making the water cold. He determined that the particles of the water were simply moving farther apart‚ causing the barrel to expand. Not only was Boyle the first scientist to prove that cold was not a substance‚ but he was also among the first to use an accurate thermometer. Accurate thermometers did not exist until the mid 17th century. They used alcohol‚ as opposed to mercury‚ and had no universally accepted way of measuring

1 Visit the following URL: What is absolute zero? A According to this website‚ what is the definition of "absolute zero"? Ans: Absolute Zero‚ is when the molecules of the object can no longer oscillate/shake‚ due to the temperature being too cold‚ that kinetic energy Is too weak to do anything. The time when the oscalation is slowed to the point it can no longer be slowed down‚ that is when it has reached “absolute zero”‚ but even then‚ oscalation can never really be put to a stop. B Why is the

Variables: Dependant Variable: Volume Independent Variable: Temperature Hypothesis: The volume of the water will increase as temperature increases‚ since the distance of the particles in the water between each other increases‚ making the water "expand"‚ increasing the volume of the water.

and Absolute Zero Date of experiment: November 4‚ 2010 Date submitted: November 11‚ 2010 Introduction: As per Charles’ Law‚ there is a linear relationship between the temperature and volume of a gas. Charles discovered that -273°C is the point at which a gas has no volume. Since that’s as cold as he thought things could ever get‚ that originated the idea of absolute zero. In this experiment‚ Charles’ Law was applied and made into data to determine an experimental value for Absolute Zero. To

Me1 Problem Set #2 The US College Enrollment and the “Third Law of Demand” A theorem proposed by Professors Alchian and Allen in their text‚ University Economics (1964) has had several rebirths of interest in the literature. The so-called “third law of demand‚” or “relative price theorem‚” holds that a fixed cost added to a good of varying quality causes the consumer to prefer the category considered of higher quality to the lower. Recently a number of studies‚ keeping this theorem in mind have
