The laws of motion include three different laws. The first law of motion is usually called the law of inertia. Basically in this law it means an object will remain at rest (inertia) unless a force acts upon the object. Basically this law is saying that if an object is sitting still or not moving, it will not show any sign of motion unless some type of force actually moves the object. The second law of motion is usually called the law of acceleration. This law explains how the velocity of an object changes when the object is exposed to a force that is external. F=ma is the relationship between acceleration and applied. Finally third law doesn’t really have another name for itself but this law explains what a force is. A force is a push or pull, and a force acts upon an object as a result of its interaction with another object. In this law it also says that for every action there is another reaction that is either opposite or equal to one another. Students today learn these laws in their everyday classroom, Sir Isaac Newton not only influenced the science world in 1687, but he influenced the science world …show more content…
This was thought of by Nicolaus Copernicus. During those times Galileo, Johannes Kepler, Nicolaus Copernicus and René Descartes built the foundation of a new science. Who were these scientists? Well, Galileo was the scientist who published “The Operations of the Geometrical and Military Compass,” “The Starry Messenger,” “Discourse on Bodies in Water” and “Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems,” Johannes Kepler was an astronomer who discovered the laws of planetary motion, Nicolaus Copernicus was the one to create the written work of “Commentariolus,” and René Descartes invented analytic geometry. The laws of motion influenced the discovery of the law of gravity in which was also published in his book “The Principia”. Not only did the laws of motion influence another discovery, but it influenced some scientists as well, for example the scientist William Hyde Wollaston was strongly influenced by Isaac Newton. Not only did his discovery of the laws of motion influence other scientists, his discovery of the law of gravity; which was based off the laws of motion; helped Edmond Halley calculate the Halley
