Question

Mark the statement if it accurately describes Isaac Newton’s achievements.

A.
He was a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University.


B.


In his book, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, Newton laid out three laws of motion that are still the basis for studying how things move.


C.
As Newton went on developing his ideas in astronomy, mathematics, and physics, he became very unpopular and was often ridiculed for his works.

Answer 1

A- He was a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University.

B- In his book, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, Newton laid out three laws of motion that are still the basis for studying how things move.

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton entered Trinity College as an undergraduate in 1661 and became a Fellow in 1667. In 1669, he became Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, a position he held until 1701.

Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica

First published in 1687, Principia (Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica) is one of the most important books on natural philosophy in which Newton establishes the modern science of dynamics and outlines his three laws of motion.

Answer 2

Let's look at all the claims:

.
A. He was a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University.
- yes, this it true! (his position was called Lucasian Professor of Mathematics)

B. In his book, Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, Newton laid out three laws of motion that are still the basis for studying how things move.
- this is correct! those laws are known as Newton's laws of motion.

C.As Newton went on developing his ideas in astronomy, mathematics, and physics, he became very unpopular and was often ridiculed for his works.
-this is a complicated question: Newton's work was accepted, but he had a difficult personality, which made him rather unpopular- so I would mark the whole statement as also true.
