2. Newton’s Legacy Legacy: The process of handing down something from the past. Whether it is a personal object, money, or an idea. Newton’s Legacy was the 3Laws of motion which have been passed down from generation to generation. His laws of motion have been taught to various amount of people which has now lead to it being taught to us.

3. Biography Isaac Newton was a premature baby born on December 25, 1642. He was born at his mother’s farm house in Woolsthorpe, England. As a teenager Newton wasn’t very bright and was taken out of school to work at his mothers farm. Encourage by his uncle, Isaac Newton studied at the University of Cambridge for 5years and graduated. At the age of 23-24, he began to lay the foundations of physics. By observing many things, Newton later formulated the law of universal gravitation, invented calculus, and continued Galileo’s work which lead to the development of three fundamental laws of motion. Isaac Newton was an English Physicist, Natural Philosopher, and considered to be one of the greatest scientist.

4. The Law of inertia basically states that every object continues in a state of rest. However this changes if the object is acted on by a nonzero net force. The picture is an example of Newton’s First Law because the dishes on top of the table are at rest. If the table cloth is removed from the table properly, it will be observed that the short and small forces of friction are not significant enough to move the dishes. The small amount of friction between the dishes and the moving table cloth, will bring motion to the dishes. However the when the tablecloth is moved from the table, friction is removed between the dishes and the table stops moving. Newton’s First Law- Inertia

5. Newton’s Second Law- Force & Acceleration Newton’s Second Law is about the relationships between an object’s mass, its acceleration, and the net force of the object. This picture represents Newton’s Second Law because force made contact with the football, causing it to move. When the football is kicked it neither stays at rest or moves in a straight line.

6. Newton’s Third Law- Action & Reaction All actions have an opposite reaction to it. For example, a person pulling an elephant. As the person uses force to pull the elephant, the elephant pushes on the ground. In the picture the car is pushing against the ground in one direction, while the ground is pushing against the tires in one direction.
