1. Isaac Newton

3. His father was a wealthy, uneducated farmer who died three months before Newton was born. Newton's mother remarried and he was left in the care of his grandmother.

4. . He attended Free Grammar school; though Newton did not excel in school, he did earn the opportunity to attend Trinity College Cambridge where he wanted to study law.

6. As the years progressed, Newton completed his work on universal gravitation, diffraction of light, centrifugal force, centripetal force, inverse-square law, bodies in motion and the variations in tides due to gravity.

7. However, in 1679 his work came to standstill after he suffered a nervous breakdown. Upon regaining his health Newton returned to the University, and he became a leader against what he saw as an attack on the University by King James II. When William of Orange drove James out of England, Newton was elected to Parliament.

10. It was the force of attraction between two objects.

11. an object with more matter mass exerted the greater force, or pulled smaller object toward it. That meant that the large mass of the earth pulled objects toward it.

14. that heavier objects require more force to move the same distance as lighter objects. Newton used his theory in a mathematical equation, which is expressed forced is equaled to mass time’s acceleration.F = Mass x Acceleration

17. He proved that the planets were held in place by the sun’s gravity.
