Magnitude of temperature change?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating the temperature change of a soda bottle placed in a fridge, specifically from 275K to 16K. The initial attempt at solving the problem resulted in an incorrect conversion to Celsius, yielding -257 degrees Celsius. Participants clarify that the question likely asks for the equivalent of 16 degrees Celsius in Kelvin, not 16K. There is confusion regarding the feasibility of a fridge reaching 16K, as it is an extremely low temperature. The conversation emphasizes the need for accurate unit conversion and understanding of temperature scales.

Homework Statement



A kid places a bottle of soda in a fridge and let's the temperature drop to 16K. What is the magnitude of its temperature change [Delta]T = 16 K in degrees Celsius?

Homework Equations



T=275K + deg cel

The Attempt at a Solution



16-273 = -257 degree Celsius (this was marked wrong) :/ PLEASE HELP!

Im almost positive your question is asking you what is 16 C in degrees K. no fridge can go to 16K.
 
BUMP! please i need this

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
