Isaac Newton
Born: December 25, 1642
Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England
Died: March 20, 1727
London, England
English scientist and mathematician
Isaac Newton was an English scientist and mathematician. He made
major contributions in mathematics and physics (the study of the
relationship between matter and energy) and advanced the work of
previous scientists on the laws of motion, including the law of gravity.

The three laws of motion were first stated by Isaac Newton in his Philosophiæ
Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural
Philosophy), originally published in 1687.[3] Newton used them to investigate
and explain the motion of many physical objects and systems. In the time
since Newton, new insights, especially around the concept of energy, built the
field of classical mechanics on his foundations. Limitations to Newton's laws
have also been discovered; new theories are necessary when objects move at
very high speeds (special relativity), are very massive (general relativity), or
are very small (quantum mechanics).

Overview :
Newton’s laws of motion are three physical laws that, together, laid the
foundation for classical mechanics. They describe the relationship between a
body and the forces acting upon it, and its motion in response to those forces.
More precisely, the first law defines the force qualitatively, the second law
offers a quantitative measure of the force, and the third asserts that a single
isolated force doesn’t exist. These three laws have been expressed in several
ways, over nearly three centuries , and can be summarized as follows:

Fir
st In an inertial frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or
la continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force.
w:
Sec
In an inertial reference frame, the vector sum of the forces F on an
on
object is equal to the mass m of that object multiplied by the
d
acceleration a of the object: F = ma. (It is assumed here that the mass m
la
is constant – see below.)
w:
Th
When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body
ird
simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in
la
direction on the first body.

investigate the motion of many physical objects and systems For example, in
the third volume of the text, Newton showed that these laws of motion,
combined with his law of universal gravitation, explained Kepler’s laws of
planetary motion.

A fourth law is often also described in the bibliography, which states that
forces add up like vectors, that is, that forces obey the principle of
superposition.
