Have researchers have now been able to cool substances to absolute zero

1 answer:

6 0

It's a law of nature, which I don't understand too well, that we can
cool things as close to Absolute Zero as we want to, but we can
never get all the way there.

I think that individual atoms and molecules have been cooled in
the laboratory to within a few thousandths of a Celsius degree
of it ... actually not too shabby an accomplishment !

WOW ! I just went and searched online for more information
on this subject. (You can't imagine what great stuff you can find
by doing that. You ought to try it some time.)

The 1997 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to a team of three
physicists who invented a method of using lasers to slow down the
motion of atoms, and that's the same thing as cooling them. They
were able to cool some atoms to a temperature of 240 millionths
of a degree above Absolute Zero !

Explain about kinetic theory

Luden [163]

Answer:

The model, called the kinetic theory of gases, assumes that the molecules are very small relative to the distance between molecules. ... The molecules are in constant random motion, and there is an energy (mass x square of the velocity) associated with that motion. The higher the temperature, the greater the motion.

Which of the following statements is true?

xenn [34]

Correct answer choice is :

C) The freezing and melting temperatures of a substance are the same.

Explanation:

Fluids have a particular temperature at which they convert into solids, identified as their freezing point. In theory, the melting point of a solid should be the same as the freezing point of the liquid. In practice, small variations among these measures can be seen. The freezing point of a matter is the same as that substance's melting point. At this distinct temperature, the substance can exist as either a solid or a liquid. At temperatures below the freezing/ melting point, the substance is a solid.

A mass of 5 kg of saturated water vapor at 150 kPa is heated at constant pressure until the temperature reaches 200°C. Calculate

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The work done by the steam is 213 kJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 5 kg

Pressure = 150 kPa

Temperature = 200°C

We need to calculate the specific volume

Using formula of work done

$W=Pm\DeltaV$

$W=Pm(\dfrac{RT_{1}}{P_{atm}}-\dfrac{RT_{2}}{P_{atm}}$

$W=\dfrac{PmR}{P_{atm}}(T_{2}-T_{1})$

Where,R = gas constant

T = temperature

P = pressure

$P_{atm}$ =Atmosphere pressure

m = mass

Put the value into the formula

$W=\dfrac{150\times10^{3}\times5\times287.05}{1.01\times10^{5}}\times(473-373)$

$W=213\ kJ$

Hence, The work done by the steam is 213 kJ.

Answer:

Verified that he oscillations are exactly isosynchronous with frequency ω0 = p g/l, independent of the amplitude.

Explanation:

Starting from the first principle for the derivation and to prove that the oscillations are exactly isosynchronous with frequency ω0 = p g/l, independent of the amplitude. The mathematical manipulations was applied, trigonometric identities was also applied.The steps and explanation are shown in the attachment.

A student has the following equipment - copper wire, nail made of iron,a battery, paperclips.

ahrayia [7]

The first step would be to create an electromagnet. You can create an electromagnet by winding a copper wire around the nail, the connect both ends to the battery. A current would start flowing around the nail through the wire, creating an electromagnet with its own magnetic field. Next, bringing the electromagnet to the mixture of copper and iron would slowly attract the pieces of iron (as copper is weakly magnetic). Do this slowly and the iron pieces would all slowly be separated from the copper pieces.
