Forces Continued..............

1. Isaac Newton
Who: Isaac newton was an established physicist and a mathematician who is credited and was one of the great minds of the 17th Century Scientific revolution. He discovered the optics, the motion and the mathematics. He also developed the principles of physics. 

Where: He was born at 4th January 1643 in Woolsthorpe by Colsterworth, United Kingdom and died at 20th March 1727 in Kensington, London, United Kingdom.

How is his work related to forces: Newtons Laws
Newtons laws:
Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.
The second law explains how the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an external force. The third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.
If an object stays still or keep moving in a straight line it will stay the same except a force acts on it.

2.'G' Forces
A G force is a force that acts on a body as a result of acceleration or gravity. For example, when you ride a roller coaster as you go down in a high obsticle you will feel the force pushing you against to your seat.
