LASTING IMPACT
Sir Isaac Newton was a famous scientist, mathmetician and astronomer.He was born on the 4th of January 1643 in Woolsthorpe England and Died on March 31st 1727 in London. Isaac Newton was a deep thinker who wanted to find out more. He was curious. He became one of the most outstanding mathematician of his time. He discovered the theory of gravity as well as ideas about the nature of colour and light.
BIOGRAPHY:
First Law: An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This law is often called 'The law of inertia'
Second Law: Acceleration is produced when a forceacts on a mas. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed ( to accelerate the object)

Across the pages of the Principia,Isaac Newton breaks down the workings of the solar system into "'simple"' equations, explaining the nature of global orbits and the pull between heavenly bodies. In describing why the Moon orbits the Earth and not the other way around. This is because the Earth is so much heavier. The book literally changed the way people saw the universe.
The first law of motion means that there is a natural habit of objects to keep on doing what they are doing. All objects prevent changes in their state of motion. In the absence of an unbalanced force, an object in motion will continue this state of motion.The second law is known uncociusly by everyone. It means that heavier objects need more force to move the same distance as lighter objects. The third law means in every force, there is a reaction force that is equal in size, but opposite in direction. Which is to say that whenever an object pushes another object it gets pushed back in the opposite direction at an equal strength.
