This thought eventually led him to formulate his law of universal gravitation.

However, the observation made by Isaac Newton of a falling apple from a tree is a more probable narrative. The saying that it fell on top of his head may very well be a metaphor that he is struck by an idea and one related to gravity at that.

According to Newton's Second Law, there must be a force acting on the apple to generate this acceleration. It was known as the "gravity," and the related acceleration "gravity acceleration."

Isaac Newton is a mathematician and a physicist. So it's logical for one to hypothesize that. An apple falling in his head could poke his interest as to what cause it to fall and maybe that event is what lead him to came to conclusion of the "law of universal gravitation". But in the end this is just all speculations and neither of the said speculations can prove it's veracity.

Regardless of the story, i think that the tree itself was true.

He did not get hit by it, he just saw an apple falling from a tree from a distance. Nonetheless, seeing that short moment led him to his great invention and theory which contributed so much to experiments, observations, and many other studies.

Although the occurrence of the event is most likely possible, it may also be a product of imagination or narration of an event on a first person point of view. Newton told William Stukeley the apple story in 1726, and it was included in his biography, "Memoirs of Sir Isaac Newton's Life," which was published in 1752. "After dinner, the weather being warm, we went into the garden, & drank thea under the shade of some apple trees... he told me, he was just in the same scenario, as when previously, the thought of gravitation came into his head," Stukeley writes—caused by the fall of an apple when he sat in meditative mood. Although there is no evidence that the fruit actually landed on his head, Newton's discovery prompted him to speculate why apples always fall straight to the ground and led to his law of universal gravitation.

And that's how he started thinking of the Universal Law of Gravitation. It is because there are force of attraction between the object and the earth. An object's weight is the force exerted by gravity on the object. The force from the gravity is the result of the gravitational field strength with respect to the object's location.

https://www.history.com/.amp/news/did-an-apple-really-fall-on-isaac-newtons-head]]> 2022-10-17 08:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ceagustin1/mfyco4wwtzhddtsz/wish/2342802739 Napal, Nicole O. https://padlet.com/ceagustin1/mfyco4wwtzhddtsz/wish/2342805657 I do think it is just a visualization. As per the video we have watched and according to Isaac Newton's background information about formulating the gravitational theory in 1965, an apple fell on his head straight down and not in any direction. 

“Gravity really does exist,” Newton stated in 1687. “[It] acts according to the laws which we have explained, and abundantly serves to account for all the motions of the celestial bodies.” Before Newton, no one had heard of gravity, let alone the concept of a universal law. 

Probably the most correct version of the story is that Newton, upon observing an apple fall from a tree, began to think along the following lines: The apple is accelerated since its velocity changes from zero as it hangs on the tree and moves toward the ground. Thus, by Newton's 2nd Law, there must be a force that acts on the apple to cause this acceleration. Let's call this force "gravity," and the associated acceleration, "acceleration due to gravity." Then imagine if the apple tree was twice as high. Again, we expect the apple to be accelerated toward the ground, so this suggests that this force that we call gravity reaches to the top of the tallest apple tree.

And of course, that says nothing of the billions of humans who had lived and died to that point, gravity being an inescapable part of their lives. Newton was simply the first to write a comprehensive law of universal gravitation, according to another History report.

But the story contains the elements on how Newton actually discovered the Law of Gravitation. Newton’s discovery of Gravitational Law was actually by him observing how an apple fell from the tree to ground. It made him ponder how actually gravity works.

Newton thought about an apple falling from a tree, and this led to his theory of gravity. The apple fell from the tree and hit him in the head. The fall of Newton's apple made Newton's apple curious enough to define the law of gravity.

However, the fact remains that Newton did not really define the law of gravity. Bhaskaracharya was one of the first people to understand the laws of gravity. He developed these principles centuries before Isaac Newton was born.
