Determine the mass of an empty balloon. Then blow as much air as you can into the balloon and determine the mass again. The blown up balloon should be heavier and occupy more volume (is bigger). This shows that the air used to blow it up has mass and volume, and therefore is matter.

there is no air in a vaccum. and sound needs air for the sound waves to travel through.


How will you explain the wave-particle duality of matter?

The way I see it is that neither one is true, we don't (yet) know the true nature of matter, and that the best we can do is to use the models we do understand to explain it.


How do you know the air you breath is matter even though you can't see it?

Matter has weight and takes up space. You know that air takes up space, because when you breath in, your lungs fill with air and expand. :) MoMMy.!

How do you know that the air you breathe is matter even though you can't see it?

We know air is matter because when we blow up a balloon the air will take up space so the balloon gets bigger. We know that air has matter because it has mass. Anything that has mass and takes up space has matter.


How do you know the air you breathe is matter even if you can't see it?

Air is matter because it has mass and takes up space. When you exhale, you can feel the force of air leaving your lungs, which demonstrates that air has mass. Additionally, air exerts pressure on objects as it pushes against them, further showing its physical properties as matter.

How do you know the air you breathe is matter even if you can?

Air is matter because it has mass and takes up space. You can demonstrate this by observing how air interacts with its environment, such as when it fills a balloon or moves leaves on a tree. Additionally, air can be influenced by forces like gravity and pressure, further confirming its physical presence as matter.


Who found dark matter?

No one has discovered dark matter. Dark matter is a concept to explain the rotation of galaxies. We simply do not know what it is and where it is. When we looked at nearby spiral galaxies astronomers could not explain how individual stars could be moving so fast. If you add all the mass of the material we can see or infer the gravity should not be able to hold the stars in orbit. They should be streaming off. Dark matter was invented to explain this. The theory suggest that 60 to 90% of the matter in the galaxy needs to this strange dark matter.
