Early Life
This is the place where Isaac Newton was born.
Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England
Newton used these two main devices to study optics.
Lens and a prism.
Newton is known for having this many famous laws of motion.
Three
According to Newton's first law, objects will continue to move in a straight line forever unless a disturbance causes the object to stop. What is the resistance that one surface encounters when moving over another?
Friction
In 1704, Newton published his second major scientific work called ________ about light.
Opticks
Newton was once taken out of school to fulfill his birthright at this profession.
A farmer.
To describe things like movement and gravity mathematically, algebra and geometry are not enough, Newton developed his own mathematical method called __________.
Fluxions
Along with many of his discoveries and philosophies, Newtons laws of motion are described in his book titled, _____________.
Principia or Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica
What property of matter was later used to describe Newton's first law of motion?
Inertia
Newton was the first scientist to become _________. He can be referred to as Sir Isaac Newton.
knighted
At a young age, Newton was sent to attend this type of school in Grantham, England.
Grammar school
Fluxions are a form of computations that we continue to use in a branch of mathematics now known as _____.
Calculus
Newton's first law of motion states that every body either stays at rest or moves uniformly in a straight line unless __________________________.
Some other force acts upon it.
This formula is used to depict Newton's second law of motion.
F = ma or Force = Mass x Acceleration
Newton's investigations with light helped explain how this meteorological phenomenon is formed.
A rainbow.
This is the name of the university Newton attended.
Trinity College, Cambridge
During his investigation in optics, Newton created this invention.
Reflecting telescope, now known as the Newtonian telescope.
Newton's second law states that if something is already moving, a force can change its __________ or ________.
Newton's third law of motion states that to every action there is always an opposed and equal __________.
reaction
This law states that there is power in gravity tending to all bodies, proportional to the several quantities of matter which they contain.
Newton's law of universal gravitation
In 1665, Newton took his bachelor's degree at Cambridge without honors or distinction due to the university closing for two years because of_________________.
The Great Plague.
In a famous experiment, Newton allowed a beam of light through a prism and onto a wall. According to other philosophers, if light was homogenous one would see a white circle the same shape as the hole that allowed it through. Instead, Newton saw______________.
A wide multicolored band.
A ball on a hillside will stay there forever unless something causes it to move; and without any disturbances, it would move in a straight line forever. This statement is an example of which of Newton's laws of motion?
Newton's first law of motion.
When rowing a boat, one moves the water backwards with a paddle. The force of the paddle reacts with the water by pushing the boat in the opposite direction. This situation is an example of which of Newton's laws of motion?
Newton's third law of motion.
After publishing Principia, Newton was rewarded this job title. Here he helped to track down counterfeiters and oversee the nation's money supply.
Warden of the Mint
