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...

Ratio of gravitational and electrostatic force between two electrons?

The ratio of gravitational force to electrostatic force between two electrons is approximately (3.6 \times 10^{-42}). This is because the gravitational force between two electrons is much weaker than the electrostatic force due to their small masses compared to their charges.


What will be the direction of charge if the gravitational force is equal to electrostatic force?

If the gravitational force is equal to the electrostatic force, the direction of the charge will depend on the relative signs of the charges. If the charges are of opposite sign, the direction will be attractive (towards each other), and if the charges are of the same sign, the direction will be repulsive (away from each other).


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.


What is the ratio of the electrostatic force to the gravitational force between two electrons?

The ratio of the electrostatic force to the gravitational force between two electrons is approximately 2.4 x 1042.


Is electric force the same thing as electrostatic force?

Yes, electric force is a broader term that includes both electrostatic (stationary charges) and electromagnetic (moving charges) forces. Electrostatic force specifically refers to the force between stationary charged particles.

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.

Masses are to newtons gravitational law as charges are to what?

Charges are to Coulomb's law. Coulomb's law describes the electrostatic force between two charged particles, similar to how Newton's law of gravitation describes the gravitational force between two masses.

What are the differences between coulomb's force and gravitational force?

Coulomb's force is the electrostatic force between charged particles, while gravitational force is the force of attraction between masses due to gravity. Coulomb's force depends on the amount of charge and distance between charges, while gravitational force depends on the masses and distance between objects. Coulomb's force is much stronger than gravitational force for everyday objects.


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 happens to the electrostatic force if one charge is quadupled?

If one charge is quadrupled, the electrostatic force between the charges will increase by a factor of 4. This is because the electrostatic force is directly proportional to the product of the two charges involved.
