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

1 answer:

3 0

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>

Give two methods on how powder is produced in powder metallurgy.

Katen [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Atomization using gas stream</u>

Molten metal is forced through a small orifice and is shatter by a jet of compressed air,inert gas .

In Atomization, the particles shape is analysed by the rate of solidification and varies from spherical to highly irregular shape.

Reduction

oxide of metals are transformed to pure metal powder when undefended to under melting point gases results in a product of spongy material.

It is used for Iron,copper,tungsten,Nickel etc.

answer :

A) Determine changes in the 50-mm dimensions

The changes are : 0.006mm compression in y-direction

0.002 mm expansion in x and z directions

B) the stress required are evenly distributed

Explanation:

<em>Given data</em> :

50-mm cube of graphite fiber reinforced polymer matrix

subjected to 125-KN force in direction 2,

direction 2 is perpendicular to fiber direction ( direction 1 ) and cube is constrained against expansion in direction 3

A) Determine changes in the 50-mm dimensions

The changes are : 0.006mm compression in y-direction

0.002 mm expansion in x and z directions

B) the stress required are evenly distributed

Write a program to calculate overtime pay of 10 employees. Overtime is paid at the rate of Rs. 12.00

fgiga [73]

Answer:

Here is the code.

Explanation:

#include<stdio.h>

int main()

{

int i, time_worked, over_time, overtime_pay = 0;

for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++)

{

printf("\nEnter the time employee worked in hr ");

scanf("%d", &time_worked);

if (time_worked>40)

{

over_time = time_worked - 40;

overtime_pay = overtime_pay + (12 * over_time);

}

printf("\nTotal Overtime Pay Of 10 Employees Is %d", overtime_pay);

return 0;

}

Output :

Enter the time employee worked in hr 42

Enter the time employee worked in hr 45

Enter the time employee worked in hr 42

Enter the time employee worked in hr 41

Enter the time employee worked in hr 50

Enter the time employee worked in hr 51

Enter the time employee worked in hr 52

Enter the time employee worked in hr 53

Enter the time employee worked in hr 54

Enter the time employee worked in hr 55

Total Overtime Pay Of 10 Employees Is 1020.

A long corridor has a single light bulb and two doors with light switch at each door.

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Let A represent the first switch, B represent the second switch and C represent the bulb. Also, let 0 mean turned off and 1 mean turned on. Since when both switches are in the same position, the light is off. This can be represented by the following truth table:

A B C (output)

0 0 0

0 1 1

1 0 1

1 1 0

The logic circuit can be represented by:

C = A'B + AB'

The output (bulb) is on if the switches are at different positions; if the switches are at the same position, the output (bulb) is off. This is an XOR gate. The gate is represented in the diagram attached below.
