Study Notes

Sir Isaac Newton was a renowned English scientist born in 1642, known for his contributions to various fields like physics, mathematics, astronomy, and more.
Newton's discoveries during the Scientific Revolution earned him the title of the father of modern science.
The famous story of an apple falling on Newton's head led to his discovery of gravity, which he used to explain planetary motion and other natural phenomena.
In 1687, Newton published "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy," discussing gravity, motion, mathematics, light, and sight.
Newton's three laws of motion are fundamental concepts in physics that have been tested and proven for centuries.
Newton's first law states that objects in motion stay in motion unless acted upon by a force, highlighting the concept of inertia.
Newton's second law introduces the equation F = ma, emphasizing the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration in determining motion.
Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, showcasing the principle of forces acting in pairs.
