Particles have mass because they are matter, and matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.

The wave packet that defines the particle is of such high frequency that its energy has a gravitational vector.

What are the subatomic particles with no mass called?

Subatomic particles with no mass are called neutrinos. Neutrinos are elementary particles that have extremely small, non-zero masses, but they are considered nearly massless in many calculations due to their very small mass values.


How do you find the number of particles in a compound when given the mass?

To find the number of particles in a compound when given the mass, first calculate the number of moles using the provided mass and the molar mass of the compound. Then, use Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 particles/mol) to convert the moles to the number of particles in the compound.


How can particles be without mass?

All particles that move slower than the speed of light have a "rest mass" or "invariant mass" - and that means, almost all particles. One of the few particles that does NOT have a rest mass is the photon, since it moves at the speed of light. It does have energy, and therefore (by mass-energy equivalence) it also has mass, but this is not "rest mass" and is often not counted as mass.


A system of particles is composed of n freely moving particles Is the mass of this system equal to the sum of the masses of the individual particle?

Yes, the mass of the system is equal to the sum of the masses of the individual particles. The total mass of a system of particles is simply the sum of the masses of all the particles that constitute the system.


What have no mass?

Now, all the particles are considered as having a mass (including photons).

What is mass determinded by?

The amount of particles in the object. The more particles, the bigger the mass.


Is mass is extensive or intensive?

Mass is an extensive property. Because it depends upon on no of particles. No particles changes mass changes.

What has no mass?

Not many things have no mass however Photons (Light Particles) have no mass and therefore they travel at the speed of light.


What are mass particles?

Particles that are heavy. Mass is like MASSive (massive) and massive objects could be heavy.


Which two factors affect the kinetic energy of the particles?

Temperature and mass of the particles affect the kinetic energy of particles. As temperature increases, the particles move faster, increasing their kinetic energy. Similarly, particles with higher mass have greater kinetic energy compared to particles with lower mass at the same temperature.

How do you do mass to particles?

By particles, I assume you mean atoms. Firstly, you divide mass by molecular mass to get moles. Then multiply moles by avagadros number to get amount of atoms


Do gases have a definite mass?

Yes, gases have mass because they consist of individual particles (atoms or molecules) that have their own mass. The mass of a gas is determined by the combined mass of its individual particles.


What is the significance of the mass term in the context of particle physics?

In particle physics, the mass term is significant because it determines the mass of particles. Mass is a fundamental property that influences how particles interact with each other and the forces they experience. The mass term helps scientists understand the behavior and properties of particles in the universe.
