Homework Statement
:[/B]Ok, so my exams are coming and all sorts of crazy thoughts are banging my mind and now I have a question regarding a very simple law of physics, the funniest part, this is my last month of high school life...so at this juncture of life, i am having this crazy question.
MY QUESTION IS if Fnet=ma,
then is it possible that we have a body which is accelerating but its mass is zero(i don't mean negligible, but zero) and so we are unable to detect the force?
This seems quite crazy because when i say the body has absolutely zero mass, it means it does not exist, so this question should not arise.
Now let me explain what I mean when I say the body has zero mass.
I mean that the body exists, and it has a mass, but because of some reason, it is unable to exhibit the properties of mass, so we are considering the mass to be zero.
I know a body traveling at speed of light has almost zero mass..
But I would like to know some other situation where mass of a body is zero, i mean, the mass exists, but is unable to exhibit mass like properties..
