I was thinking the pressure of gas

anonymous · Answer

If you have just the temperature, then you know P*V, but that doesn't necessarily mean you know just the pressure, right?

anonymous · Answer

don't we need the velocity to know the kinetic energy!

Check the link I posted above, it'll explain it.

oh yeah now it make sense 
thank you so much man
