  1. England

    He discovered that white light is actually made from all the colors. He used a prism to split the light into the rainbow.

    1. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion, in a straight line, until a force acts on them. Objects at rest stay at rest till a force acts on them.

    2. Force=mass X acceleration

    3. For every force there is an equal and opposite force.


  2. 1. Woolsthorpe, England.

    2. He showed that white light comprises of 7colours (VIBGYOR).

    3.

    a) A body continues to be in its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force

    b) the force is proportional to its mass and its accelaration

    c) every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

  3. 1. Earth.

    2. White light is colorful.

    3. Watch. Apples. Fall.

    Sorry, had to be creative.

  4. 1.Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire , England on Christmas Day.

    2.Newton’s first experiments with a prism called this view of white light into question. Passing a beam of sunlight through a prism, he observed that the beam spread out into a colored band of light, called a spectrum. While others had undoubtedly performed similar experiments, Newton showed that the differences in color were caused by differing degrees of a property he called refrangibility. Refrangibility is the ability of light rays to be refracted, or bent by a substance. For example, when a ray of violet light passes through a refracting medium such as glass, it bends more than does a ray of red light.

    3.Isaac Newton used three laws to explain the way objects move. They are often call Newton’s Laws. The First Law states that an object that is not being pushed or pulled by some force will stay still, or will keep moving in a straight line at a steady speed. It is easy to understand that a bike will not move unless something pushes or pulls it. It is harder to understand that an object will continue to move without help. Think of the bike again. If someone is riding a bike and jumps off before the bike is stopped what happens? The bike continues on until it falls over. The tendency of an object to remain still, or keep moving in a straight line at a steady speed is called inertia.

    The Second Law explains how a force acts on an object. An object accelerates in the direction the force is moving it. If someone gets on a bike and pushes the pedals forward the bike will begin to move. If someone gives the bike a push from behind, the bike will speed up. If the rider pushes back on the pedals the bike will slow down. If the rider turns the handlebars, the bike will change direction.

    The Third Law states that if an object is pushed or pulled, it will push or pull equally in the opposite direction. If someone lifts a heavy box, they use force to push it up. The box is heavy because it is producing an equal force downward on the lifter’s arms. The weight is transferred through the lifter’s legs to the floor. The floor presses upward with an equal force. If the floor pushed back with less force, the person lifting the box would fall through the floor. If it pushed back with more force the lifter would fly into the air.

    hope that helped

  5. google was invented for a reason, wikipedia~although its a little bad would help o.o
