Question

OMG I NEED HELP RIGHT NOW!!!!

What was Newton's great insight that related a falling apple to the Moon? Explain in 5-7 sentences.

Answer 1

The moon falls beneath the straight line it would follow if there were no forces acting on it.Newton found the Moon's inward acceleration in its orbit to be 0.0027 metre per second per second, the same as (1/60)2 of the acceleration of a falling object at the surface of Earth. Earth's gravitational force weakens with increasing distance.The unit of force is the newton (N) named after Sir Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727). He observed apples falling from a tree and realised that the force produced by a falling apple is equal to its mass times the earth's gravitational pull.

This is a bunch of information on this topic that i hope you can put together to make a good paragraph

Answer 2

Newton's insight was that Earth's gravity might extend as far as the Moon and produce the force required to curve the Moon's path from a straight line and keep it in its orbit. He further hypothesized that gravity is not limited to Earth, but that there is a general force of attraction between all material bodies.
