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.

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

A mass M is attached to an ideal massless spring. When this system is set in motion with amplitude A, it has a period T. What is

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

The period of the motion will still be equal to T.

Explanation:

for a system with mass = M

attached to a massless spring.

If the system is set in motion with an amplitude (distance from equilibrium position) A

and has period T

The equation for the period T is given as

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{k} }$

where k is the spring constant

If the amplitude is doubled, the distance from equilibrium position to the displacement is doubled.

Increasing the amplitude also increases the restoring force. An increase in the restoring force means the mass is now accelerated to cover more distance in the same period, so the restoring force cancels the effect of the increase in amplitude. Hence, increasing the amplitude has no effect on the period of the mass and spring system.

To win a prize at the county fair, you're trying to knock down a heavy bowling pin by hitting it with a thrown object. Should yo

Setler [38]

Answer:

Being an elastic object, rubber ball will be an ideal choice as it will bounce off the bowling pit and will experience a large change in momentum in comparison with the beanbag which will either slow down or come to a halt upon hitting a bowling pit. That is why rubber ball will experience a greater impulse and the bowling pin will experience the negative impulse of the rubber ball.

For Rubber Ball

Upon elastic collision it will reverses the direction and move with velocity equal or less then original

change in momentum = P

$P = m(v_{f} -v_{i})\\v_{f}=-v_{i} \\ P = -2mv_{i}$

For Beanbag

value of impulse will large if velocity is zero.

$v_{f}=0\\ P = -mv_{i}$
