When an object weighing 1N falls a distance of 1M How much work is done on the apple by the force of gravity?

Work = (force on the apple) x (distance through which the force acts).
Force on the apple = its weight = 1 n
Distance through which the force acts = 1 m
Work done by gravity = (1 newton) x (1 meter) = 1 newton-meter = 1 joule

What is the function of gravity?
Pulls things to the ground.Drop an apple two yards above your head. Observe how you feel. The apple hit you pretty hard didn't it?! That's gravity. In space the apple would just float around and not come straight at you.
What is a practical example of gravity acting on an object?
A practical example of gravity acting on an object is a ball being thrown into the air. The ball has gravity acting on it, pulling it down toward the ground. The ball eventually comes back down to the ground because of the force of gravity.
Why an apple falls down not upwards?
gravity
How did Newton prove gravity?
Newton prove gravity by means of an apple falling on his head
Who discovered gravity and what is the law of gravity?
Isaac Newton who was born in 1642 found out about gravity by watching a falling apple in 1665
What object helped Isaac Newton discover gravity?
an apple
When you drop the apple what are the forces acting on it?
There is the apple's weight (mass * gravity) but there is also the air resistance acting against the object's weight.
How does the center of gravity apply to gravity?
Not entirely sure what you're asking, but I'll try. When working outside an object, i.e. looking at an apple falling (not examining the forces between seeds and fruity parts in the apple), one can assume that the object exists entirely at the center of gravity, making it a point sized particle. Therefore gravity can be assumed to affect the entire mass of the apple only at the center of gravity (aka: the center of mass).
Can gravity apple?
No. But apple can gravity.
What everyday object is said to have helped Isaac Newton in his discovery of gravity?
an apple. is this a joke? I'm a kid, and I know that.
Which object weighs approximately 1 newton?
The weight of an average apple is around one Newton. Rather appropriate when you consider that it was a falling apple that made Newton think about gravity.
What scientist is said to have discovered gravity with the help of an apple?
Isaac Newton discovered gravity with the help of an apple.
Needs to be really well explained answer so even a 12 year old can understand what is gravity?
Gravity is were an object (such as an apple or YOU!) is pulled towords the center of the earth. We feel gravity but we are used to it therefore we don't notce it. Isaac Newton was the first to call Gravity, gravity, and called te units we mease it in after him(newtons)
What is the weight of pumpkin and apple in Grams?
Put the apple and pumpkin one by one on the weighing machine and check the weight of the respective apple or pumpkin.
Why does an apple fall down?
gravity
What is the function of gravity?

Did isaac invent gravity by watching an apple fall?
Questions like this want to make me cry.... No he did not invent gravity he obsurved the apple fall and as a result he came up with the theory of gravity
