Sir Isaac Newtons Life

4. Newton was educated at The King's School, Grantham. (where his alleged signature can still be seen upon a library window sill)

1. Sir Isaac Newton was born on 25 December 1642. 2. He was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian, who has been "considered by many to be the greatest and most influential scientist who ever. 3. Newton described the universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries.

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 remains constant unless the body is acted upon by an external force. 2. Second law: The acceleration a of a body is parallel and directly proportional to the net force F and inversely proportional to the mass m, i.e., F = ma. 3. Third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear.
