How does gravity influence an electron beam? And how does it influence the other particles?
Vanadium 50 said:It makes it go down. Just like everything else.
Have you studied Galileo's Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment? If so, what does it teach us?Fadicando said:I thought that as the mass of the electrons is insignificant, the influence of gravity wouldn't do any difference.
Do you understand the difference between "a very small amount" and "none" ?Fadicando said:But how it happens mathematically? Because I thought that as the mass of the electrons is insignificant, the influence of gravity wouldn't do any difference.

Drakkith said:The force is very, very small, but so is the mass of the electron. If you look at the equation for acceleration, ##A=F/M## and put the equation for gravitational force in for ##F##, you'll find that the mass cancels out entirely. The acceleration of the smaller object is independent of its mass.

Gravity is a fundamental force that attracts objects with mass towards each other. This means that particles with mass will be pulled towards each other by the force of gravity. The strength of the gravitational force depends on the mass of the particles and the distance between them. In general, the closer the particles are to each other, the stronger the force of gravity and the more they will be affected in their movement.
Yes, gravity can affect particles even if they are not in direct contact with each other. This is because gravity is a long-range force that can act over large distances. For example, the gravitational force between the Earth and the Moon is what keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth, even though they are not in direct contact with each other.
The strength of gravity decreases as particles move further apart. This is because the force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the particles. This means that as the distance between particles doubles, the force of gravity decreases by a factor of four.
Yes, gravity can affect the behavior of subatomic particles, but its effects are very small compared to other fundamental forces, such as electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces. This is because subatomic particles have very little mass, and the force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the particles.
Gravity plays a crucial role in the formation of large structures in the universe, such as galaxies, stars, and planets. As particles with mass are pulled together by gravity, they can form larger and more massive structures over time. These structures continue to grow and evolve under the influence of gravity, shaping the structure and dynamics of the universe as we know it.
