Basic Monatomic Ideal Gas Speed/Temperature Relationship

jacksonpeeble · Jan 8, 2010

What would happen to the temperature (in Kelvin) if the speed of every atom in a monatomic ideal gas were doubled (specifically, what multiplication factor would be used)?

cavalier · Jan 8, 2010

Temperature is proportional to the kinetic energy. If the speed of every atom doubles, the temperature would rise by a factor of 4.

Thanks, that makes sense.
