What falling object is said to have inspired Isaac Newton's theories about gravity?
Correct answer: Apple
GreenerBrand1
Actually, everyone who knows anything about Newton knows for sure. The apple-on-the-head story is a total fabrication. The existence of gravity was well known in Newton's time and he certainly didn't need a falling apple to become aware of it. He did not discover gravity, but rather, the mathematical laws governing it, and it was the motion of the moon and planets, not falling apples, that led him to the discovery.

Lmao can you imagine if a brick fell on his head? Ouch!!

KindKitten89, grade school science class. Newton was one of the greats!

Big Blue Narwhal, Where did you get the idea that there were no apple trees in England in the 17th century. In the 14th century children were baptised in cider. Can’t make that without apples. Stick to physics.

if an apple feel on my head , gravity isn't what I would have thought of .

thanks Newton for revealing the secret of gravity!👍👍

GreenerBrand1, gravity wasn't exactly an understood concept at the time. newton was the first person to recognize that falling apples and the motion of the moon around the sun are governed by the same laws.

Actually da apple didn't fell on to his head.It fell to the ground.

it's a good job Sir Isaac Newton invented gravity or we'd be floating around all over the place.

He was my mums classmate in school

He had two birthdays one is mine Christmas day, and has the same name as my younger brother, Isaac! Maybe we're related to Sit Isaac Newton??? 🤔😮

GreenerBrand1, very well said. Thank you

Actually,Sir Issac Newton can through an apple in the sky and find that something thing attract apple downwards and after sometime they discovered a law called "GRAVITATION"!!

Gravity? Mavity👍
sigma
additional information, the general theory of relativity is a more accurate defining piece of gravity

I'm a fan of newton
Artie
Everyone should know this. It's been on TV, Movies, etc ..

I knew it was apple
Jose Valderrey
If Newton had been born in Venezuela, the inspiration would have come from a mango! Lol

I learnt in (G•k)

apple was tasty food

I knew this right away!

can u imagine if tree are fell on his head😅 I can't imagine...😣😣
Ellabea lovely
My sister said he was in his school not at home
lucid_enigma
I think Liebniz threw it at him!

Newton did not discover gravity bc gravity pulls u to the world but the apple did not take grip on the tree saying that it fall off and u shall never known if that tree was grown naturally or someone AKA a farmer planted it calculating that did not discover it but it fell if it was a natural tree

If my friend was in his place, she would eat the apple instead 😂

All Thanks to Isaac Newton for revealing the secret to gravity

The whole falling apple story is a lie. Also Newton was a loner that hated all people. During the plague he hid all alone as usual. If be didn’t he to would have most likely died. In other words he was a horrible person.

I’m nine but it’s easy😊

by the apple who fall that just created the gravity respect to that apple

I thought it was brick 💀

Inspiration comes in so many ways ….

thanks to Newton we know the secret of gravity

it's Newton 3rd law

Guess what isn't it easy to teach 8 yrs kid about gravity through the story of falling apple and is more believable than the story of a person falling from high altitude will hurt himself badly as he start increasing the attitude compared to his initial altitude!!! so what I am with apple 🍎🍎 easy to understand and grasp the fundamental to dive into topic with great curiosity isn't it ,? well that was what the publisher had thought once?..

As physics is a hard subject it is really interesting too did you know that it is my favourite subject and I want to become like CV Raman who got a Nobel prize in physics for scattering of light in physics and like Satendra Chandra Bose and I want to become a physicist like them and like Issac Newton so my goal is to become a IFS officer A.K.A Indian Foreign Service, and I want to become the embassdor of India to USA, and I want to invent something big like Issac Newton, and I one day I would like to discover a white hole Thank you may the gods watch over you.
