Experimentally you get 0 +/- 3 g. What is the relative uncertainty in this case? Explain your answer.
The only formula I know would make the relative uncertainty undefined. Is there another way to calculate relative uncertainty in this case?
As we have been slowly discovering more and more about the atoms we have encountered several different models of the atoms. All of these models have issues. One of the most common issues is the scale of the subatomic particles. Like the image below
The proton in this model is too large. Given the following measurement, how many protons would need to set side-by-side to to equal the width of a hydrogen atom?
The radius of a proton is 0.5636 fm (Femtometer).
The diameter of a hydrogen atom is 7.5 Angstroms.

- Could someone explain to me in detail why bringing a crystal substance to absolute zero isn't possible? I know it's not because of quantum mechanics and uncertainty like some people say, because particals at their lowest zero-point will have a temperature of exactly 0 K, even though they're still experiencing motion. From what I've gathered, the energy or time required to pull it off is infinite, but I can't find any equations or clear explanations as to why or how that is. And I also don't know if there's any other reasons beyond that. If you could give me a thourough a breakdown for how absolute zero is impossible as you possibly could, I'd greatly appreciate it. Take as much extra time as you need. As long as it's detailed and correct I'm happy.
