Question
which of the following statements is true about sir isaac newton? he discovered gravity when an apple fell on his head. he found that gravity was the strongest force. he made a connection between the mass of objects and distance between them. he realized that the moon orbits earth.
The story of an apple falling on Newton's head is a myth. Gravity is not the strongest force. The fact that the Moon orbits the Earth was known before Newton. Newton formulated the law of universal gravitation, which makes a connection between the mass of objects and the distance between them, expressed as $F = G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$, where $F$ is the gravitational force, $G$ is the gravitational - constant, $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the masses of the two objects, and $r$ is the distance between them.
