A. Newton’s emotional troubles

B. Newton’s argument with Hooke

C. Newton’s work and life

D. Newton’s laws of physics

Newton’s Life and Laws-

7. Start of paragraph 7 of 9Newton’s three laws of motion are the foundation for today’s study of physics. The first law states what may today seem obvious, but at the time was revolutionary. An object at rest will stay at rest unless it is acted upon by an external force. In other words, a ball won’t soar across a soccer field unless someone kicks it, nor will a car drive down the road unless someone presses the gas pedal.

8. Start of paragraph 8 of 9Newton was not just interested in physics, however, and his work to understand light and optics revealed one of his greatest troubles. Isaac Newton could not handle criticism. In 1672, Newton published the book Opticks: Or, A Treatise of the Reflections, Refractions, Inflections and Colours of Light. It was ill-received by fellow-scientist Robert Hooke, who also studied light. Hooke believed light to be formed by waves, while Newton theorized it was formed by particles. Newton flew into a rage. In later years, he suffered a breakdown and withdrew from public life entirely. His work was everything to him, and when it was criticized, he suffered. Newton’s work cost him a great deal.

Will give if correct read the passage first of all, if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that [it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest, but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norgay gazed down upon the world from its summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.

Read the excerpt from "home front diary." jimmy simmons stopped by today to tell me that he had enlisted in the army. he asked me if i would write to him, and i said i would. i told him that i've been writing to my uncle arthur and susan's cousin john for about a year, and as an experienced correspondent i had some advice about all the censorship. "don't write down any information about your location or the number of soldiers in your unit because the censors will cut all of that away," i said. "in my experience, loose lips not only sink ships, they make letters look like snowflake decorations! ” well, he belly laughed over that one. how is the author's perspective different from jimmy's? the author has been to war and she can give jimmy advice. jimmy has become a soldier and does not believe the author’s advice. the author has experience writing to soldiers but jimmy does not. jimmy has more experience at letter writing than the author.
