A mole of hydrogen gas with a volume of 0.080 m³ is compressed adiabatically to half of its original volume. If the initial average kinetic energy per hydrogen molecule is 1.38x10^-20 J, what are the initial and the final pressure of the hydrogen gas? Assume that hydrogen is a diatomic gas.

In order to place a satellite into orbit, it requires enough fuel to supply the necessary mechanical energy. into what types of mechanical energy does the fuel get transformed?

Agas contained within a piston-cylinder assembly undergoes three processes in series: process 12: compression with pv= constant from 1 bar and 1 liter to 4 bar. process 23: constant pressure expansion to 1 liter. process 31: constant volume calculate the pressure and volume at each state, and sketch the processes on a p-vdiagram labeled with pressure and volume values at each numbered stat

In the first law of thermodynamics, triangle e=q-w, what does q stand for
