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 is ( R=R = gas constant)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  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 (b) mV23R\frac{mV^2}{3R}.
