There were many tremendous scientists during the Scientific Revolution, however, Sir Isaac Newton and his law of gravity were most admirable. We will be talking about his history, what the Scientific Revolution is, and about Newton's law of gravity. To begin, Isaac Newton was born on December 25, 1642 in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. The son of a farmer, who died three months before he was born, Newton spent most of his early years with his maternal grandmother after his mother remarried. His education interrupted by a failed attempt to turn him into a farmer, from the age of twelve to seventeen he attended the King’s School in Grantham. He took a break and went a lived with his mother but soon came back to finish his education. In 1661 Isaac had been admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge. For years he attended the college gaining more knowledge every day. Initially, Isaac Newton was important because of his famous Law of Gravity. Well, the first time Newton proposed the Law of Gravity was during the Scientific Revolution. The Scientific …show more content…
The first law states that a body at rest tends to stay at rest; a body in motion tends to stay in motion unless compelled to change by an applied force. The second law states that the change in motion is proportional to the applied force and takes place in the straight line by which that force is applied. The final law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Armed with these solidified theories of dynamics, Newton proved that the force that acted on planets and moons was the same force that caused a stone to fall to the ground: gravity. He first demonstrated this by calculating that if one extended the same gravitational force that acted on objects on the surface of the Earth to the distance of the moon, it predicted nearly exactly the same orbit that was
