Degrees of Freedom & Internal Energy

An insulated container contains a monoatomic gas of molar mass 'mm'. The container is moving with velocity 'VV'. If it is stopped suddenly, the change in temperature of a gas is [R is gas constant]

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Per mole: 12MV2=CvΔT\frac{1}{2}MV^2 = C_v\Delta T.
  2. Monoatomic: Cv=32RC_v = \frac{3}{2}R.
  3. ΔT=MV23R\Delta T = \frac{MV^2}{3R}
  4. So the answer is (c) MV23R\frac{MV^2}{3R}.
