    Isaac Newton was born on 4 January 1643 

in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire. He lived to be 84 

and then died on March 31st, 1727. His father 

died 2 months prior to his birth. He never had 

any blood-related siblings because of his 

father's early death. He did, although, have 

three half-siblings. Mary, Hannah, and 

Benjamin, which he left most of his property 

to. He attended Cambridge where he was a 

mathmatician and was noticed for his scientific 

abilities orginally.

Sir Isaac Newton was the founder of the 3 

Newton's Laws. The first one states that an 

object will stay in motion unless a force acts 

upon it and a object will stay at rest until a 

force acts upon it. The second law is force = 

mass x acceleration. The third law is every 

action there is an equal and opposite reaction. 

He also was known for the reflecting 

telescope,   color theory, calculus, law of 

cooling, and law of universal gravitation. 

The first law states that objects will stay in 

motion or at rest until a force acts upon it. 

Basically, a marble will keep rolling forever if 

friction (a force) were to never act upon the 

marble. It would just keep rolling forever. 

And if a marble was at rest, it would stay at 

rest until a force strong enough to move it 

(ex: wind) were to push it. This is called 

inertia. It is the tendency to stay in motion or 

at rest.

This picture show friction acting upon a 

moving ball that will eventually stop.
