An insulated container contains a monoatomic gas of molar mass ' m '. The container is moving with velocity ' V '. If it is stopped suddenly, the change in temperature is ( R = gas constant)
Options
- AmV ^2 5 R
- BmV ^2 3 R
- CmV ^2 7 R
- DmV ^2 9 R
Correct answer
B. mV ^2 3 R
Step-by-step solution
If the container stops suddenly loss in kinetic energy of gas = 1 2 ( mn ) V ^2 For monoatomic gas, the change in internal energy of the gas is given by, U = 3 2 nR ~T The change in kinetic energy is converted into internal energy, aligned & 3 2 n R T= 1 2 mnV ^2 & ~T = mV ^2 3 R aligned
