If you are on the top of a mountain and drop an apple, it will fall

to the ground, even though the apple is gravitationally

attracted to you. Why?

Earth is larger and has a much stronger

gravitational pull

b Apples always fall down

Centrifugal forces pull the apple to the Earth and

that is stronger than your gravitational pull

None of these

    This is true because it might be gravitationally attracted to you, but it is moving towards the earth, which has a stronger gravitational pull than you do to the apple. You might say why doesn't it go to the sun, well, the sun has a weaker pull than the earth, it is too far away. Now, if you got close enough, it will go to the sun, but both you and the apple will be only ashes.
