Could someone explain to me in detail why bringing a crystal substance to absolute zero isn't possible?
I know it's not because of quantum mechanics and uncertainty like some people say, because particals at their lowest zero-point will have a temperature of exactly 0 K, even though they're still experiencing motion.
From what I've gathered, the energy or time required to pull it off is infinite, but I can't find any equations or clear explanations as to why or how that is. And I also don't know if there's any other reasons beyond that.
If you could give me a thourough a breakdown for how absolute zero is impossible as you possibly could, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Take as much extra time as you need. As long as it's detailed and correct I'm happy. Though ideally I would before it come in before the end of the day.

Please use simplistic terminology for the answers doesn’t have to to be long.arrow_forwardI am struggling with getting this question done and need some help solving it, explain and make sure the answer is 100% correct. When a fast electron (i.e., one moving at a relativistic speed) passes by a heavy atom, it interacts with the atom's electric field. As a result, the electron's kinetic energy is reduced; the electron slows down. In the meantime, a photon of light is emitted. The kinetic energy lost by the electron equals the energy Eγ�� of a photon of radiated light: Eγ=K−K′��=�−�′, where K� and K′�′ are the kinetic energies of the electron before and after radiation, respectively. This kind of radiation is called bremsstrahlung radiation, which in German means "braking radiation" or "deceleration radiation." The highest energy of a radiated photon corresponds to the moment when the electron is completely stopped. Part A.

- Although all energy is kinetic and potential* it is convenient to break it up into coherent macroscopic kinetic energy (KE), macroscopic potential energy (PE), thermal energy (ThE = kinetic and potential energy of molecules due to random motion), chemical energy (ChE = kinetic and potential energy of electrons in atoms in molecule). Consider a small rocket placed on a pad containing an electrical igniter. The rocket is attached to a small packet of chemical explosive in its tail. The igniter lights a short fuse that ignites the chemical explosive shooting the rocket upward. It rises straight up about 50 feet, then falls to the ground where it bounces and comes to a stop.Consider three times: t0 = just after the explosion has completed but the rocket has not risen much t1 = the rocket is just at the top t2 = the rocket has fallen to the ground and come to a stop Identify what has happened to the various energies of the rocket (not including the explosive packet or fuse) from the…arrow_forwardI do not know how to solve the attached phyiscs question.arrow_forwardit's urgent please solve asaparrow_forward
