He was a key figure in the philosophical revolution known as the Enlightenment. gulnoor02032009 https://padlet.com/gulnoor02032009/s78u51pwiqky7ps0/wish/1889444640 2021-11-14 16:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/gulnoor02032009/s78u51pwiqky7ps0/wish/1889444640 Isaac Newton changed the way we understand the Universe. Revered in his own lifetime, he discovered the laws of gravity and motion and invented calculus. He helped to shape our rational world view. But Newton’s story is also one of a monstrous ego who believed that he alone was able to understand God’s creation. gulnoor02032009 https://padlet.com/gulnoor02032009/s78u51pwiqky7ps0/wish/1889451846 2021-11-14 17:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gulnoor02032009/s78u51pwiqky7ps0/wish/1889451846 Newton developed his laws of motion in 1666, when he was only 23 years old. In 1687, he presented the laws in his seminal work "Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis,” in which he explained how outside forces affect the movement of objects gulnoor02032009 https://padlet.com/gulnoor02032009/s78u51pwiqky7ps0/wish/1889454802 2021-11-14 17:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/gulnoor02032009/s78u51pwiqky7ps0/wish/1889454802 According to Newton’s Law of Cooling, the rate of cooling of a body is directly proportional to the difference in temperatures of the body (T) and the surrounding (T 0 ), provided difference in temperature should not exceed by 30 0 C. For a body of mass m, specific heat s, and temperature T kept in surrounding of temperature T 0; gulnoor02032009 https://padlet.com/gulnoor02032009/s78u51pwiqky7ps0/wish/1889457365 2021-11-14 17:09:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gulnoor02032009/s78u51pwiqky7ps0/wish/1889457365 His learning in school got the attention of many people. As a child, Isaac Newton had invented three things, which included a windmill that could grind wheat and corn, a water clock that was powered by water-drops, and a sundial, which can be seen today in the house in which he was born. gulnoor02032009 https://padlet.com/gulnoor02032009/s78u51pwiqky7ps0/wish/1889459272 2021-11-14 17:11:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gulnoor02032009/s78u51pwiqky7ps0/wish/1889459272 The Newtonian telescope, also called the Newtonian reflector or just the Newtonian, is a type of reflecting telescope invented by the English physicist Sir Isaac Newton (1642–1727), using a concave primary mirror and a flat diagonal secondary mirror. Newton's first reflecting telescope was completed in 1668 and is the earliest known functional reflecting telescope. gulnoor02032009 https://padlet.com/gulnoor02032009/s78u51pwiqky7ps0/wish/1889460488 2021-11-14 17:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gulnoor02032009/s78u51pwiqky7ps0/wish/1889460488 When Newton first began his studies at Cambridge, the common theory was that the water somehow dyed the sun's rays different colors. Using a lamp and a prism, Newton experimented by running white light through a prism to separate it into a rainbow of colors. The prism trick was nothing new, but scientists assumed the prism colored the light. gulnoor02032009 https://padlet.com/gulnoor02032009/s78u51pwiqky7ps0/wish/1889462638 2021-11-14 17:15:26 UTC https://padlet.com/gulnoor02032009/s78u51pwiqky7ps0/wish/1889462638
