Question

the following questions deal with absolute zero. true statements which of the following are true about absolute zero? choose all that apply. its the temperature at which water becomes ice. the particles that make up the object are not moving. its the temperature at which all liquids freeze. the temperature of absolute zero is 0 k. the particles that make up the object are still moving. the object can not get any colder.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• "It’s the temperature at which water becomes ice": Water freezes at 0°C (273.15 K), not absolute zero (0 K), so this is false.
• "The particles that make up the object are NOT moving": At absolute zero, the theoretical minimum thermal motion (kinetic energy) of particles is zero, meaning they are not moving (in terms of thermal motion), so this is true.
• "It’s the temperature at which all liquids freeze": Different liquids freeze at different temperatures, and absolute zero is not related to all liquids freezing, so this is false.
• "The temperature of absolute zero is 0 K": By definition, absolute zero is 0 Kelvin, so this is true.
• "The particles that make up the object are STILL moving": At absolute zero, thermal motion is zero, so particles are not moving (thermally), so this is false.
• "The object can not get any colder": Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature, so an object at absolute zero can't get colder, so this is true.

Answer:

• The particles that make up the object are NOT moving.
• The temperature of absolute zero is 0 K.
• The object can not get any colder.
