Why you couldn't feel the gravitational force and charges can feel the electrostatic force?

But you do feel gravitational force. Your body has weight, doesn't it? Your arms have weight and you feel them being pulled down? If you let go of your arms, they move down? What you feel is the force required to oppose the force of gravity. Newton's Third law says that, for every force, there is an equal and opposite force. Your muscles impose a force holding your arms up. You feel this as effort, i.e. force.
As far as electrostatic force, its the same concept...

Which force do you compare the electrostatic force to?
Gravitational force.
Which one of the 4 fundamental forces can repel and attract?
The electrostatic force is attractive between unlike charges, and repulsive between like charges.
IS the electrostaic force not as strong as the gravitational force?
Electrostatic force IS stronger than gravitational force because the electrostatic force between a charged straw (which has been rubbed with a cloth) can defy gravity and stick to the ceiling.
Difference between electrostatic force and electromagnetic force?
electrostatic force is the force between the two opposite charges where as the electromagnetic force is movement of electrons
What are forces in mechanics?
gravitational force electrostatic force weak nuclear force strong nuclear force
Which force do you compare the electrostatic force to?
Gravitational force.
What is the most common force causing electrostatic charges?
There isn't any such force. Charges are not caused by force. However, the "Electrostatic Force" is caused by the separation of charges.
What three forces can act from a distance?
There are only two forces that act at a distance:gravity, andelectromagnetism.Magnetic fields are sometimes referred to as a third force, however magnetism and electrostatic forces are both examples the electromagnetic force.
Which one of the 4 fundamental forces can repel and attract?
The electrostatic force is attractive between unlike charges, and repulsive between like charges.
What of the four fundamental forces is an attraction between opposite charges?
Electrostatic force — APEX
IS the electrostaic force not as strong as the gravitational force?
Electrostatic force IS stronger than gravitational force because the electrostatic force between a charged straw (which has been rubbed with a cloth) can defy gravity and stick to the ceiling.
Forces that act on an object at a distance?
Some forces do not involve physical contact between the bodies on which they act. They act through the space between them. Such forces are called Non-Contact Forces or Action-at-a Distance Force. They are of three types, namely, magnetic force, electrostatic force and gravhtational force. Magnetic Force -- The forces which a magnet exerts on iron objects is called magnetic forces. Electrostatic Force -- The force which result due to the repulsion of similar charges or attraction of opposite charges is called electrostatic force. Gravitational force -- The force by which Earth pulls the objects towards its centre is called gravitational force.
What mechanisms are in?
gravitational force electrostatic force weak nuclear force strong nuclear force
Difference between electrostatic force and electromagnetic force?
electrostatic force is the force between the two opposite charges where as the electromagnetic force is movement of electrons
What are forces in mechanics?
gravitational force electrostatic force weak nuclear force strong nuclear force
What force makes objects touch?
gravitational, electrostatic, and magnetic forces
Electric force is a contact force or force at a distance?
electrostatic force is not a contact force it is force at a distance likely to that of gravitational force.
