Who Is Sir Isaac Newton And What Did He Discover That Made Him Famous?
Sir Isaac Newton was a very famous mathematician, physicist, astronomer and philosopher. His most known contributions to science (things that made him famous) are the concept of gravity and his three laws of motion. Newton’s First Law states that a stationery object would remain stationery until a net external force is exerted upon it. It is also known as the Law of Inertia. Newton’s Second Law states that force applied on an object equals its mass into the rate of change of its momentum (F=ma). Newton’s Third Law states that every action has an opposite and equal reaction. These laws govern classical mechanics. His other most famous claim to fame is the concept of gravity. He realized that there must be force which causes things to fall towards the ground (an apple in this case while he was sitting under a tree). Besides these, newton also studied the visible spectrum, speed of sound and invented the reflecting telescope. He is also known for his many contributions to calculus, especi
