He also invented infinitesimal calculus. Isaac newton also theorized the idea of light and color. The first law of motion was called law of inertia if it is at rest it will stay at rest unless an unbalanced force acts upon it, and a body in motion will stay in motion in the same direction and speed unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. The second law is acceleration, that happens then a force acts on a mass, the larger the mass the more force it takes to accelerate. The third and final law is, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
