Which of the following states that absolute zero cannot be reached?

2 answers:

4 0

The second and third laws of thermodynamics states that absolute zero cannot be reached. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". Both the laws actually deal with the relations that exist between heat and other forms of energy. I hope the answer helps you.

Answer:

D. the third law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

As per third law of thermodynamics we know that entropy of a perfect crystal comes to zero when the temperature of the crystal reaches to absolute zero.

So as per the theory of entropy we know that entropy of a system cannot be zero as it will reach zero then system will not exist.

So here we can say that

As per third law it is not possible to achieve zero kelvin or absolute zero temperature because at that temperature the entropy will become zero and then the system will not exist in that case.

So here we can say the correct answer will be

D. the third law of thermodynamics

Suppose that a balloon is being filled with air at a rate of 10 cm3/s. (Assume that theballoon is a perfect sphere.) At what rat

Basile [38]

Answer:

Therefore the surface area of the balloon is increased at 4 cm³/s.

Explanation:

The balloon is being filled with air at a rate of 10 cm³/s

It means the volume of the balloon is increased at a rate 10 cm³/s.

i.e $\frac{dv}{dt} =10 cm^3/s$

Consider r be the radius of the balloon.

The volume of of a sphere is

$v=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

Differentiate with respect to t

$\frac{dv}{dt} =\frac{4}{3} \pi \times 3r^2\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow 10 =4\pi r^2\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{10}{4\pi r^2}$

The surface of area of the balloon is(S) = $4\pi r^2$

$S=4\pi r^2$

Differentiate with respect to t

$\frac{dS}{dt} =4\pi\times2r\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt} =8\pi r\frac{dr}{dt}$

Putting the value of $\frac{dr}{dt}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt} =8\pi r\times\frac{10}{4\pi r^2}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt} =\frac{20}{ r}$

Given that r = 5 cm

$[\frac{dS}{dt}]_{r=5} =\frac{20}{ 5}$ =4 cm³/s

Therefore the surface area of the balloon is increased at 4 cm³/s.

A student witnesses a flash of lightning and then t=2.5s later the student hears assiciated clap of thunder. (please show work)

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

857.5 m

2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

Explanation:

Time taken by the sound of the thunder to reach the student = 2.5 s

Speed of sound in air is 343 m/s

Speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance travelled by the sound = Time taken by the sound × Speed of sound in air

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 2.5×343 = 857.5 m

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 857.5 m

Time taken by light = Distance the light travelled / Speed of light

$\text{Time taken by light}=\frac{857.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken by light}=2.8583\times 10^{-6}$

Time taken by light = 2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

What is the potential energy of a 2 kg ball 15 m in the air?

oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 2 × 10 × 15

We have the final answer as

Which fact was most likely discovered between the time of Mendeleev’s table and the time of Moseley’s table that helped Moseley

igomit [66]

Answer:

The number of protons in an atom is different than the atom's total mass.

Explanation:

Mendeleev had presented the first structured periodic table in 1869. But, in 1913, Henry Moseley developed the modern periodic table. The crucial difference between the two periodic tables is that Mendeleev's periodic table is generated on the basis of the atomic masses of chemical elements while the chemical element's atomic numbers were the main focus of Moseley's periodic table. There were just 56 chemical elements in Mendeleev's periodic table. On the other hand, 74 chemical elements are presented in Moseley's periodic table.
