Question

A cylinder of mass (m) and initial volume (V1) that contains (N) number of gaseous argon atoms of temperature (T₁) is slid across a frictionless floor at velocity (v) until it collides with a wall. When it collides with the wall the cylinder compresses the gas inside adiabatically to volume (V₂). There is no recoil from the collision and the compression continues until the cylinder stops sliding.

1) Calculate the work done on the gas during the adiabatic compression. (Final temperature = T₂)

2) Right after the cylinder stops, how much has the internal energy of the gas changed
