Gas Properties and Kinetic Energy

This chapter discusses the properties of gases and the mean free paths of molecules. It also explores the increase in molecular speed and its effect on average translational kinetic energy. Additionally, it covers the degrees of freedom of a bead on a wire and thermal interactions between systems. Finally, it examines entropy and the second law of thermodynamics.
