An insulated box containing a monoatomic gas of molar mass (M) moving with a speed `v_0` is suddenly stopped. Find the increment is gas temperature as a result of stopping the box.

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Decrease in kinetic energy = increase in internal energy of the gas
`:. 1/2 m v_0^2 = (n f)/2 R Delta T = (m/M)(3/2 R)Delta T`
`:. Delta T = (M v_0^2)/(3 R)`.
