Mini-Quiz: Equations for Temperature Limits

1. Why is an ideal gas used for temperature limit equations?

   All gases are lighter than airSorry, not correct. Try another button. Real world equations are highly complexThat is correct. You are doing great. An ideal gas is used to get an ideal temperatureGood try, but not right. Select another answer.

2. What does Boltzmann's constant do?

   It is a number that gives the relation between energy and temperatureCorrect. You are a genius! It is a number that shows the temperature at both extremesOops! Wrong answer. Re-read the question and try again. It is a way to honor Harry BoltzmannSorry, not correct. Try another button.

3. Why is can't the maximum temperature be reached?

   The mass of the particles increase when approaching the speed of lightThat is correct. You are doing great. The temperature actually decreases when particles approach the speed of lightGood try, but not right. Select another answer. It can be if enough heat is suppliedSorry, not correct.
