Why are sunlight and gravity not considered matter?

Physics

Nady [450]3 years ago

Sunlight and gravity are not considered matter because sunlight does not have  a rest mass that is characteristic of matter while gravity is just a vector component of matter.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Sunlight has energy and momentum that makes it similar to matter but it cannot be considered matter when you consider all the factors that are characteristic of matter. Light is an electromagnetic wave that is made up of photons and  the protons do not have rest mass.

Gravity is  a vector component of matter that has both magnitude as well as direction and the gravity increases with increase in mass of an object.

Answer:

Sunlight and gravity are not considered matter because they don't have mass or take up space.

Explanation:

  • Gravity is a basic and innate element of matter. If there is no matter then there won't be gravity.
  • But gravity is not considered to be matter because it is actually a force that attracts the matter. So basically gravity is a sort of force affecting the matter.
  • Sunlight has so many properties to be called as a matter like it has energy and momentum. But it consists of photons which do not have any rest mass, hence sunlight is not considered as matter.

When an object moves, stops moving, changes speed, or changes direction, how do scientists describe that condition?
lorasvet [3.4K]
Drop "moves" from the list for a moment.

You can also drop "stops moving", because that's included in "changes speed"
(from something to zero).

When an object changes speed or changes direction, that's called "acceleration".

I dropped the first one from the list, because an object can be moving,
and as long as it's speed is constant and it's moving in a straight line,
there's no acceleration.

I think you meant to say "starts moving". That's a change of speed (from zero
to something), so it's also acceleration.

Consider a heat pump that operates on the reversed Carnot cycle with R-134a as the working fluid executed under the saturation d
Schach [20]

Answer:

Work out = 28.27 kJ/kg

Explanation:

For R-134a, from the saturated tables at 800 kPa, we get

h_{fg} = 171.82 kJ/kg

Therefore, at saturation pressure 140 kPa, saturation temperature is

T_{L} = -18.77°C = 254.23 K

At saturation pressure  800 kPa, the saturation temperature is

T_{H} = 31.31°C = 304.31 K

Now heat rejected will be same as enthalpy during vaporization since heat is rejected from saturated vapour state to saturated liquid state.

Thus, q_{reject} = h_{fg} = 171.82 kJ/kg

We know COP of heat pump

COP = \frac{T_{H}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}

        = \frac{304.31}{304.31-254.23}

         = 6.076

Therefore, Work out put, W = \frac{q_{reject}}{COP}

                                              = 171.82 / 6.076

                                              = 28.27 kJ/kg
