First of all, Newton never stated the apple fell on his head, he only said that he began to think vigorously upon universal gravity while watching an apple fall from a tree. Newton also never stated even the year he had this experience (he recounted it to friends decades after the fact), but his notebooks show he began working on gravity in the late 1660s.

Did the apple fall on Newton or near him?

The apple fell near Newton, not directly on him. This event is often used as a symbolic representation of how Newton's observation of the falling apple led to his development of the theory of gravity.


What is the net force that acts on an object that weights 10 newtons if the object is in free fall?

in freefall it has no weight , only mass from f=m*g, if a 1 kg mass freefalls under earth gravity (9.81 m/s^2) then f = 1 *9.81 = 9.81 newtons, sometimes g is rounded to 10, then the answer would be 1*10=10 newtons air resistance (which is a force ( v^2 * drag coefficient)) is ignored here


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.


Did the Isaac newton apple story ever happen?

The story of Isaac Newton and the apple is likely apocryphal but rooted in truth. According to later accounts, Newton was inspired by watching an apple fall, which led him to contemplate gravity. While there's no definitive evidence that he actually saw an apple fall, it serves as a popular illustration of his groundbreaking ideas about gravitational force. The tale symbolizes the moment of insight that contributed to his formulation of the laws of motion and universal gravitation.


Why did the girls fall down the stairs while holding apple on AFV part 109?

The girls fell down the stairs while holding apple on AFV part 109 because boys were useless.
