The term "absolute zero" is used for the minimal possible temperature (-273 K).

The term "relative zero" is not a term I know, but it could refer to the difference between two velocities, which are equal. In Physics, independent observers do not observe a velocity of the other if they are moving at the same speed (relative zero). <Feb 18, 2014 - Bruno>

What is the difference between absolute and incremental in CNC programming?

In Absolute mode all positions entered are relative to the current Datum or Zero Point. In Incremental mode all positions are relative to the last point programmed.


What is the difference between kelvin and absolute kelvin?

Kelvin is the absolute temperature - a temperature where absolute zero, the lowest temperature possible, is defined as zero. Therefore, in the phrase "absolute Kelvin", the word "absolute" seems redundant.


Is it possible to achieve absolute zero?

"Nothing is absolute, everything is relative"... Einstein


Is it possible for an object to have zero velocity?

Zero relative velocity to another object, sure no problem. Zero absolute velocity, not possible as there is no absolute reference to compare to.


What is a Vacuum in kilo pascal?

Depends on If it's absolute or relative. Vacuum in any unit is zero in absolute pressure. Vacuum in any unit is -normal air pressure in relative pressure.


How can an absolute value equation help you calculate the distance form one point to another on the coordinate plane when the points are on the same vertical line?

The absolute difference in the vertical direction is zero but the absolute difference in the horizontal direction will be the horizontal distance - which is the distance between the points.


What is the connection between absolute zero and the kelvin temperature scale?

Kelvin is the temperature in degrees Celsius above absolute zero. So 25 Kelvin is 25 degrees Celsius above absolute zero.


Is 8 the difference between -5 and 3?

Yes, the distance between -5 and 3 on a number line is 8. (The distance from -5 to zero is 5, which is the absolute value).


Is there a connection between absolute zero and potential and kinetic energy?

Absolute zero is the (theoretical) limit at which all molecular movement stops (that means that the total kinetic energy of all the molecules in the substance being cooled to absolute zero becomes zero).


What is the difference between -3 and -3?

Zero. In general, the difference between any number and itself is zero.
