Doing work on a gas: effect on temperature
Doing work on a gas: effect on temperature
Increases temperature
Work done on gas formula
Work done on gas formula
Meaning of doing work on a gas
Meaning of doing work on a gas
Compressing or expanding gas (changing volume)
More particles, fixed volume: collisions
More particles, fixed volume: collisions
More collisions per unit time with walls
More particles, fixed volume: pressure
More particles, fixed volume: pressure
Pressure increases
More gas in fixed volume: heating
More gas in fixed volume: heating
Heats gas (energy transferred to particles)
Smaller volume: particle-wall interaction
Smaller volume: particle-wall interaction
Particles collide with inward-moving wall
Smaller volume: effect on momentum
Smaller volume: effect on momentum
Particles gain momentum
Why momentum gained (smaller volume)
Why momentum gained (smaller volume)
Rebound velocity > approaching velocity
Smaller volume: pressure effect
Smaller volume: pressure effect
Pressure increases
Smaller volume: why pressure rises
Smaller volume: why pressure rises
More frequent collisions, less time between
Smaller volume: temperature effect
Smaller volume: temperature effect
Temperature increases
Smaller volume: kinetic energy effect
Smaller volume: kinetic energy effect
Kinetic energy of each particle increases
