Lecture 17: On the Shoulders of Giants: Isaac Newton and the Laws of Motion
Update: 2007-10-12
Description
Copernicus, Kepler, Tycho, and Galileo together gave us a new way of
looking at the motions in the heavens, but they could not explain why
the planets move they way the do. It was to be the work of Isaac Newton
who was to sweep away the last vestiges of the Aristotelian view of the
world and replace it with with a new, vastly more powerful 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. Recorded 2007 Oct
12 in 1000 McPherson Lab on the Columbus campus of The Ohio State
University.
