Test 15

Read the following text and answer the questions given below it.

The year was 1665. A young man returned to his native village, Wools Thorpe, for holidays. One day, the young

man was sitting under an apple tree in his mother’s beautiful garden. Suddenly, he saw an apple falling to the

ground. He began to wonder why the apple fell towards the ground. Why did it not go left, right or upward?

Why all the bodies fell towards the earth? He concluded that there must be some force that attracts all things

towards the earth. He also concluded that all bodies, from the lightest petal to the highest star, attract each other

by some force. Do you know who that young man was? He was the world famous scientist Sir Issac Newton.

On the basis of the falling apple, Newton gave his famous ‘Law of Universal Gravitation’. According to this

law, everybody in this universe attracts every other body with a force which is directly proportional to the

product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Sir Issac Newton

is called the father of Physics, and is considered as one of the greatest scientists of the world.

The childhood of Newton was very interesting. He was sent to school at the age of twelve. In school he did not

do well, thought he was very good at drawing and mechanical inventions. An uncle of his, aware of this talent,

arranged for him to go to Trinity College, Cambridge, at the age of nineteen. In 1665, he did his graduation

from there. He was fortunate to have worked with his professor of mathematics, Issac Barrow, who saw an

extraordinary talent in Newton. In 1669, Barrow gave up his professorship so that Newton could succeed him.

Thus Newton became the professor of mathematics in Trinity College at the age of twenty-seven. In 1672,

Newton was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in recognition of his work in mathematics.

1. Say whether the following statements are True(T) or False (F) by writing “T” or “F” in the space given.

i. Sir Issac Newton is called the father of physics. (……..)

ii. He already knows that apple fell down towards the ground. (……..)
