Sir Isaac Newton and Three Law Of Motion
-Resume of Newton’s life and my point of view about the three law of motion

Jermaine R. Williams Fargas

Sir Isaac Newton, born  in 4 January 1643 and died in  31 March 1727 [OS: 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727]) was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian. For me he was one of the most influential men in human history and his invents and discoveries will be remembered forever. Sir Isaac is the author of one of one of the most influential book in the history, history of science. This book was published in 1687 and contents the basic concepts of universal gravitation and the three law of motion.This three law of motion describe totality any possible motion of anything. Newton’s laws of motion are studied for many peoples in many fields for example physic. This three law are Inertia law, the relation between force and chance in momentum and action and reaction law. Newton's First Law (also known as the Law of Inertia) states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and that an object in uniform motion tends to stay in uniform motion unless acted upon by a net external force. Newton's Second Law states that an applied force, on an object equals the rate of change of its momentum, with time. Newton's Third Law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that any force exerted onto an object has a counterpart force that is exerted in the opposite direction back onto the first object. For me is so interesting to learn more about this law because knowing it I can understand better many thing in my life.
 
Based in the history, Newton was a very controversial person. That is because he was a person decided in his beliefs and opinions. From 1670 to 1672, Newton lectured on optics. During this period he investigated the refraction of light, demonstrating that a prism could decompose white light into a spectrum of colors, and that a lens and a second prism could recompose the multicolored spectrum into white light. He also invented a reflecting telescope that he presented to the Royal Society in 1672. This telescope was created to check his concept about refraction of light.
Sir Isaac Newton was an exceptional human being that helps to improve the knowledge in many areas science, physic, astronomy etc. His discoveries are studied and analyze even today, 2009. For many scientific his most important discovery was the three law of motion. This three law was the base of many fields like physic and dynamic. For nobody was a surprise that Sir Isaac Newton was, being and will be an important person in the history and his legacy will remain forever.
