Sir Isaac Newton (1643-1727) was the founding father of Newton’s Three Laws of Motion. Newton was a well known man during his time and still is today. Newton was a published author, mathematician, astronomer, alchemist, and natural philosopher. He was said to have been inspired by simply and apple falling from a tree. His first law describes inertia; his second law describes how an object will change with an applied force and his third law states that each object has an equal and opposite reaction force.
