(b) The gas is then compressed adiabatically and quasi-statically until its volume is and its pressure is 1.32 Is the gas monatomic, diatomic, or polyatomic? (c) How does the translational kinetic energy of the gas change in each stage of this process?

If a hole is punctured in a tire, the gas inside will gradually leak out. Assume the following: The area of the hole is the tire volume is and the time, it takes for most of the air to leak out of the tire can be expressed in terms of the ratio the temperature the Boltzmann constant and the initial mass m of the gas inside the tire. (a) Based on these assumptions, use dimensional analysis to find an estimate for (b) Use the result of Part (a) to estimate the time it takes for a car tire with a nail hole punched in it to go flat.
