  • A
    $P_A / V_A = P_B / V_B$
  • B
    $P_A = P_B, V_A \neq V_B$
  • C
    $P_A \neq P_B, V_A = V_B$
  • D
    $P_A V_A = P_B V_B$

$A$ certain amount of an ideal gas is contained in a closed vessel. The vessel is moving with a constant velocity $v$. The molecular mass of the gas is $M$. What is the rise in temperature of the gas when the vessel is suddenly stopped? (Given $\gamma = C_P/C_V$)

An ideal gas has $N$ molecules in a closed box at temperature $T_1$ and pressure $P_1$. If the number of molecules in the box is doubled and the total kinetic energy is kept the same,what will be the new pressure $P_2$ and temperature $T_2$?

$(a)$ When a molecule (or an elastic ball) hits a massive wall,it rebounds with the same speed. When a ball hits a massive bat held firmly,the same thing happens. However,when the bat is moving towards the ball,the ball rebounds with a different speed. Does the ball move faster or slower?
$(b)$ When gas in a cylinder is compressed by pushing in a piston,its temperature rises. Guess at an explanation of this in terms of kinetic theory using $(a)$ above.
$(c)$ What happens when a compressed gas pushes a piston out and expands? What would you observe?
$(d)$ Sachin Tendulkar used a heavy cricket bat while playing. Did it help him in any way?
