Isaac Newton was born in the town of Wollsthorpe on the Eastern Coast of England in 1642. He went to school at Cambridge University in 1661. He was elected a Fellow of Trinity College in 1667, and Lucasian Professor of Mathematics in 1669. He was called the “father of science” and was very famous for creating his three laws of motion and gravity. He died in 1727. His first law is that any object moving at a steady speed in a straight line will continue moving at a steady speed in a straight line. Under these conditions, the first law says that the velocity of an object will not change unless it is pushed or pulled upon. This law also means that a motionless object will remain motionless unless pushed or pulled upon. If there is more than one force on the object in question, the forces add up and become a net force. If there is a strong force pushing left and a weaker one pushing right, then the overall net force will be to the left. Newton’s second law states that an object will change velocity if it is pushed or pulled. It first stated that if you do put force on an object, it will accelerate. It will then change velocity and will change velocity in the direction of the force. Second, the acceleration is directly proportional to the force. That means if you push the object three times as hard, the acceleration will be three times as much. Third, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. If you are putting the same amount of force on two objects, but one of the objects has three times the mass of the other, it will accelerate at one third the acceleration of the other. His third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. that means if you push on a desk, it will push back on you as hard as you are pushing on it. Also think of the flying motion of birds. If the bird is pushing air downwards the air must be pushing back up equally. The size of the force on the air is equal to the size of the force on the bird. This is a picture of Newton:
