Does a gas has a higher temp. when the container is moving as compared to when its at rest?
Question : Does a gas has a higher temp. when the container is moving as compared to when its at rest?
A lil reason behind ur claim would b appreciated.
If the speed of the container is v. how much higher the temp of the gas would b. if its monoatomic with molecular weight M. in case the temp is in fact higher.
moving containers

Answer by b b
yes… when the container is in motion, the molecules of gas would rub each other which generate heat. Thus, higher temp.

No change in heat whatsoever. Except in the case that the container is moving through something that creates friction between the medium which its moving through and the outside of the container, thus heating the contents. The inside is unaffected because it is enclosed. just like you are unaffected by being in a car or plane while going any speed. except friction like the kind a space shuttle encounters upon re-entry. The molecules are moving at a faster speed… yet its a minute amount compared to the speed at which they are moving relative to each other. and no matter how fast the container is moving the molecules all have the same energy because they are moving the same speed relative to each other.

The temperature of the gas is related to the amount of random energy of the gas molecules. If the container as a whole is moving, the gas molecules may have extra kinetic energy but it is not random, hence it is not heat. The temperature of the gas is therefore the same regardless of the motion of the (unaccelerated) frame of reference with regard to the (unaccelerated) container.
