Isaac Newton Research Paper

Isaac Newton was born at Woolsthorpe, England on December 25th 1642. When Newton was 12 to about 17 he went to Kings School where he learned latin but unfortunately no math. His mother pulled him out and wanted him to become a farmer. The school called back and asked him if he would go back to finish his education. He went back to finish his education, he was awarded a scholarship. He entered Cambridge University in 1661. He stayed there for eight years. While he was there he took a lot of Physics classes. He has obtained a B.A degree in 1665.Newton graduated with no honors or distinctions, his efforts won him the title of scholar and four years of financial support for future education.

Only 22 at the time, between 1665-1667 Isaac Newton

discovered Calculus, after the university broke down after the plague. His friend Leibniz who was from Europe, also helped him. He came to calculus after his investigations in Physics and Geometry. He thought Calculus was the scientific description of motion and magnitude. Leibniz saw it a different way, he thought it was metaphysical expansion of change. They were the first to conceive calculus system and made up descriptive terms. This enabled them to synthesize the insights around them in a math process.
In 1672 Newton created a different version of the refracting telescope, he replaced with mirrors instead of glass lenses.

His new telescope that he made was called the reflecting telescope. He thought that glass lens acts as a prism, its like taking a beam of light and looking inside it to find individual wave lengths. Newton built his telescope as proof that white light is composed of spectrum of colors. With his little telescope that he made he found that he could see four moons of Jupiter and the crescent shape of Venus. The telescopes kept growing and growing. In the early 18th century astronomers were using

reflectors.
Isaac’s biggest accomplishment and discovery was his three laws of motion, that is very important because the world around is filled with motion. It helps us understand why Science is Isaac Newton’s first law of motion was “When viewed in an inertial reference frame, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity unless acted by a outside force.” If a object is moving it continues to do so without changing the speed. Newton first law is often referred to as the law of inertia. For example if you have a bowling ball and a golf ball that are both at rest. The bowling ball would need more force to make it move than the speed of the golf ball. The more inertia a object has, the greater force needed to change it’s motion. The formula is that inertia equals to mass times the square of the perpendicular distance to the rotation axis. I=mr2
Newton’s second law says that the net force on a object is equal to the rate of change, of its linear momentum.

The formula is F=MxA which is net force is equal to mass of the body and a is the body acceleration. If the body is accelerating then there is a force on it. For example if you use the same force to push a car as you did the truck. You will have more acceleration than the truck because the car as less mass. It’s the reason why its easier to push a empty shopping Newton’s third law is “When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body. His third law says that all force between to two objects exist in equal magnitude and opposite direction. The action and the reaction, it does not matter which one it is we can not have either of them without the other. For example if you are walking across the floor there is a force between the floor and you and you and the floor. Its the same when you dive off a diving board, you push down on the springboard. The board springs back and forces you into the air. The formula is F1=-F2. The forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in

direction.
We have learned a lot from Isaac Newton, he taught us that even if your life is hard. You can overcome that and be smart and have a good life yourself. He had some amazing discoveries, he found the law of gravitation and with out him. We wouldn't understand how gravity and force affect us on earth. We also wouldn't have our understanding of Mathematics like we do today. Not married and no children, March 31, 1727 he died, at age 84.
