As a result of these estimates, sharp Jackson inequalities which are superior to the classical Jackson type inequality are derived. Our investigation covers Banach spaces of functions on $R^d$ or $T^d$ for which translations are isometries or on $S^{d-1}$ for which rotations are isometries. Results for $C_0$ semigroups of contractions are derived. As applications of the technique used in this paper, many new theorems are deduced. An $L_p$ space with $1
