Why can't there be a number lower than absolute zero

Absolute zero is not about numbers.  It's about temperature, and the
motion of molecules in gases. 

You know that the temperature we feel with our skin is the result of the
average speed of all the tiny molecules zipping around or vibrating in
the solid, liquid, or gas.

The faster they're all moving, the warmer the substance feels to us. 
The slower they're all moving, the cooler the substance feels to us.

When molecules slow down to zero and lose all of their kinetic energy,
that temperature is what we call 'absolute zero' ... if they're not moving
at all, then they can't move any slower.

<span>Temperature lower than absolute zero is not possible. Lower than absolute zero a gas contain negative pressure and volume which is not possible. temperature is the energy created by moving atoms absoulte zero is a complete stand still you can make particles move to the end of the universe but the coldest temperature will be stuck at the point where atoms are motionless</span>

 An ultrasound pulse used in medical imaging has a frequency of 5 MHz and a pulse width of 0.5 us. Ap- proximately how many osci
podryga [215]

At the frequency of 5 MHz, the period of the oscillations is 1/5meg. That's a period of 1/5 microsecond.

There are 5 full cycles in one full microsecond, and there are 2.5 full cycles in a 0.5 us pulse.

You'll have to decide for yourself how damped a pulse of 2.5 cycles is, because the parameters of the definition are corrupted in the question.

In a container of negligible mass, 0.400 kg of ice at an initial temperature of -29.0 ∘C is mixed with a mass m of water that ha
Pie

Answer:

1 kg

Explanation:

The container has negligible mass and no heat is loss to the surrounding.

Mass of ice = 0.4kg, initial temperature of ice = -29oC, final temperature of the mixture = 26oC, mass of water (m2) = ?kg, initial temperature of water = 80oC, c ( specific heat capacity of water ) = 4200J/kg.K, Lf = heat of fusion of water = 3.36 × 10^5 J/kg

Using the formula:

Quantity of heat gain by ice = Quantity of heat loss by water

Quantity of heat gain by ice = mass of ice × heat of fusion of ice + mass of water × specific heat capacity of water = (0.4 × 3.36 × 10^ 5) + (0.4 × 4200 × (26- (-29) = 13.44 × 10^4 + 9.24 × 10^ 4 = 22.68 × 10^4 J

Quantity of heat loss by water = m2cΔT

Quantity of heat loss by water = m2 ×4200× (80 - 26) = m(226800)

since heat gain = heat loss

22.68 × 10^4 = 226800 m2

divide both side by 226800

226800 / 226800 = m2

m2 = 1 kg
