Discuss how a photon (aka the light particle) can be affected by gravity despite being massless.

Physics
1 answer:
Over [174]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

Light is clearly affected by gravity, just think about a black hole, but light supposedly has no mass and gravity only affects objects with mass. On the other hand, if light does have mass then doesn't mass become infinitely larger the closer to the speed of light an object travels.

Which is not expecting acceleration?
Elena L [17]

#1

A point on the outside of a spinning top whose rotational speed is constant.

Since the point at the top is at rest so it will not accelerate at all

A skydiver whose air resistance is equal to that of her weight.

Since weight is counter balanced by air resistance so net force on it is zero so acceleration will be zero

A car on the freeway experiencing a net force of -120 N.

Since net force is not zero so it will accelerate here

A submerged beach ball whose buoyant force is eight times the force of gravity on it.

Since buoyant force is more than the weight so it will not at rest and move upwards with some acceleration


#2

A frictionless spinning merry go round.

Since spinning wheel accelerating due to centripetal force so it is non inertial frame

A falling rock.

Falling rock is accelerating due to gravity so it is again non inertial frame

A hot air balloon moving at 30 degrees east of north with no net force.

since hot air balloon is having no force on it so its acceleration is zero and its an inertial frame

A space shuttle whose boosters just ignited for takeoff.

Since space shuttle is accelerating due to boosters so it is non inertial frame

#3

Here net force on it is due to two given forces

F_1 = 4320 N towards right

F_2 = 4380 N towards left

so here net force is given as

F = F_2 - F_1

F = 4380 - 4320 = 60 N

since force towards left is more so the direction will be towards left

so correct answer is 60 N towards left
