Thermal properties and temperature — practice question

State the lowest possible temperature, absolute zero, and describe what happens to the particles’ energy at this temperature?

  • Alowest possible temperature: $-273\,^\circ\text{C}$; particle energy: particles have least kinetic energy
  • Blowest possible temperature: $-273\,^\circ\text{C}$; particle energy: particles have zero gravitational potential energy
  • Clowest possible temperature: $0\,^\circ\text{C}$; particle energy: particles have least kinetic energy
  • Dlowest possible temperature: $0\,^\circ\text{C}$; particle energy: particles have zero gravitational potential energy
