I mean, a body with higher temperature has higher energy so is it heavier than before? We know from e=m*c^2 that energy is equivalent to mass
When a body is heated, its particles gain kinetic energy and begin to move faster. This increase in motion causes the body to have a higher inertial mass, meaning it resists changes in its state of motion more strongly.
Yes, the effect of heat on inertial mass can vary depending on the material of the body. Some materials, such as metals, have a greater increase in inertial mass when heated compared to others, such as gases.
No, heat cannot decrease the inertial mass of a body. Inertial mass only increases with an increase in temperature due to the increase in particle motion. However, the apparent mass of a body may decrease due to thermal expansion, but this is not the same as inertial mass.
There is no specific limit to how much the inertial mass of a body can increase due to heat. However, as the temperature increases, the particles in the body will eventually reach their maximum possible motion, resulting in a plateau in the increase of inertial mass.
The theory of relativity states that mass and energy are equivalent and can be converted into one another. When a body is heated, its particles gain energy, which can be viewed as an increase in mass. This concept is known as mass-energy equivalence and is a fundamental principle in the theory of relativity.
