Physics

In a test of the elasticity of basketballs, a basketball firedby an air gun against a solid wall, compressing it to 80.0 % of itsoriginal volume. The air inside the ball (assume it is all N2 gas)is originally at a temperature of 20.0 ∘C and a pressure of 2.00atm. The ball's radius is 11.95 cm.

A. What temperature does the air in the ball reach at itsmaximum compression? Assume that the compression of the air duringthe bounce is adiabatic.

B. By how much does the internal energy of the air changebetween the ball's original state and its maximum compression?
