Who is Isaac Newton?
In the 16th century, Galileo contributed considerably to the rapid advance of
science, especially mechanics. The year he died, another great scientist, Isaac Newton (1642
-1727) was born, destined to continue Galileo's great work. Like Galileo, Newton was
interested in experimental science, particularly that part of mechanics involving bodies in
motion.
Newton was the first person to study motion fundamentally. He studied and clarified
some of Galileo's ideas and proposed three laws of motion concerning relations between
force and motion.
Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a
straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is
normally taken as the definition of inertia.
The second law explains how the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an
external force. The law defines a force to be equal to change in momentum (mass times
velocity) per change in time.
The third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite
reaction.
Newton's third law of motion posits that for every force applied, there is always
an equal and opposite reaction. Or, if one body exerts a force on another, the
second body exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. It is not possible to
exert a force on a body without a reaction, and the reaction exerted by the body
is exactly equal to the force being applied to the body, neither more nor less.
