What are ten open questions about Isaac Newton?
That apple story is true or is just a fake that u have made.....
What was the colour of the apple which fell on sir isaac newton?
The story of the apple has been greatly exaggerated over the years. Newton used an apple as an example when explaining that Earth's gravity pulls the apple down and that same gravity acts on the moon to keep it in orbit around the earth. I don't believe there was an apple that actually fell on Newton.
Why is Isaac Newton Important in Science?
The apple did nothing to Sir Isaac Newton. We are not sure that that even happened. The story goes that when Sir Isaac Newton was in a garden he saw a apple tree fall. That is supposedly when he discovered gravity.
What did newton learn from an apple?
The apple story is apocryphal, meaning "of dubious authenticity", or "an interesting story or fable". The story was that Newton was sitting underneath an apple tree when an apple fell next to him. This prompted him to consider that while he knew that things DID fall, he didn't know WHY, or what the mechanism was. He ought to be able to figure out what the force on the apple was.
What inspired Isaac Newton to develop his law of gravity?
There is a popular story that Isaac Newton was sitting beneath an apple tree when an apple dropped on his head and this inspired him to create his universal theory of gravitation. The story is probably an exaggeration. In Newton's account of the event he was sitting at his window at his home, Woolsthorpe Manor and watched an apple fall from a tree in the garden which turned his thoughts to gravity. The real discovery of Newton was not "gravity." The fact that things fall towards the Earth when they are dropped was known in pre-history. It wasn't even to suggest that gravity extended a long way and causes the orbits of the planets. This had already been suggested by Galileo Galilei. What Newton came up with was a formula for how big the force of gravity will be between any two objects and show that this accurately accounts for the motion of the moon and planets. The formula was so good that it remained in use as the best prediction of gravitational force until Einstein's theory of General Relativity in the 20th Century and is still used today where relativistic effects do not apply.
What story made Isaac Newton famous?
The story of the falling apple leading to Newtton's law of Gravity.

Real or fictional name a person associated with an apple?
One of the most famous anecdotes in the history of science involves an apple. It is the popular story that Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree when an apple fell on his head, and when this happened, he suddenly thought of the Universal Law of Gravitation.
Which scientist discovered gravity?
Gravity is a term coined by Sir Isaac Newton. Newton discovered Gravity. He noticed this phenomena in the world famous story when an Apple fell down from a tree under which Newton was sitting, and Newton thought, as to why the apple fall down and not upwards or sideways. Hence leading to his discovery of Gravity.

What has an apple got to do with Isaac Newton story?
An apple fell on his head so it made him think "Why did the apple fall on my head" so he revealed GRAVITY to the world! he stated for gravity what goes up must come down
Who thought up the theory of gravity when an apple fell on his head and when?
Sir Isaac Newton in the 1660s :- he told the story of watching an apple fall from a tree and it has been embellished over the years to it hitting him on the head
Name two famous stories that use an apple as the main theme?
Sir Isaac Newton discovering the law of gravity and The biblical story of Adam and Eve and the Tree of Knowledge
What motivated Isaac Newton to do what he did?
Well Isaac Newton probally just liked doing what he did. But he did have solid evedince before hestarted reserch. And he had to prove what happened otherwise he would have been beheaded for going against what the king said. Remember he was living in the 16 and 17 hundreds.
How was an apple significant to sir Isaac Newton's discovery of physics?
Isaac Newton did not discover Physics, it existed before him and lots more has been discovered since his death. An apple is supposed to have played a role in his discovery of the law of universal gravitation. In an early account it is said he saw an apple fall from a tree and it started him thinking about why it fell. Some later accounts have it hitting him on the head whilst sitting under the tree. There is limited evidence to support this story but it does make a good story and is widely believed.
