Question

If a atom moves at the speed of 99percent of the speed of light would that atom is attracted by the earth's gravity

Answer 1

Answer:

here you go

Explanation:

When you travel by car, you usually don't move at a constant speed. ... One force is gravity, which pulls objects down toward the center of Earth. The ... Anything that is moving has kinetic energy — from the atoms in matter to the planets.

Answer 2

Explanation:

99% the speed of light is very very very fast, but it's still not the speed of light. Using Einstein's Theory of Relativity, we can easily determine the mass of the electron at that speed. And since the electron will have some mass at that speed, it will be attracted by earth's gravity. But the electron can easily escape the earth's influence as it is moving at much higher velocity than that of the escape velocity.
