I. Complete the following text with the words in the brackets!

Isaac Newton
Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, astronomer, theologian, author, and
physicist, who is widely recognized as one of the most influential scientists of all time and a
key figure in the scientific (1) revolution. His book, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia
Mathematica is considered to be the most influential book in the history of science. In this
work, Newton described (2) universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, laying the
groundwork for classical mechanics, which dominated the scientific view of the physical (3)
universe for the next three centuries and is the basis for modern engineering. Newton
showed that the motions of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the
same set of natural laws by demostrating the consistency (4) between Kepler’s laws of
planetary (5) motion and his theory of gravitation.

(consistency, planetary, scientific, physical, described)

II. Short Answer Questions

1. A branch of physics that deals with the motion of objects is called physical
mechanics.
2. Force and velocity are example of physical quantities that have both magnitude and
direction. Such quantities are called the vector quantity.
3. Mass, volume, and speed are quantities that only have magnitude. Such quantities
are called the scalar quantity.
4. An object may store energy by virtue of its position. The energi that is stored and
held in readiness is called potential energy , while the energy that is associated with
the motion of an object is called kinetic energy
