Lecture 17: On the Shoulders of Giants: Isaac Newton and the Laws of Motion
The work of Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo all contributed to a new way
of looking at the motions in the heavens, but did not explain why they
move that way. Enter Isaac Newton, who within a few years swept away
the last vestiges of the Aristotelian view of the world and replaced
with a new, powerfully predictive synthesis, in which all motions, in
the heavens and on the Earth, obeyed three simple, mathematical laws of
motion. This lecture introduces Newton's Three Laws of Motion and their
consequences. We are now ready, next week, to examine the role of
Gravity and finally explain the orbits of the planets. Recorded 2006
Oct 13 in 100 Stillman Hall on the Columbus campus of The Ohio State
University.
