Problem

In a long heat-insulated pipe between two identical pistons of mass m each, there is 1 mole of monatomic gas at a temperature T₀. At the initial moment, the speeds of the pistons are directed in one direction and are equal to 3v and v. To what maximum temperature will the gas heat up? Pistons do not conduct heat. The mass of gas in comparison with the mass of pistons is ignored.
