Since a quark is said to have 0 size and has mass. would that mean that its density is infinite? (D=m/V). How would this work? what does this imply?
HallsofIvy said:I would say, rather, that the term "density" simply does not apply here.
Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume of a substance. It is typically expressed in units of mass per unit volume, such as grams per cubic centimeter or kilograms per liter.
Density is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. This can be expressed mathematically as density = mass/volume.
Yes, an object can have 0 size but still have mass. This is because mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while size is a measure of the physical dimensions of an object. Therefore, an object can have a small or 0 size but still have a significant amount of mass concentrated in that space.
The density of a substance can affect its behavior in several ways. For example, substances with higher density tend to sink in substances with lower density, as seen in the case of oil and water. Density also plays a role in buoyancy, with objects that are less dense than the surrounding fluid floating and those that are more dense sinking. Additionally, density can affect the strength and durability of materials, as well as their ability to conduct heat and electricity.
No, it is not possible for the density of massive particles with 0 size to be 0. This is because even if an object has 0 size, it still has a finite amount of mass. Therefore, the density would always be some non-zero value, even if it is extremely small.
