MATHMETICIAN AND ASTRONOMER

Isaac Newton was walking in his garden when he was struck by an apple that fell from his apple tree. This event led Sir Isaac Newton to explore gravity. This exploration

led to the 3 laws of motion. These 3 laws govern all movement.

From his apple falling due to gravity theory, he concluded that, "Whatever goes up, must come down!"

Newton stated his first law of motion as, "An object is in motion wants to stay in motion, and an object at rest wants to stay in rest."

REVIEW QUESTIONS:

ANSWERS

1. ISAAC NEWTON WAS SITTING IN HIS ORCHARD WHEN AN APPLE FELL FROM HIS TREE.

2. THE FIRST LAW IS CALLED THE LAW OF INERTIA WHICH STATES, “AN OBJECT WILL REMAIN AT REST OR MAINTAIN A SPECIFIC COURSE UNLESS AN OBJECT OR FORCE CHANGES IT COURSE”.

2. THE SECOND LAW STATES, “THE STRENGTH OF AN OBJECT IS EQUALLED TO MASS * FORCE”.

3. FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN OPPOSITE REACTION.
