Some Pirates have stolen some Silver coins that are mixed with some fake Aluminum coins, You are told if you can separate them they will let you live. The coins are the exact same size and appearance. You can choose to do it one of the following ways : I. You can weight each of the coins. If you know which metal is denser, you can tell them apart because one will be heaver. II. All of the methods would work, but I would still die because I don't know any of that stuff. III. You can melt the coins down. If you know the Latent Heat of Fusion , you know which one will melt first and can separate them. IV. You can heat the coins 2 at a time, If you know the Specific Heat of the metals , you can tell them apart because one will heat up faster.
Kinetic Theory of Gas
The Kinetic Theory of gases is a classical model of gases, according to which gases are composed of molecules/particles that are in random motion. While undergoing this random motion, kinetic energy in molecules can assume random velocity across all directions. It also says that the constituent particles/molecules undergo elastic collision, which means that the total kinetic energy remains constant before and after the collision. The average kinetic energy of the particles also determines the pressure of the gas.
P-V Diagram
A P-V diagram is a very important tool of the branch of physics known as thermodynamics, which is used to analyze the working and hence the efficiency of thermodynamic engines. As the name suggests, it is used to measure the changes in pressure (P) and volume (V) corresponding to the thermodynamic system under study. The P-V diagram is used as an indicator diagram to control the given thermodynamic system.
