Why does not the electron in a beam from an electron gun fall as much under gravity as a water molecule in a stream from a hose?

It does. If both are shot horizontally, both the electrons and the water drops
fall the same distance in the same amount of time on account of gravity ...
about 16 feet after one second.
But the water may be moving horizontally at 50 feet per second, and the electron
beam may be moving horizontally at 491 million feet per second. If those numbers
are anywhere close, then across a 12-ft room, the water droplets will fall 11 inches,
and the electrons will fall 0.0000000000000096 inch. That's why you don't notice it.

What is matter from a nebula that has begun to condense under the weight of gravity to begin the formation of a star?
Matter from a nebula that has begun to condense under the weight of gravity to begin the formation of the star is "dust and gas".
What is password for low gravity cheat for counterstrike 1.6?
First you have to open your console which is the button under escape, what you wanna do next is type in sv_gravity then any number under 800 (800= normal gravity) Hope this helped
What is an acidolysis?
An acidolysis is a specific chemical reaction - the decomposition of a molecule under the influence of an acid.
What is a glacial stream?
A glacial stream is a stream of liquid water on, in, or under a glacier, moving under the influence of gravity.
Why does not the electron in a beam from an electron gun falls as much under gravity as a water molecule in a stream from a hose?
Because the electron, in effect has no (or very little atomic) mass and is travelling at near light speed, while the molecule of water (H20) has a relatively large atomic mass and is traveling at a much lower velocity (5 to 10 meters per second). This of course, as postulated in the question, relates only to gravitational affect and neglects drag caused by air resistence.
Atomic weight of electrons in h2o?
Negligible. The mass of an electron is around 1/1840 of an amu, so the 18 electrons in a water molecule contribute a little under 0.01 amu to the total mass of the molecule.
Why electron has negatively charged?
The determination of charge of an electron was done by R.A. Millikan in 1913, In R.A. Millikan's working (Millikan's oil drop experiment) explained as follows the terminal velocity of charged oil drop is measured under two conditions viz. under gravity alone and under the combined action of gravity and electric field oppose the gravity . Negatively charge drop is selected and its motion is studied.I think it's due to this electron has (-)ve charge.In fact, it is a very long experiment ,i can't explain all of it.
Can really be an electron seen under microscope?
only under an electron microscope wiki it
Can an object with mass be weightless while under the influence of gravity?
No, objects under the influence of gravity have a mass.
Which is a direct source of mechanical energy?
A weight falling under gravity and exerting a force through a rope and pulley is a basic one. Similarly a waterwheel being turned by a flowing stream of water, or a windmill by the wind.
Where is beaver located?
under water in a stream
Which stream should be taken to da BCA?
bca comes under which stream science or technical.
How can you measure mass?
Weight them under gravity or calculate from momentum of impact or spring load under centripetal force in space. Then refer the weight or the force to the gravity of earth at 9.81m/s2 and account for its' weight under earth gravity.
Which part of the stream system has the highest average flow velocity?
the middle of the stream and just under the surface
Is there gravity under water?
Definitely. A rock sinks in the ocean because gravity operates on it even under water. A log floats in water not because gravity stops under water but because the log's density is lower than that of the water.
