Isaac Newton was a huge influence during the Scientific Revolution in the 17th century. His work changed how we understand physics and started the path for modern science.

Here are some important points about what he did:

• Laws of Motion: Newton created three important laws that explain how things move. These laws help us understand ideas like inertia (how things stay still or in motion) and action-reaction, and we still learn about them today.

  1. An object that’s not moving will stay still unless something pushes or pulls it.
  2. The force on an object is what you get when you multiply its mass by how fast it’s speeding up ($F = ma$).
  3. For every action, there’s a reaction that is equal and opposite.

• Law of Universal Gravitation: Newton explained how things in space and on Earth are connected. He said that every object pulls on every other object with a force that depends on how far apart they are.

Overall, Newton’s discoveries gave us a way to think about science logically. They helped many scientists in the past and changed how we see the universe!
