Isaac Newton is regarded as a leader in present day society for his studies of optics, theories of gravity, and his contributions to the study of mathematics also known as calculus (“Isaac Newton Biography - Newton's Life, Career, Work”). His discoveries and advancements help stimulate modern day advancements in architecture and create a new chain of events that led the world to what we can see today in a sense of every detail (Whipps). To some, his contributions appears trivial and worth little in preference to those “big” inventions such as video games and smart phones. Even though some may not realize it, Isaac Newton’s finding and discoveries of various principles unknown to mankind at the time may have revolutionized the future for the …show more content…

Even in the past, people were looking for solutions and the principle of gravity served as the foundation for possible solutions required like when the Chinese and the Mongols in their efforts to create the rocket or the Europeans trying to make weapons out of new discoveries (Space Administration paragraph 4). Isaac Newton was the father of most of these discoveries because his studies have been shown other to other inventors and scientists’ new possibilities to improve upon their own working models or to make one themselves (“Brief History of Rockets”). In present terms, the laws of gravity and motion are extremely present in modern infrastructure ("EARTHQUAKE EFFECTS ON BUILDINGS 4"). An example of this is on Earthquakes where when there is an earthquake, a building will shake and the second law of motion, force times mass equals acceleration, and the building will shake and collapse just as a plane will collapse 100 ft. up in the air ("EARTHQUAKE EFFECTS ON BUILDINGS 4"). If someone takes a close look around them, they would realize everything is made from the principles of gravity and math combined (“Newton’s Law of Motion”). The clothes we are wearing, the house you live in, the phone you are using, the chair someone is sitting in, the …show more content…

The first rule states that a moving object remains stationary (still or unmoving) until force is applied to it. Once set in motion, it moves in a continuous speed until it strikes another object ("Newton's Laws of Motion | How Things Fly"). The second law of motion states that acceleration and force are related in a simple equation, force is equivalent to mass times acceleration ("Newton's Laws of Motion | How Things Fly"). The last law of motion supports that every actions has an equal and opposite reaction like when a person applies force to a book ("Newton's Laws of Motion | How Things Fly"), the book is also exerting an opposing force to the opposing object ("The Apple, the Moon, and the Inverse Square
