Suppose the gravitational attraction of earth suddenly disasppears, then

Two bodies of different masses of 2 kg and 4 kg are moving with velocities 2 ms^-1 and 10 ms^-1 towards each other due to mutual gravitational attraction. What is velocity of their centre of mass?

The gravitational attraction between electron and proton in a hydrogen atom is weaker than the coulomb attraction by a factor of about 10^ -40 . An alternative way of looking at this fact is to estimate the radius of the first Bohr orbit of a hydrogen atom if the electron and proton were bound by gravitational attraction. You will find the answer interesting.

Molecules in air in the atmoshpere are attracted by gravitational force of the earth. Explain why all of them do not fall into the earth just like an apple falling from a tree.
