Document Summary

Developed the binomial theorem, 3 laws of motion, and a law of gravity. His laws are mathematical in form, universal in scope. Speed (v) = rate at which an object changes its position: 65 mph. Velocity ( = speed and direction of motion: 65 mph north. Acceleration (a) = rate at which an object changes its velocity: acceleration can involve. Increase in speed: decrease in speed, change in direction, ex. An apple falls from a tree at 9. 8 m/s2: ex. A ball is swung in a circle with radius r at a constant speed v a = If the string breaks, the ball flies in a straight line at a constant velocity. In the absence of outside force, velocity is constant. The acceleration of an objects is directly proportional to the force acting on it, and inversely proportional to its mass: f = ma. Gravity is an attractive force between all pairs of objects.
