Detailed Solution

Apple falls from a tree due to the force of gravitation.
According to Newton's law of gravitation, "every object attracts every other object with force called gravitational force, which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the distance between them." Mathematically,
G =

\frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{d^{2}}

Where

m_{1} and m_{2} = mass of the objects

d = seperation between the objects

"The gravitational force on the Earth is the force of attraction on a body due to the gravity of the Earth." For example, the leaves and fruits fall from a tree downwards towards the ground, water in a river flows down streams, and a ball thrown up goes to a height and then returns to the ground are some examples of motion due to gravitational force.
