25 December 1642 (4th of January 1643, as per the Gregorian calendar).
What is Newton's birthday?

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
What is the law of inertia?
100
He viewed the spectrum of colors through a prism, and after studying the phenomenon, concluded that color is an intrinsic property of light.
What is Newton's path-breaking theory on optics?
100
The scientist who gave us the Laws of Motion?
Who is Sir Isaac Newton?

Newton never married in his life, although he claimed of being once engaged.
What is did Newton ever marry?

November 30, 1703.
What is when did Newton accept the chair of the President of Royal Society?

Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).
What is Newton's 2nd law?
200
Building on his own theory of optics, he made the world's first reflecting telescope in the latter half of 1668.
What is the Newtonian telescope?

The law that explains why we need to wear seatbelts.
What is the first law of motion?

The story of a falling apple is actually popularized by the famous author Voltaire.

He obtained his bachelor’s degree.
What is August, 1665?

F=MA
What is FORCE = MASS times ACCELERATION?
300
Newton also formulated an empirical law of cooling, studied the speed of sound, and introduced the notion used to describe any fluid where the viscous stresses arising from its flow, at every point, are linearly proportional to the rate of change of its deformation over time.
What is Newtonian fluid?
300
The law that explains how rockets are launched into space.
What is the 3rd law of motion?

Newton's "apple falling due to gravity" theory.

April 16, 1705 by Queen Anne in Cambridge, which earned him the title ‘Sir’. He was honored knighthood not for his scientific achievements, but for his dedicated service for the Mint and for his political activities.

Mike's car, which weighs 1,000 kg, is out of gas. Mike is trying to push the car to a gas station, and he makes the car go 0.05 m/s/s. Using Newton's Second Law, you can compute how much force Mike is applying to the car. F=1,000 X 0.05=
What is 50 Newtons?
400
A theory which was later vindicated by the measurements of Maupertuis, La Condamine, and others. This in turn helped convince most Continental European scientists of the superiority of Newtonian mechanics over the earlier system of Descartes.
What is his prediction that the Earth was likely shaped as an oblate spheroid?
400
The law says that heavier objects require more force than lighter objects to move or accelerate them.
What is Second Law of Motion?
400
German mathematician Gottfried Leibniz.
What is who did Newton accuse of plagiarism?

20 March 1727 (31st of March, 1727, as per the Gregorian calendar).
What is when did Newton die?

For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.
What is Newton's 3rd law?
500
This would be used by future generations to describe bodies of knowledge that owed their existence to his theories.
What is the term "Newtonian"?
