What was Isaac Newton best known for?

Answer 1

Sir Isaac newton is best known for discovering the law of gravity, creating the field of calculus, and finding out that white light is composed of many colors. He is also really known for inventing three standard laws of motion, referred to as "Newton's Laws"

HI

Answer 2

Isaac Newton was famous for the laws of Gravitation and motion. He invented a new branch of mathematics celled calculus, and reveal the secrets of light and color all in an eighteen month period.

Answer 3

Sir Issac Newton was famous for the reflecting telescope, his 3 laws of motion, articulation of the law of gravity, and invention of a form of the calculus

In mechanics Newton enunciated the principles of conservation of momentum.

Answer 4

Isaac Newton was commonly known for his contribution to mechanics and physics, but he had a large and significant role in the discovery and theory of optics. Newton is known for discovering gravity after supposedly sitting under a tree when an apple fell onto his head. He was the first person to lay down the laws of force. He also discovered that a white light is made up of all the other colours not the lack of them. He is also famous because he represented in parliament and was once the headmaster of the royal mint. He was also able to explain the three laws of motion (motion of planets).this influential physicist also was able to clarify a universal theory of gravitation . In mathematics he discovered 'calculus' but unfortunately beaten to the race to publish the theory. His contributions include the Three Laws of Motion and universal gravitation theory. He built the first refracting telescope. He was also a professor at Cambridge.

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.

Answer 5

Sir Isaac Newton, FRS (4 January 1643 - 31 March 1727 [OS: 25 December 1642 - 20 March 1726])[1] was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist, and theologian and one of the most influential men[4] in human history. His Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, is considered to be the most influential book in the history of science. In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, laying the groundwork for classical mechanics, which dominated the scientific view of the physical Universe for the next three centuries and is the basis for modern engineering. Newton showed that the motions of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws by demonstrating the consistency between Kepler's laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation, thus removing the last doubts about heliocentrism and advancing the scientific revolution. In mechanics, Newton enunciated the principles of conservation of momentum and angular momentum. In optics, he built the first "practical" reflecting telescope[5] and developed a theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into a visible spectrum. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling and studied the speed of sound. In mathematics, Newton shares the credit with Gottfried Leibniz for the development of the differential and integral calculus. He also demonstrated the generalised binomial theorem, developed the so-called "Newton's method" for approximating the zeroes of a function, and contributed to the study of power series. Newton was also highly religious (though unorthodox), producing more work on Biblical hermeneutics than the natural science he is remembered for today. Newton's stature among scientists remains at the very top rank, as demonstrated by a 2005 survey of scientists in Britain's Royal Society asking who had the greater effect on the history of science, Newton or Albert Einstein. Newton was deemed the more influential.[6]
