A certain amount of ideal monatomic gas is maintained at constant volume as it is cooled from 455K to 405 K. This feat is accomplished by removing 400 J of heat from the gas. How much work is done by the gas during this process? The ideal gas constant is R = 8.314 J/mol • K.

Consider two less-than-desirable options. in the first you are driving 30 mph and crash head-on into an identical car also going 30 mph. in the second option you are driving 30 mph and crash head-on into a stationary brick wall. in neither case does your car bounce off the thing it hits, and the collision time is the same in both cases. which of these two situations would result in the greatest impact force?
