    Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, England on January 4, 1643. His father, a farmer who was also named Isaac Newton, had died three months before his birth. His mother remarried when Isaac was three years old and left young Isaac in the care of his grandparents.

    Isaac newton mother wanted Isaac to be a farmer like his father ,however Isaac had no interest for being a farmer.
    Isaac grew up mostly alone so he would prefer to work and live alone.

    3 laws
    First law
    An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
    Second law
    Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass.
    Third law
    For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.

  6. Isaac Newton discovered gravity. He was born on the 4th January in 1643. His father died a few months before he was born. When Isaac was 3 his mother rejected him and abandoned him into another family. The month he discovered gravity was in July. He sat under an apple tree when suddenly an apple dropped on to his head, that date was 1666. His mother wanted him to become a farmer but he had no interest. He owned more books on historical subjects than on science. He suffered two nervous breakdowns and invented the cat flap.
