Why does an apple fall to Earth?

The apple has mass. The Earth has mass. The apple falls down, and the Earth "falls" up. The Earth's motion is not measurable. The apple's motion is.


In an experiment six people at different places around the Earth drop an apple at the same time Which apples will fall to the Earth?

All of the apples will to Earth.


Why does an Apple fall toward the earth instead of the earth moving towards the Apple?

Because the mass f the Earth is way greater then the apple's mass. Though apple attracts earth it is so negligible that it is equal to 0


Does the apple attracts the earth if yes why you do not see the earth moving towards an apple?

The apple as too the Earth has mass. Both are attracted to each other. However, the mass of the Earth is soooo much greater than the apple that you do not see the attraction.


Does an apple attract the earth towards it?

F = G(m1m2/r2)As you see both masses attract one another and are actually in accelerationtowards one another, but the mass of the earth is so much more than the applethat the acceleration of the earth towards the apple is quite negligible.==========================Addendum:The acceleration of the Earth toward the apple may be quite negligible, but the force is not.The important thing to be aware of ... which the question asks and the first answer skips by ...is that there are forces of attraction in both directions, and the forces are equal.The Earth is attracted to the apple with exactly the same amount of force as the onethat attracts the apple toward the Earth. Another way to say this is: Whatever yourweight is on Earth, the Earth has exactly that same weight on you.Added:The above is not quite correct as the force is almost all due to the mass of the earth and one can assume the radius is just approximately the radius from the center of the earth to the apple on the surface, or there about. The question does not need an equal and opposite attraction answer as the implication of gravitational acceleration is obvious. The apple is not pressing down on the earth, nor is the converse implied.

Is the force that makes an apple fall the same force that keeps the earth orbiting around the sun?

Yes - the same gravity that makes the apple fall from the tree - keeps the earth in orbit around the sun.

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 the mutual force of attraction between apple and earth is equal and opposite but the apple moves towards the earth appear to be at rest?

The Earth is more massive. The same force will result in less acceleration on a more massive object (Newton's Second Law).
