Wouldn’t life be crazy if we didn’t have gravity! My essay will be stating information you might not have known about Isaac Newton. Many people know him of Newton’s Laws. I will be going into more description like family, education, and further more. He began his studies around the early age of 16. Newton was incredibly smart for his age group! The way I imagined gravity would be like the moon, everything and everyone floating around without a gravitational pole. Farming life would be incredibly difficult to nearly impossible just to grow the necessities we need and use. Without gravity, there would be so much pressure that we could actually blow up. Gravity is the force that attracts a body towards the center of the earth, or toward any

    Newton knight was a farmer in mississippi who fought for freedom and secession of Jones county. Knight and the people of jones county put their lives so they could be free from the grip from the confederacy. The confederacy took many of non-slave farmers and put their lives on the front line to fight for what they didn’t even believe in. Knight opposed the state seceding from the United States, saying that white farmers like himself did not support slavery. He was a man of individual rights and equality, which was what the united states did not have at the time.

Gravity is also essential to any machine, because they generally need a solid ground to be on. If you were to use a catapult without gravity, you would fling the payload and it would keep flying. It would never hit the ground. Gravity is essential to the success of catapults and just about everything else.

  • The Man that Created the Laws of Motion

    1666 Words  | 4 Pages

    Sir Isaac Newton, the man that helped people figure out why things move and how they move, had a very interesting life. In the beginning of his early life, he dealt with hardships, and progressed to be an extremely inspiring man later in his life. In college he had many breakthroughs with his scientific works, including the laws of physics that we still use today. His life has answered many of people’s scientific questions that are still being asked today in physics’ classrooms all around the world. His discoveries have helped people for over 350 years to know and understand why things move the way they move, and stop the way they stop. Newton’s works comprise of the Principia and many other important publishing’s that he started when he was just in college. Newton’s life was full of discoveries, from his life as a minor to the years later in his life when he became an important individual in the government and changed the world, as we know it today.

  • Isaac Newton And His Three Law

    1386 Words  | 3 Pages

    Isaac Newton’s story of how an apple falling from a tree that hit his head inspired him to formulate a theory of gravitation is one that all school children grow up hearing about. Newton is arguably one of the most influential scientific minds in human history. He has published books such as Arithmetica Universalis, The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms, Methods of Fluxions, Opticks, the Queries, and most famously, Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia MathematicaHe formulated the three laws of gravitation, discovered the generalized binomial theorem, developed infinitesimal calculus (sharing credit with Gottfried Wilhelm Von Leibniz, who developed the theory independently), and worked extensively on optics and refraction of light. Newton changed the way that people look at the world they live in and how the universe works.

  • The Influence of Galileo’s Scientific and Mathematical Discoveries

    1437 Words  | 3 Pages

    What would the world be like without the knowledge of the solar system? No one would land on the moon and no research would go into the effects of the sun’s gravity on the earth. Also, what would happen if Galileo never studied the laws of moving objects or their mathematical effects? Many of the advanced technologies of today are contingent on this fact. Galileo Galilei was an astronomer, physicist and mathematician who was influential because of the complex discoveries that he made and the knowledge he bequeathed to the modern world. He was one of the key figures in providing information to the scientific revolution and was important during the Renaissance. Also, he contributed to physics, mathematics and astronomy because of the discoveries he proved through extensive experimenting. Many would consider this great man to be very important in the studies he pursued. This is why he is listed as number twelve in Michael Hart’s book The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History.

  • Summary Of Isaac Newton's Laws Of Motion

    974 Words  | 2 Pages

    Sir Isaac Newton was in my mind one of the greatest people who ever lived. He was born in 1642 and died in 1727. He formulated three laws of motion that help explain some very important principles of physics. Some of Newton 's laws could only be proved under certain conditions actual observations and experiments made sure that they are true. Newton 's laws tell us how objects move by describing the relationship between force and motion. I am going to try to explain his first law in more simple terms.

    Sir Isaac Newton, a space expert, mathematician, and a scientist is depicted to be one of the best names in the history of human thought. Newton, born on December 25, 1642, in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England, was interested in making mechanical toys as a young man. He even designed an amazing, little windmill, which would grind wheat and corn, at a youthful age. Newton explored beyond the secret facts of light and color, discovered gravity, and even found another type of mathematics, called calculus. It was Newton that had clarified why a rock is heavier than a pebble, and how earth 's gravity could hold the moon in its orbit.

    I was browsing Reddit when I stumbled across two photos one of Earth viewed from Saturn and of the rolling hills on Mars, they made me think back on the time when I went camping in my trailer in the Poconos. Like those pictures they made me think about how tiny and fragile and tiny Earth was. The tininess of the Earth reminds me of my fears with coming to Kutztown I was and am afraid I will get lost among the thousand of student just like a star floating in space. I was ten on our trip to the trailer in the woods.

    Astronauts also felt a sense of weightlessness while on the moon, and this just added to the myth. The truth is that the moon DOES have gravity, but is is about ⅙ of Earth’s gravity. The moon has to have gravity, or there wouldn’t be tides. The moon also has an effect on stabilizing the Earth. Earth wobbles as it rotates, but having the moon close by stabilizes it, making the wobble a lot less. Without the moon, Earth would wobble much more, which could have an effect on us and all life on Earth. (Jakobsen) Everything that has mass has gravity. There really is no such thing as “zero gravity”, although there is a such thing as microgravity. This is the floating people experience in space. They are experiencing gravity, but it is too low to have an effect on

    So pretty much in a nutshell, without chemistry we would be absolutely no where today. Our technology is so ridiculously advanced I don’t see how it could get any more advanced. But yet some how our scientists keep on and on trying to come up with some crazy new invention that is supposed to make our world some type of way better. The way I see it from my point of view, our world can not get any more advanced than it is now. But chemistry still keeps on amazing me and hasn’t failed yet. So I am pretty interested in seeing what in the world chemists are going to be working on for the next big thing. Finally, to sum up this paper, Chemistry makes our world go round. Without it, we would still be sitting in the dark.

  • Biography of Isaac Newton

    1065 Words  | 3 Pages

    Sir Isaac Newton Jan 4 1643 - March 31 1727 On Christmas day by the georgian calender in the manor house of Woolsthorpe, England, Issaac Newton was born prematurely. His father had died 3 months before. Newton had a difficult childhood. His mother, Hannah Ayscough Newton remarried when he was just three, and he was sent to live with his grandparents. After his stepfather’s death, the second father who died, when Isaac was 11, Newtons mother brought him back home to Woolsthorpe in Lincolnshire where he was educated at Kings School, Grantham. Newton came from a family of farmers and he was expected to continue the farming tradition , well that’s what his mother thought anyway, until an uncle recognized how smart he was. Newton's mother removed him from grammar school in Grantham where he had shown little promise in academics. Newtons report cards describe him as 'idle' and 'inattentive'. So his uncle decided that he should be prepared for the university, and he entered his uncle's old College, Trinity College, Cambridge, in June 1661. Newton had to earn his keep waiting on wealthy students because he was poor. Newton's aim at Cambridge was a law degree. At Cambridge, Isaac Barrow who held the Lucasian chair of Mathematics took Isaac under his wing and encouraged him. Newton got his undergraduate degree without accomplishing much and would have gone on to get his masters but the Great Plague broke out in London and the students were sent home. This was a truely productive time for Newton.
