  1. Who was Isaac Newton?
  2. Isaac Newton was a physicist who is credited with developing the principles of modern physics. He was born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthrope, Lincolnshire, England. Sir Isaac Newton is credited with ideas on gravity, the diffraction of light and forces. He is best known for his work on the Three Laws on Motion.
  3.  
  4. First Law of Motion or The Law of Inertia
  5. The First Law of Motion states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
  6.  
  7. Scenario 1:
  8. An example of the First Law of Motion would a bowling ball hits the pins, An object will stay at rest until an unbalanced force acts upon it, This is showcased by the pins which stay idle on the lane until the bowling ball hits them. When the bowling ball hits the pins, it creates an unbalanced force which will cause the pins to move because the pushing force of the bowling ball is greater than the pin's resting force. Even though the ball was traveling at a consistent rate, its speed was changed when it came in contact with the stationary pins.
  9.  
  10. Second Law of Motion:
  11. The second law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables: the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.
  12.  
  13. This law of motion has an equation alongside it which is:
  14. Force= Mass x Acceleration.
  15.  
  16. Scenario 2:
  17. Think of shopping for groceries, it is easier to push an empty shopping cart compared to a full shopping cart with groceries. This is because an empty shopping cart has less mass than a full shopping cart thus making it easier to push. This means that you require more force to push a full shopping trolley than an empty trolley because of the larger mass.
  18.  
  19. Third Law of Motion:
  20. The third law of motion states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction that acts with the same momentum and the opposite velocity.
  21.  
  22.  
  23. Scenario 3:
  24. When you jump on a trampoline, the trampoline pushes back in the opposite and causes you to bounce up or when this balloon hits the ground, the ground pushes back up in the opposite direction causing the balloon to change direction and move in the opposite directions.
