Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Newton theorized the same force that caused an apple to fall from a tree was also the force that kept the moon in place.
Detailed explanation-2: -There’s no evidence to suggest the fruit actually landed on his head, but Newton’s observation caused him to ponder why apples always fall straight to the ground (rather than sideways or upward) and helped inspired him to eventually develop his law of universal gravitation.
Detailed explanation-3: -An apple falls from a tree because of gravitational attraction between the earth and apple.
