Certainly gravity is a force that exists between the Earth and the objects that are near it. As you stand upon the Earth, you experience this force.

reaction, opposite directions, and more
I would say that this is the first law of thermodynamics.
By putting an apple up on high ground. (That is 1 example)
This creates a higher gravitational force, and when it falls down it would have a lot of kinetic energy. But, if put on low ground, it wouldn't have enough potential energy to increase the kinetic energy.
