ISAAC NEWTON & HIS 3 LAWS OF MOTION

ABOUT NEWTON

• Born on January 4,1643 & died March 31, 1727.
• His dog set his laboratory on fire ruining 20 yrs of research.
• Born premature, not expecting to live.
• He was a Philosopher, Astronomer, Physicist, Scientist, Mathematician
• Went to University of Cambridge
• Was a stutterer .

NEWTON'S 1ST LAW OF MOTION

• Also known as "The law of inertia" - A still object will remain still unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
• An object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed & direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

NEWTON'S 2ND LAW OF MOTION

• Force= mass X acceleration
• Acceleration happens when a force acts on a mass.
• The greater the mass, the greater amount of force is needed.
• If you're trying to push a big box, you'll need more power to do so.

NEWTON'S 3RD LAW OF MOTION

• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
• For example, if you jump off a skateboard, it pushes you one way and it went in the other direction.

NEWTON'S CONTRIBUTION

• His discovery of calculus led the way to more powerful methods of solving mathematical problems . - askabiologist.asu.edu
