2. Newton’s Legacy
Legacy is anything handed down from the past, like money possessions or simply an idea.
Newton’s 3 laws of motion are definitely apart of Newton’s legacy because that information was passed down from generation to generation.

3. Biography
Isaac Newton was a English Physicist, Mathematician, Astronomer, and natural philosopher, etc…, who was considered to be one of the greatest scientist who ever lived.
He was born December.25, 1642 and died March.20, 1727 at the old age of 84.
When he was alive Newton accomplished many thing such as the 3 fundamental laws of motion.
Newton was born and raised in England.
The thing I find the most interesting about Newton is the fact that he wasn’t a very bright teenager and he got smarter over time.
From wikipedia

4. Newton’s First Law
If the net force is zero then the velocity of the object is constant. Newton’s first law is usually called law of inertia.
This picture is an example of Newton’s first law because the dishes at rest remain at rest, the brief friction between the dishes and fast moving table cloth starts the dishes moving, so immediately as the table cloth is removed friction between the dishes and the table stops them. So the dishes and stuff stop moving once the table cloth has been pulled away.
Hewitt, page 33

5. Newton’s Second Law
Newton’s second law describes the relationship among an objects mass, an objects acceleration, and the net force of an object.
The picture represents Newton’s second law because as the apple uses force to push the orange in the stroller, the acceleration increases.
Hewitt, page 112

6. Newton’s Third Law
Newton’s third law describes the relationship between two forces in an interaction, the third law states that whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.
This picture represents Newton’s third law because the balloon had a reaction to the action of the balloons air being forced out of the balloon. As the air was pushed out of the balloon, the balloon was pushed up.
Hewitt, page 111
