How do I find average kinetic energy if I don't have mass of the gas?

AI Thread Summary
To find the average kinetic energy of a gas without knowing its mass, it's crucial to identify the complete problem and relevant equations. The ideal gas law and kinetic theory can provide insights, as they relate temperature to kinetic energy. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the context and specific parameters involved in the problem. Additionally, clarification on terms like "single atom pressure" may be necessary for a comprehensive understanding. Seeking guidance from educational resources can also aid in resolving such issues effectively.

Homework Statement
I have single atom pressure (p) and molecule concentration (n) and I need to find average kinetic energy (EKavg)
Relevant Equations
NA
So always in my problems i had mass (M) but now i don't and it seems impossible to solve this problem if I don't have mass I think i am missing something. I was looking for similar problems in my book and internet and didn't find any.

What is "single atom pressure"? I am unfamiliar with the term.
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
