Absolute temperature is a thermodynamic temperature and is used as the standard temperature unit. Temperature comes from the kinetic energy of a matters particle and random motions. When motion stops, it is considered absolute zero.

Temperature is a measurement of random thermal motion. If particles are motionless, then they have no heat at all, and therefore their temperature is absolute zero. In practice you can never get to absolute zero, although you can get very close.

How fast do molescules move when object is cooled?

That depends how cool you make the molecules. Theoretically at Absolute zero (0k) molecules are supposed to cease to vibrate. I say theoretically, because absolute Zero is unobtainable and also it doesn't take into account movement at the Quantum scale.


When one object heats another does the temperature increase of on object always equal the temperature decrease of the other object?

No. You must take into account the mass of the objects AND the specific heat of the objects.


How many flavors of quark are there?

As far as we know, quarks are the smallest particles to exist. We have found 6:- Top- Bottom- Up- Down- Strange- CharmEach of the quarks also has a property called color charge. These are red, green, and blue. Particles that are constituted of quarks must be color neutral. In all, there are 18 different possible types of quarks if one does not count antimatter. When antimatter is taken into account, that number increases to 36.


Why is a neutral atom not charged through it is made up of positive and negative particles?

The individual particles may be charged. Each electron has a charge of -1, and each proton +1.But if the atom has the same number of electrons as protons, then there is no overall charge on the atom.It is a bit like having a bank account. Over a month, say, you may put in $200 (call it a positive of 200) and take out $200 (negative 200). But over the whole month the balance is zero.
