An English physicist and mathematician who formulated laws on universal gravitation and motion
Isaac Newton
Published works of Newton
Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy) and Opticks
The first law states that any motion stays in motion unless there is an external force that stops it or changes its direction.
Law of Inertia
The second law defines force; force is a product of mass and acceleration
Law of Acceleration
For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.
Law of Interaction
The Principia by Newton Book 1:
Motion of bodies moving without resistance
The Principia Book 2:
Motion as a resisting medium
The Principia Book 3:
“System of the world”
Stated that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force equal to the product of the two particles’ masses (m1 and m2) divided by the square of the distance (d) between them
Law on universal gravitation
Universal constant of gravitation
G (6.673 x 10^-11 m^3/kg-s^2)
The impulse product of the force multiplied by the time acted on the body) is equal to
the change in momentum of the body
States that the momentum of a system before and after collision must be equal
Law of conservation of momentum
States that in an isolated system, the total energy remains constant over time
Law of conservation of energy
A French physicist who invented the torsion balance in 1777
Charles Augustin de Coulomb
A device used for measuring the force of magnetic and electrical attraction
Torsion balance
