Yes. A particle of zero rest mass has ONLY its relativistic mass when in motion. There are actually no photons just sitting around.

What must a charged particle be doing in order to experience a magnetic force?

A charged particle must be moving in a magnetic field in order to experience a magnetic force. If the particle is stationary, it will not experience a magnetic force.


Can you accelerate a stationary charge particle in a magnetic field?

No, a stationary charge particle cannot be accelerated in a magnetic field. In order to be affected by a magnetic field, the charged particle must be moving.


What requirement must be satisfied by a force acting on a particle in order for the particle to undergo simple harmonic motion?

The force acting on the particle must be directly proportional and opposite in direction to the displacement from the equilibrium position. This requirement ensures that the particle experiences a restoring force that brings it back towards the equilibrium position, allowing for simple harmonic motion to occur.


Does linear motion have angular momentum?

I believe that any particle in linear motion must also have some angular momentum because all particles have spin. In the case of a photon the spin, wavelength and angular momentum all vary with the relative linear velocity. So in my point of view time itself is the ratio between relative linear and angular momentum.


An object that has linear momentum must also have?

Momentum. The formula for kinetic energy is: KE = .5 * m *v^2 The formula for momentum is: p = m * v If an object has kinetic energy, then both mass and velocity are non-zero, which implies that the momentum is also non-zero.

To have momentum an object must be?

Momentum = m v (mass, velocity). If either one is zero, momentum is zero. So in order to have momentum, an object must have both mass and speed, in the frame of reference.

Why cant you determine the exact location of an electron in an atom?

Because the electrons are in constant motion(momentum), so to find their exact location one must find this location plus momentum at the same time. It is thought to be impossible to find the exact location and momentum simultaniously, because, to find location you must stop the particle, and to find momentum the particle must be moving.

How does an object with higher momentum move?

Momentum is the product of velocity and mass - so to have a "higher momentum", the object must either be more massive, or it must move faster.
