ISAAC NEWTON
Paulina, Alissa, Daniel, Jayson
CONTRIBUTIONS
-He discovered many laws and theories that gave future scientists the proper tools to enter space.
-Isaac Newton had many contributions to physics. The three Laws of Motion were some of his main contributions. He discovered these laws in 1687 and without the laws Newton discovered we would not be as far as we are today in modern physics.
-first law states that an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
-second law of motion states that the greater the mass the greater amount of force needed to accelerate the object.
-third law of motion is for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
-He was the first to propose a set of laws that described the motion of all things in the universe.
-He came up with the Binomial Theorem and was one of the two creators of calculus.
These discoveries represented a quantum leap in the fields of math and science allowing for calculations that more accurately modeled the behavior of the universe than ever before. This basic knowledge would soon help Albert Einstein to be able to make the discovery of the Theory of Relativity and Nuclear Fission.
