How do you calculate the mass of light?

light has zero mass. Photons have zero mass. So according to e=mc2 light must also have zero energy. Astonishing how all these photons reach us from all the way across the universe! But all physical things have mass


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.


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.


If we made a material that had less mass than light would it be able to at least reach light speed?

Photons (light particles) have zero mass, so it is doubtful whether you can make something with LESS mass than that.Anything with a mass of zero can ONLY move at the speed of light.Anything with a positive mass can only move SLOWER than the speed of light.There are good reasons to believe that nothing can move FASTER than the speed of light.


Must a particle have non-zero rest mass in order to have momentum?

No, a particle can still have momentum even if its rest mass is zero. For example, photons have zero rest mass but they do have momentum due to their energy.


How much momentum does a 500 kilograms mass have if its not moving?

If the mass is not moving, it has zero momentum. Momentum is defined as mass times velocity, so without any velocity, the momentum is zero.


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 the average weight of a shed?

The shed is of zero mass and zero weight


Justify that the volume of given mass if a gas becomes theoretically zero at -273c?

At -273°C, a gas would reach absolute zero on the Kelvin scale, which is 0K. At this temperature, all molecular motion stops, causing the volume of the gas to theoretically become zero. This is because gases have negligible volume and are assumed to occupy zero volume at absolute zero.
