  • Newton was born on January 4, 1643, in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England.
  • Newton was the only son of a prosperous local farmer, also named Isaac, who died three months before he was born. When he was 3 years old, his mother, Hannah Ayscough Newton, remarried a well-to-do minister, Barnabas Smith, and went to live with him, leaving young Newton with his maternal grandmother.
  • Newton studied at Trinity College, Cambridge
  • He observed apples falling from a tree and realised that the force produced by a falling apple is equal to its mass times the earth's gravitational pull.
  • The gravity equation explains that any particle of matter in the universe attracts any other with a force varying directly as the product of the masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them.In symbols, the magnitude of the attractive force F is equal to G multiplied by the product of the masses (m1 and m2) and divided by the square of the distance R.
  • Gravity is an invisible force that pulls objects toward each other. Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what makes things fall.
  • F=G · m1 m2/r2
  • His three greatest discoveries are the theory of universal gravitation, the nature of white light and calculus.
  • Newton’s three laws of motion set the foundation for modern classical mechanics.My discovery of the gravitational force gave man the ability to predict movements of celestial objects.
