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

2 answers:

5 0

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>

Answer:

Part i)

h = 5.44 m

Part ii)

h = 3.16 m

Explanation:

Part i)

Since the ball is rolling so its total kinetic energy in this case will convert into gravitational potential energy

So we have

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = mgh$

here we know that for spherical shell and pure rolling conditions

$v = R \omega$

$I = \frac{2}{3}mR^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3}mR^2)(\frac{v^2}{R^2}) = mgh$

$\frac{5}{6}mv^2 = mgh$

$h = \frac{5v^2}{6g}$

$h = \frac{5(8^2)}{6(9.81)} = 5.44 m$

Part b)

If ball is not rolling and just sliding over the hill then in that case

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh$

$h = \frac{v^2}{2g}$

$h = \frac{8^2}{2(9.81)} = 3.16 m$

A 1 m3tank containing air at 10oC and 350 kPa is connected through a valve to another tank containing 3 kg of air at 35oC and 15

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

- the volume of the second tank is 1.77 m³

- the final equilibrium pressure of air is 221.88 kPa ≈ 222 kPa

Explanation:

Given that;

$V_{A}$ = 1 m³

$T_{A}$ = 10°C = 283 K

$P_{A}$ = 350 kPa

$m_{B}$ = 3 kg

$T_{B}$ = 35°C = 308 K

$P_{B}$ = 150 kPa

Now, lets apply the ideal gas equation;

$P_{B}$ $V_{B}$ = $m_{B}$ R $T_{B}$

$V_{B}$ = $m_{B}$ R $T_{B}$ / $P_{B}$

The gas constant of air R = 0.287 kPa⋅m³/kg⋅K

we substitute

$V_{B}$ = ( 3 × 0.287 × 308) / 150

$V_{B}$ = 265.188 / 150

$V_{B}$ = 1.77 m³

Therefore, the volume of the second tank is 1.77 m³

Also, $m_{A}$ = $P_{A}$ $V_{A}$ / R $T_{A}$ = (350 × 1)/(0.287 × 283) = 350 / 81.221

$m_{A}$ = 4.309 kg

Total mass, $m_{f}$ = $m_{A}$ + $m_{B}$ = 4.309 + 3 = 7.309 kg

Total volume $V_{f}$ = $V_{A}$ + $V_{B}$ = 1 + 1.77 = 2.77 m³

Now, from ideal gas equation;

$P_{f}$ = $m_{f}$ R $T_{f}$ / $V_{f}$

given that; final temperature $T_{f}$ = 20°C = 293 K

we substitute

$P_{f}$ = ( 7.309 × 0.287 × 293) / 2.77

$P_{f}$ = 614.6211119 / 2.77

$P_{f}$ = 221.88 kPa ≈ 222 kPa

Therefore, the final equilibrium pressure of air is 221.88 kPa ≈ 222 kPa
