The following is just an informal discussion, to show why it is reasonable. Work = force x distance. Now, it requires a force to compress a gas. For simplicity, assume a piston of constant diameter. At higher pressures, the force required is greater. And a greater change in volume implies a larger distance.

How is it possible to say that area under the curve on pv diagram gives magnitude of the work doen on a gas?

The area under the curve on a pressure-volume (PV) diagram represents the work done on a gas during a process because work is defined as the area under a pressure-volume curve. The magnitude of the work done is proportional to the area enclosed by the curve on the PV diagram, with the sign of the work determined by the direction of the process (expansion or compression).


What do you multiply in a venn diagram to find the GCF?

You multiply all the numbers in the center of the Venn Diagram. This gives you the highest possible number that goes into both numbers.

What does the magnitude of the vector tell you about the value?

The magnitude of a vector represents its length or size. It gives information about the strength or intensity of the quantity being represented by the vector. The larger the magnitude, the greater the value of the vector.
