When an apple from a tree it's motion is guided by several forces as explained-Consider an apple the forces acting on it are-Gravitational Force(Force due to its own weight mg) acting downwards. Air friction, ceasing the motion of apple acting vertically upwards. If wind might be blowing then force due to wind which deviates the path of apple. read more
