PPT-Isaac Newton and Gravity

An Invisible Force Gravity Every object pulls on every other object with an invisible force called gravity There is gravity between you and your toy car but you wont notice it because it is so weak. Sir Isaac Newton died on 20 March 1727 and within 2 months James Thomson had prepared his “Poem sacred to the Memory of Sir Isaac Newton”, an unrestrained celebration of “Britain’s Laws of Motion. November 2011. Sir Isaac Newton. 1. Described 3 laws that relate forces to motion. 2. . Force. -a push or a pull, all forces have size and direction. Vocabulary. 1. . Friction. - a force that opposes motion between 2 objects that are touching. 4. – Newton and Einstein. ASTR 101. Prof. Dave Hanes. Newton . Succeeds!. The orbit of (newly-discovered) Uranus. Halley. ’. s comet (and others, later). The prediction of Neptune. The prediction of Pluto . AT AGE 18 HE ENTERED TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE AS A SIZAR. A SIZAR WAS KIND OF A “WORK-STUDY” ASSISTANTSHIP FOR TALENTED STUDENTS FROM POOR FAMILIES. THEY PAID NO TUITION BUT HAD TO PERFORM MENIAL, SOMETIMES DEMEANING TASKS AND WERE CONSIDERED SUBORDINATE TO TUITION PAYING STUDENTS. WHILE ARISTOTILEAN PHILOSOPY WAS EMPHASIZED THERE HE PREFERRED TO STUDY DESCARTE. HE ALSO IMMERSED HIMSELF IN THE STUDY OF COPERNICUS, GALILEO AND KEPLER ASTR 101. Prof. Dave Hanes. Orbiting Near, Around, . and Away from the Earth. Let’s consider:. Ballistic missiles on Earth. Artificial satellites. Geosynchronous satellites. Actually escaping the Earth. Isaac Newton (1642-1727). Galileo found that bodies with different masses experienced the same acceleration when dropped to the ground. But he didn’t know why.. Kepler. discovered that the motions of the planets were perfectly reproduced by 3 mathematical relations. Like Galileo, . David Sargent. October 21, 2012. Mars Science Laboratory - MSL.

Indian mathematicians excelled for thousands of years, and eventually even developed advanced techniques but they are denied credit because of Western ascendancy. Among the Hindu mathematicians, Aryabhatta may be most famous. During Europe’s “Dark Ages”, Aryabhatta advanced arithmetic, algebra, elementary analysis, and especially trigonometry, using the decimal system. Aryabhatta is occasionally known as "Father of Algebra“. His most famous accomplishment in mathematics was the Aryabhatta Algorithm for solving Diophantine equations. Aryabhatta made several important discoveries in astronomy. He was among the ancient scholars who realized the Earth rotated daily on an axis. . Astronomy, Chapter 2.

It is a universal force that causes all objects to pull on all other objects everywhere. Do They Move?. In 1704 Sir Isaac Newton . began to understand that atoms or particles move and are not stationary. .. Isaac Newton. (. n.d.. ).
