Isaac loved everything about math and physics. Isaac is one of the greatest physicist who has ever lived. Isaac discovered many things during his lifetime but his most famous discovery was the three laws of motion named Newton’s Laws. Isaac is known as one of the most influential scientists of all time and an important figure in the scientific revolution. Isaac lived from 1643 to 1727. Isaac was born on January 4, 1643 in the tiny village of Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, Lincolnshire, England.

The 1st law is the law of inertia. This law stated that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by and unbalanced force. The 2nd law is the law of Mass and Acceleration. This law stated that the greater the mass of an object the more force needed to move it. This is equal to Force = Mass x Acceleration. The 3rd law is the law of Action Reaction. This law stated that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. These are the laws of motion that lie at the core of
