Newton ’s laws of motion Newton ’s laws of motion are three physical laws that form the basis for classical mechanics. They describe the relationship between the forces acting on a body and its motion due to those forces. They have been expressed in several different ways over nearly three centuries and can be summarized as follows: 1. First law: The velocity of a body (a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line) remains constant unless the body is compelled to change that state

Introduction Isaac newton—English astronomer‚ physicist‚ mathematician‚ and scientist—became interested in science as a boy and even invented several devises while he was still young. He attended Cambridge University and later taught there. In Optics‚ newton published his principles of light and colour‚ and in his mathematical principles of natural philosophy (also known as the principia)‚ he discussed the laws of motion and the theory of gravity. Besides his scientific study‚ he spent much time

Isaac Newton once said‚ “I have stood on the shoulders of giants.” Explain this statement and explain how Newton was the product of time and circumstance. When Isaac Newton said‚ “I have stood on the shoulders of giants‚” he demonstrated that he knew his place in the scientific community. In the relay race of astronomic science‚ Newton was the last of the runners to be passed the baton‚ and he‚ adding to the work of many great scientific minds before him‚ sprinted the home stretch. Newton understood

Newton Jeanette Winterson’s Newton describes the isolation of her “stranger”‚ Tom. In Newton‚ Winterson uses imagery to show Tom’s differences in contrast to those of his neighbors. Tom’s conflict lies between his neighbor and he due to the way he doesn’t fit in. Winterson adds in Albert Camus L’Étranger in which Camus’ character‚ Meursault‚ finds himself a stranger in his own society.
