With all the things that Isaac Newton did some of his most renowned works was with that of gravitation. Newton was one of the foremost scientific intellects so fall time. Newton is also considered one of, if not the most influential astronomers of all time (web 1). Besides his contributions to this field he gave physicists an easier way and more comprehendible way of doing physics. This was due to these three laws that he came up with that where named after him. They were as follows:
Newtonís First Law
A body at rest will remain at a rest or a body in motion will remain in constant motion unless a force is applied to it.
Newtonís Second Law
F=ma
(Force= Mass x Acceleration)
(One of the most used equations in physics)
Newtonís Third Law
For every force there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Newtonís first law applies to anything that is in motion or standing still.
