Hi i was wondering if you could help me understand Kelvins? My question on my work says "Which of the following is the SI unit u

sed in measuring the temperature of a hot cup of coffee" and the other question says, "Which of the following would be the SI unit to use in measuring the temperature of a hot liquid?" I said both are Kelvin but i dont really understand and i dont want to be wrong. ​

Answer:

Hey there!

Kelvin is correct. Farenheit and Celsius are scales derived from the Kelvin scale. For example, K=C+273.15 is the conversion between Kelvin and Celsius.

Let me know if this helps :)

The volume of a gas decreases from 15.7 mºto 11.2 m3 while the pressure changes from 1.12 atm to 1.67 atm. If the

Answer:

Approximately 261\; \rm K, if this gas is an ideal gas, and that the quantity of this gas stayed constant during these changes.

Explanation:

Let P_1 and P_2 denote the pressure of this gas before and after the changes.

Let V_1 and V_2 denote the volume of this gas before and after the changes.

Let T_1 and T_2 denote the temperature (in degrees Kelvins) of this gas before and after the changes.

Let n_1 and n_2 denote the quantity (number of moles of gas particles) in this gas before and after the changes.

Assume that this gas is an ideal gas. By the ideal gas law, the ratios \displaystyle \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{n_1 \cdot T_1} and \displaystyle \frac{P_2 \cdot V_2}{n_2 \cdot T_2} should both be equal to the ideal gas constant, R.

In other words:

R = \displaystyle \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{n_1 \cdot T_1}.

R =\displaystyle \frac{P_2 \cdot V_2}{n_2 \cdot T_2}.

Combine the two equations (equate the right-hand side) to obtain:

\displaystyle \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{n_1 \cdot T_1} = \frac{P_2 \cdot V_2}{n_2 \cdot T_2}.

Rearrange this equation for an expression for T_2, the temperature of this gas after the changes:

\displaystyle T_2 = \frac{P_2}{P_1} \cdot \frac{V_2}{V_1} \cdot \frac{n_1}{n_2} \cdot T_1.

Assume that the container of this gas was sealed, such that the quantity of this gas stayed the same during these changes. Hence: n_2 = n_1, (n_2 / n_1) = 1.

\begin{aligned} T_2 &= \frac{P_2}{P_1} \cdot \frac{V_2}{V_1} \cdot \frac{n_1}{n_2}\cdot T_1 \\[0.5em] &= \frac{1.67\; \rm atm}{1.12\; \rm atm} \times \frac{11.2\; \rm m^{3}}{15.7\; \rm m^{3}} \times 1 \times 245\; \rm K \\[0.5em] &\approx 261\; \rm K\end{aligned}.

It takes light from the closest star to Earth (other than the Sun) about four years to reach Earth. If intelligent life were on
mafiozo [28]

If the intelligent aliens on that distant planet could receive our signal, and then reply to us INSTANTLY with no delay, then our Scientists on Earth would hear the response <em>eight years after</em> they sent their original greeting.

Light and radio waves both travel through space at the same speed.  If our scientists sent a radio transmission to that distant planet, it would take four years for the radio message to get there and be heard.  Any response would take four years to travel back to us.  If the aliens didn't dilly-dally and sent their response immediately, the round trip would total up to eight years.
