Movement. A lightning in heavens

you are: Movement

The Ingenious guess that a lightning in heavens and the tiny sparkle slipping between amber (if it poteret about a fabric) and a steel needle, - one nature, also belongs to Newton.

In 1703 it becomes the president of the London Royal society. Irrespective of Lejbnitsa, Newton has developed differential and integrated calculations.

The Base of classical physics of a steel three laws of mechanics (Newton's laws).

The First - the inertia law: any body stays at rest or uniform rectilinear movement until forces operating on it will not change this condition.

The Second - the proportionality law: product of weight of a body on its acceleration to equally operating force, and an acceleration direction coincides with a force direction.

The Third - the action and counteraction law: to action always corresponds equal on size and opposite directed counteraction; or: actions of two bodies against each other are always equal on size and are directed to opposite sides.

For All the joke how Newton in a garden observed apples falling from trees is known, and it has ostensibly pushed it on opening of one of the organic laws operating the nature, - the law world = ую=хэш ...

It, of course, only a joke for creation of the theory of gravitation was not a matter of luck, and a fruit of ingenious mind of the great physicist and the mathematician. This history, however, is quite plausible. Newton said that, having noticed, as the apple has fallen, it has asked itself(himself) a question: why it has fallen downwards, instead of aside or even upwards? Newton has answered, as any formed person of that time would answer that gravity of the Earth has forced an apple to fall in a direction of the centre of the Earth. (That fact that bodies fall to the centre of the Earth, was considered by many as the proof of that the Earth - the Universe centre.) Newton then has wondered: how action of this force is far stretched? At tops of mountains and hills it obviously operates. And how its action affects further? Whether it can reach the Moon? In other words, whether the Moon is similar to the huge apple, which all time is drawn to the Earth with force, just sufficient to prevent the Moon to depart on a tangent to a space?
