Sir Isaac Newton
Sir Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, near Grantham in Lincolnshire. He went to Grantham grammar school. When he was young, he was interested in mechanical devices than in studying. His youth inventions included, a water clock and a sundial. Isaac's father had died when he was three years old and left the family with little money. His widowed spouse soon remarried, leaving Isaac in the of his grandmother. She had three more children and widowed a second time. Since Isaac paid little attention to the family farm because he spent so much time reading, he was sent back to grammar school in Grantham. Later, in the summer of 1661, he went to Trinity College, at the University of Cambridge. He learned of the scientific revolution that had been going on in Europe through the work of Galileo, Nicolaus Copernicus, Johannes Kepler, and Rene Descartes. Newton received his bachelor's degree in 1665. Two years later after avoiding the plague, Newton return to Trinity College where he was elected to a fellowship in 1667. Newton received his master's degree in 1668. Newton retracted much of the established curriculum of the university to pursue his interest
Newton's second law of motion states what happens when a force is applied to a moving body. The change in motion depends on the force on the object. It also depends on the size of the force and the mass of the object. The greater the force, the greater the acceleration and the greater the mass of the object, the smaller the acceleration. Acceleration or deceleration of an object depends on the direction of the force. Newton's third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. There are many examples of this law that shows there is an equal and opposite reaction for every action. One application of this is a jet propulsion engine. It would rocket one way but would get an opposite reaction making it move an object in the opposite direction. An additional usage of Newton's law is a rotating lawn sprinkler that spins when water squirts out from their nozzles. As the water emerges from the nozzles, the arms are impelled in the opposite direction. A further use for Newton's third law of motion is a baseball being dropped. As the ball is falling to the ground, the earth will move toward the ball. Although, this would happen extremely fast and would be unable to be seen or even measured. Applications of the accomplishments in the world today.
