Overview of Temperature and Kinetic Theory
- The kinetic theory of gases describes a gas as a large number of small particles (atoms and molecules) in constant, random motion.
- Also, the temperature of an ideal monatomic gas is a measure of the average kinetic energy of its atoms, as illustrated in .
- The kinetic theory of gases uses the model of the ideal gas to relate temperature to the average translational kinetic energy of the molecules in a container of gas in thermodynamic equilibrium .
- Classical mechanics defines the translational kinetic energy of a gas molecule as follows:
- In kinetic theory, the temperature of a classical ideal gas is related to its average kinetic energy per degree of freedom Ek via the equation:
-
Kinetic Molecular Theory and Gas Laws
- The following are the basic assumptions of the Kinetic Molecular Theory:
- According to Kinetic Molecular Theory, an increase in temperature will increase the average kinetic energy of the molecules.
- Increasing the kinetic energy of the particles will increase the pressure of the gas.
- Reviews kinetic energy and phases of matter, and explains the kinetic-molecular theory of gases.
- Express the five basic assumptions of the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases.
-
Relativistic Kinetic Energy
- The classical kinetic energy of an object is related to its momentum by the equation:
- Since the kinetic energy of an object is related to its momentum, we intuitively know that the relativistic expression for kinetic energy will also be different from its classical counterpart.
- Indeed, the relativistic expression for kinetic energy is:
- The general expression for the kinetic energy of an object that is not at rest is:
- At a low speed ($v << c$), the relativistic kinetic energy may be approximated well by the classical kinetic energy.

Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem
- The work-energy theorem states that the work done by all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the particle's kinetic energy.
- The principle of work and kinetic energy (also known as the work-energy theorem) states that the work done by the sum of all forces acting on a particle equals the change in the kinetic energy of the particle.
- This definition can be extended to rigid bodies by defining the work of the torque and rotational kinetic energy.
- The work W done by the net force on a particle equals the change in the particle's kinetic energy KE:
- The kinetic energy of the block increases as a result by the amount of work.
-
Types of Energy
- The various types of energy include kinetic, potential, and chemical energy.
- Energy associated with objects in motion is called kinetic energy.
- Objects transfer their energy between potential and kinetic states.
- Once the ball is released, its kinetic energy increases as the ball picks up speed.
- Moving water, such as in a waterfall or a rapidly flowing river, has kinetic energy.
-
Kinetics
- This sort of study is called kinetics, and the goal is to write an equation that correlates the observed results.
- Chemists refer to the sum n + m as the kinetic order of a reaction.
- The kinetic expressions found for the reactions shown at the beginning of this section are written in blue in the following equations.
- All the reactions save 7 display second order kinetics, reaction 7 is first order.
- On the other hand, the kinetic order of a reaction is an experimentally derived number.

Conservation of Energy in Rotational Motion
- This work went into heat, light, sound, vibration, and considerable rotational kinetic energy.
- Kinetic energy (K.E.) in rotational motion is related to moment of rotational inertia (I) and angular velocity (ω):
- The final rotational kinetic energy equals the work done by the torque:
- This confirms that the work done went into rotational kinetic energy.
- The motor works in spinning the grindstone, giving it rotational kinetic energy.
-
Friction: Kinetic
- If two systems are in contact and moving relative to one another, then the friction between them is called kinetic friction.
- When surfaces in contact move relative to each other, the friction between the two surfaces converts kinetic energy into heat.
- Kinetic energy is converted to heat whenever motion with friction occurs, for example when a viscous fluid is stirred.
- Kinetic (or dynamic) friction occurs when two objects are moving relative to each other and rub together; a sled on the ground would be a good example of kinetic friction.
- The coefficient of kinetic friction is typically represented as $\mu_k$ and is usually less than the coefficient of static friction for the same materials.
-
Inelastic Collisions in One Dimension
- In an inelastic collision the total kinetic energy after the collision is not equal to the total kinetic energy before the collision.
- This is in contrast to an elastic collision in which conservation of total kinetic energy applies.
- While inelastic collisions may not conserve total kinetic energy, they do conserve total momentum.
- A perfectly inelastic collision happens when the maximum amount of kinetic energy in a system is lost.
- The kinetic energy is used on the bonding energy of the two bodies.
