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 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.


When sodium and chlorine combine under normal conditions to form sodium chloride what are the possible combinations that form the molecule?

When sodium and chlorine combine under normal conditions to form sodium chloride (NaCl), each sodium atom donates one electron to a chlorine atom. This electron transfer allows both atoms to achieve a stable electron configuration. The resulting compound is an ionic bond where sodium has a +1 charge and chlorine has a -1 charge.

Can an object with mass be weightless while under the influence of gravity?

No, an object with mass will always experience the gravitational force, so it cannot be truly weightless when under the influence of gravity. Weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on an object, so as long as gravity is present, the object will have weight.


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.
