When particle, such as a photon, that is said to have "zero mass," it means just what you think it means: the particle has no mass. It does no warp space nor does it react to any force on it.

What would have happened if objects had no density?

Density is simply mass divided by volume, so that would mean either that the object has zero mass, or that it has a huge extension.Density is simply mass divided by volume, so that would mean either that the object has zero mass, or that it has a huge extension.Density is simply mass divided by volume, so that would mean either that the object has zero mass, or that it has a huge extension.Density is simply mass divided by volume, so that would mean either that the object has zero mass, or that it has a huge extension.


Which is more common a mass of zero or a weight of zero?

Depend on what exactly do you mean by 'common'. On one hand there are countless photon everywhere which has zero mass. But if you mean everyday objects, then zero weight of cause (free fall, space etc), as I don't think zero mass is even attainable at this scale.


What is mean by center of mass?

Center of mass is defined as the point about which the sum of mass moment vectors of all the points of the body is equal to zero.


What is the mass of all photons from the sun striking the Earth in a year?

Mass of photons? Zero, photons have no mass. If you mean energy, that is a different question, ask it.


What does tare mean is science?

"To zero out the mass" When using an electronic balance, when you place an empty container on the pan, and then hit the 'tare' button, the value of the mass resets to zero. Then, when you put something in the contain, the balance will register the new mass.


Is it possible for an object's mass to be zero?

No, it is not possible for an object's mass to be zero.


What value should theoretically be obtained for the intercept on a graph of mass vs volume HINT The intercept corresponds to zero mass and zero volume?

The intercept on a graph of mass vs. volume should be zero, as this point represents zero mass and zero volume. This makes sense because with no mass and no volume, there should be no measurements of mass either.


Why acceleration of pendulum is zero at the mean position?

The acceleration of a pendulum at the mean position is zero because the force of gravity acting on the pendulum's mass is balanced by the tension in the string. When the pendulum is at its mean position, the forces acting on it are equal and opposite, resulting in a net force of zero and therefore zero acceleration.


Can a body have zero mass and zero weight?

no


When is the mass of an electron regarded as zero?

The mass of an electron is regarded as zero when it is at rest. The mass of an electron or any particle is calculated by using its momentum and its energy. The mass of an electron is related to its momentum which is zero when the electron is not moving. So when the electron is at rest its momentum is zero and thus its mass is zero. When an electron is moving its mass is no longer zero as its momentum is not zero. It is calculated by using the following equation: Mass = Energy / (Speed of Light)2The mass of an electron increases as its energy increases and it increases even more when it is moving at a higher speed. So when the electron is at rest and its momentum is zero its mass is also zero.


Can mass of an object be zero?

No, but it can get fairly close to zero.


What is the mass percentage of 02?

It is zero. The number 02 is a number. It is a concept and no physical existence and no mass. So the mass percentage is zero.
