3. If nothing can ever be at absolute zero, why does the concept exist?

The absolute zero in temperature refers to the minimal possible temperature. It is the temperature at which the molecules of a system stop moving, so it is a really useful reference point.

<h3>Why absolute zero can't be reached?</h3>

It would mean that we need to remove all the energy from a system, but to do this we need to interact with the system in some way, and by interacting with it we give it "some" energy.

Actually, from a quantum mechanical point of view, the absolute zero has a residual energy (so it is not actually zero) and it is called the "zero point". This happens because it must meet <u>Heisenberg's uncertainty principle</u>.

So yes, the absolute zero can't be reached, but there are really good approximations (At the moment there is a difference of about 150 nanokelvins between the absolute zero and the smallest temperature reached). Also, there are a lot of investigations near the absolute zero, like people that try to reach it or people that just need to work with really low temperatures, like in type I superconductors.

So, concluding, why does the concept exist?

  • Because it is a reference point.
  • It is the theoretical temperature at which the molecules stop moving, defining this as the <u>minimum possible temperature.</u>

The fracture toughness of a stainless steel is 137 MPa*m12. What is the tensile impact load sustainable before fracture that a r
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

7.7 kN

Explanation:

The capacity of a material having a crack to withstand fracture is referred to as fracture toughness.

It can be expressed by using the formula:

K = \sigma Y \sqrt{\pi a}

where;

fracture toughness K = 137 MPam^{1/2}

geometry factor Y = 1

applied stress \sigma = ???

crack length a = 2mm = 0.002

∴

137 =\sigma \times 1  \sqrt{ \pi \times 0.002 }

137 =\sigma \times 0.07926

\dfrac{137}{0.07926} =\sigma

\sigma = 1728.489 MPa

Now, the tensile impact obtained is:

\sigma = \dfrac{P}{A}

P = A × σ

P = 1728.289 × 4.5

P = 7777.30 N

P = 7.7 kN

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

  • 100N
  • 25N

Explanation:

a) On the verge of tipping over, reaction acts at the corner A

When slippage occurs,

Block moves w/ const. velocity  equilibrium

Three-force member: reaction at A must pass through B

tan b/2h, h b/ 2 θ µ = = ∴= k k ( µ )

b) When slippage occurs,

Block moves w/ const. velocity  equilibrium

Three-force member: reaction at C must pass through G

k tanθ µ =

tan x/ H/2 , x H/2
