Who was pictured in the very first Apple Computer logo?
Sir Isaac Newton is featured in the first Apple logo from 1976. The logo shows Newton sitting under an apple tree, and was only used for the Apple I computer. It was almost immediately replaced with a rainbow colored apple with a bite taken out of it.
What is the unbalanced force that affects the motion of a falling apple and the moon?
Newton knew that there was an unbalanced force acting on the moon and the falling apple through sheer logic. He realized that things only went down. The idea that what goes up must come down proved there was a scientific reason for this. He also realized there was a pressure or force in between objects that were standing still and whatever it was they were sitting on.The legend is that Newton made the connection between the two questions when he watched a falling apple. He knew that unbalanced forces are needed to change the motion of objects by changing the velocity of the objects. He concluded that an unbalanced force on the moon kept the moon moving circularly around Earth. Newton said that these two forces are actually the same force- a force that he called (gravity)
How did the apple fall out of the tree and onto Isaac newtons head?
This has actually been greatly speculated on, as Newton, according to his own memoirs never said he was hit in the head by an apple, but only saw that apples fell while in the garden. He then used it as an example to explain his hypothesis and then theory to others. "The weather being warm, we went into the garden and drank tea, under shade of some apple-trees, only he and myself. Amidst other discourses, he told me, he was just in the same situation, as when formerly, the notion of gravitation came into his mind. It was occasioned by the fall of an apple, as he sat in contemplative mood. Why should that apple always descend perpendicularly to the ground, thought he to himself. Why should it not go sideways or upwards, but constantly to the earth's centre." -From Memoirs of Sir Isaac Newton's Life pp19-20. It was pointed out on one forum that it was actually a gentleman by the name of John Conduitt, that had the 'gravity' revelation after his wife (Newtons niece), was struck on the head by an apple.
How did newton use observation of nature to explain the movement of the planets?
He once saw an apple falling from a tree, and he wondered whether the force that pulled that apple to earth might also control the movements of planets. In the next 2o years, Newton perfected his theory. Using mathematics, he showed that a single force keeps the planets in their orbit around the sun. He called this force gravity (:
How is science beneficial?
Science allows you to ask this stupid question. This website exists because of internet >> internet requires computers >> computers work because we understand quantum mechanics and other scientific theories >> science requires calculus >> calculus was invented by Newton >> Newton is well known because he was hit by a falling apple So you don't need science, only apples and a guy with poor reflexes.
What exact date did the apple fall on Newton's head?
First of all, Newton never stated the apple fell on his head, he only said that he began to think vigorously upon universal gravity while watching an apple fall from a tree. Newton also never stated even the year he had this experience (he recounted it to friends decades after the fact), but his notebooks show he began working on gravity in the late 1660s.
Why does an apple weigh 1 newton?
It's only a convenient way of remembering. An apple has a mass of about 0.1 kg and g is about 9.8 m/s/s. So F=mg. There ya' go!
What falling fruite supposedily inspired sir isaac newton to discover the laws of gravity?
It was an apple, and we know today what a fortunate accident that was. It's notwidely known that only four homes down the lane from Newton's cottage livedan elderly recluse by the name of Fabersham, who ... fully ten years beforeNewton ... had seen a nectarine fall from a tree in his orchard, and contemplatedit for a just a while before returning his attention to more pressing daily matters.
What is the motto of Isaac Newton?
only sit under an apple tree if your sure you will make a fascinating scientific discovery I'd heard that the motto of Sir Isaac Newton was: Hypothesis Non Fingo - I frame no hypotheses
Was Newton a Muslim?
Only Newton knows.
Did Newton really discover gravity sitting under an apple tree?
Almost certainly not. He made his great breakthrough whilst at home in Lincolnshire. (he had fled there from Cambridge University to avoid a nasty outbreak of plague). His only comment about how he discovered the theory was that "it was occasioned by the contemplation of the falling of an apple". He certainly saw an apple fall but it is more likely that he would have been indoors and seen the event through a window. He may even have had a previous experience of a falling apple come to mind when he was considering the problem. Bear also in mind that Newton was not averse to lies when it came to protecting his ideas. History paints him as a thoroughly unpleasant man who ruined the reputation of at least two of his most talented contemporaries ( Robert Hooke and Gottlieb Leibnitz). Any story of Newton's is to be taken with a pinch of salt. However, he was seriously brilliant (in ways it is hard to comprehend because no-one today could be so brilliant in so many different fields) and he could have been under a tree when it happened (Lincolnshire is a very rural county and a major food growing area. It does have orchards.
What impact Sir Isaac Newton have?
Sir Isaac Newton has cleared a path of discovery for not only other scientists but the future of this world. Discovering Gravity showed Rocket inventors what they needed to know, and discovering Motion helped every other inventor to build their models. Is anyone reading this doing a Sir Isaac Newton Project in LAC?
