All matter has mass. Air is made of matter (oxygen, nitrogen, argon, etc.) and has mass. The mass of air at standard conditions is 1.229 kg/m3
Cool air typically follows warm air. Warm air rises and creates an area of low pressure, which is then filled by cooler air moving in to replace it. This movement of air is known as convection.
Warm air is less dense (lighter) than cold air..that is why warm air rises and cold air settles
Yes, in general, dense air will move from hot air to cool air due to differences in temperature and pressure. This movement of air helps to balance out the temperature and pressure gradients between the two regions.
When cold air moves toward warm air, it pushes the warm air upward because cold air is denser and therefore heavier than warm air. This creates a lifting mechanism known as cold air advection, which can lead to the formation of clouds and precipitation.
Cold air is denser than warm air, so it tends to sink and move underneath the warmer, lighter air. This creates a pressure difference that causes the cold air to push the warm air out of the way as it moves. This process is known as cold air chasing warm air.
photonsgravitonsBoth are bosons, there are no massless fermions although neutrinos were once believed to be massless.
Yes
The significance of momentum for a massless particle is that it determines the particle's energy and direction of motion. Since a massless particle always travels at the speed of light, its momentum is directly proportional to its energy. Momentum is crucial for understanding how massless particles, such as photons, interact with other particles and fields in physics.
Zero.
The momentum of a massless particle is always equal to its energy divided by the speed of light. In a physical system, a massless particle with momentum can travel at the speed of light and its behavior is not affected by inertia or resistance to motion.
No. A photon is a particle of light. It is massless.
As per Law of Gravitation, there is no gravitational force on a massless object, so it will not accelerate. But mass-less object does not exist. It should have some mass and all objects fall down on earth with same acceleration irrespective of their mass(if air resistance is neglected).
A particle without mass is called a massless particle. Massless particles travel at the speed of light and do not experience gravitational forces. They have energy and momentum, but no rest mass. Examples of massless particles include photons (particles of light) and gluons (particles that mediate the strong nuclear force).
The buoyant force on a massless object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. This is because the buoyant force depends on the volume of fluid displaced, not the mass of the object.
== == The Higgs Boson is another theoretical particle thought to be responsible for the presence of mass in other particles that have mass. I believe the Higgs Boson is theorized to be itself massless. there are 3 known massless particles: the gauge boson, the photon, and the gluon ( the gluon isn't necessarily categorized as a free particle due to the fact that they are confined to hadrons) neutrinos were also, until recently, were thought to be massless. however, they were discovered to change flavor, which means that they must have mass.
By definition a massless particle has no rest mass therefore it can not take up any spacial volume. I think the confusion lies with calling something that is massless, a particle. This is because as soon as we hear particle we think "object" and objects have definite mass and volume. A photon is massless and sometimes people may refer to it as a particle of light. But in fact that is sort of a misnomer being that it really isn't a particle, though it has particle-like properties. If something is massless theorists have said that the object does not interact with the Higgs field, though gravitational effects are still felt by the photon, example: gravitational lensing.
Air is considered matter because it has mass and occupies space, meeting the definition of matter. Light, on the other hand, is made up of massless particles called photons and does not have mass or occupy space like particles of matter do.
