Almost certainly not. He made his great breakthrough whilst at home in Lincolnshire. (he had fled there from Cambridge University to avoid a nasty outbreak of plague). His only comment about how he discovered the theory was that "it was occasioned by the contemplation of the falling of an apple". He certainly saw an apple fall but it is more likely that he would have been indoors and seen the event through a window. He may even have had a previous experience of a falling apple come to mind when he was considering the problem.
Bear also in mind that Newton was not averse to lies when it came to protecting his ideas. History paints him as a thoroughly unpleasant man who ruined the reputation of at least two of his most talented contemporaries ( Robert Hooke and Gottlieb Leibnitz). Any story of Newton's is to be taken with a pinch of salt.
However, he was seriously brilliant (in ways it is hard to comprehend because no-one today could be so brilliant in so many different fields) and he could have been under a tree when it happened (Lincolnshire is a very rural county and a major food growing area. It does have orchards.
What else can I help you with?
When did Juan Vucetich discover fingerprints?
He didn't discover fingerprints. Several people discovered a detail about them. No one really discovered them.
Who influenced Isaac Newton?
Isaac was influenced by God, he believed that his only true Father was his Father in heaven. Another influence to Isaac Newton was Galileo. You see Isaac Newton was born on the year that Galileo died. At that time Galileo was known really well. That influenced Isaac Newton.
Is John Newton related to Oliva Newton John?
No. Olivia Newton-John is not related to John Newton. Although they have similar last names, Newton is not really her last name at all. I believe it was her father's mother's maiden name, and they added it to the -John because when they moved to Australia there were too many Johns out there. Olivia Newton-John, however, IS related to Max Born, a nobel prize winning physicist. ;3
One Inventor of Calculus?
Isaac Newton and Gottfried Liebniz invented it simultaneously and there was a bitter rivalry between the two (the most animosity being on the Newton to Liebniz ratio) until their deaths as to who really invented it even though it was really both
Why was Christopher Columbus Day cancelled?
because technically Columbus didn't really "discover" the new world, he only recorded it. the Amerindians such as the Incas, Aztecs, tainos, kalinagos etc really discovered the new world. mainly because they migrated to the western hemisphere centuries before Columbus voyages; during the time of the ice age over the Bering Strait which is now currently the Antarctic ocean. So giving recognition to a man that didn't really discover would be unfair to the civilizations that actually did discover the new world.
How did Isaac Newton really discover gravity?
he saw an apple falling from a tree and it got him wondering why things fell
What English scientist did an apple fall on his head and helped him to discover a physics law?
The apple didn't really hit on his head. Although it landed next to him and that's when he discover Gravity. The Gravitation of the apple but it happens to be its weight and mass
Did Isaac Newton invent gravaty?
Well, no one really invented it but if you mean discover the laws governing it then yes.
Who is the first person to travel to the moon and discover gravitational force?
This question makes no sense, and really adds no value to the site seeing as both moments occurred in two completely different eras of the time line, with the "discovery" of gravity being first. Gravity was "discovered" in 1665 by Sir Isaac Newton. Neil Armstrong landend on the moon in 1969, some 303 years AFTER gravity was "discovered." Note: Discovered and discovery are in quotations because these are inaccurate facts. Gravity was actually scientifically observed by Newton rather than discovered by him.
Was it hard to discover the law of gravity?
it was just more of an accidental discovery that made Isac realize what was really going on
Did Isaac Newton really discover viscosity?
Isaac Newton did not discover viscosity, but he did develop mathematical equations to describe the behavior of fluids in motion, including viscosity. He formulated Newton's law of viscosity, which states that the shear stress between adjacent fluid layers is directly proportional to the velocity gradient between the layers.
What is 7.0 kilograms in newtons?
You can't really convert kilograms to newtons, since they measure different things. The relationship is:weight = mass x gravity For normal Earth gravity, you can use a factor of about 9.8 newton/kilogram for gravity.
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 Isaac newton known for?
Sir Isaac newton is best known for discovering the law of gravity, creating the field of calculus, and finding out that white light is composed of many colors. He is also really known for inventing three standard laws of motion, referred to as "Newton's Laws" HI
What is1 newton converted to its equivalent value of mass?
Please note that weight (or force in general) and mass aren't really equivalent. The relation is: Weight = mass x gravity. Assuming normal Earth gravity (i.e., close to Earth's surface, each kilogram has a weight of about 9.8 newton. For something to weigh 1 newton, it will have to have a mass of 1 / 9.8 kilograms; this is approximately 102 grams.
Who discoved the of spectrum light?
Isaac newton discovered the visible spectrum of light while fooling around with a prism (from which is derived the basic principle of a rainbow.) He later wrote about his findings in his well-known book, Optiks. Isaac Newton was also a master of atsronomy, calculus, and physics. It was also he who "discovered" gravity when an apple fell on his head. It is also probable that this experience led him to discover the effect of concussions on dementia. OK, not really about the dementia part.
How can you get newton when you are in the moon?
Time machine and a mining drill. Comments: I would like to write a more serious answer, but I don't really understand the question. It may be about the Moon's gravity.
