Initial pressure and volume of a monoatomic ideal gas are $P$ and $V$. The change in internal energy of this gas in adiabatic expansion to volume $V_{final} = 27V$ is . . . . . . $J$.

Identify the characteristics of an adiabatic process in a monoatomic gas.
$(A)$ Internal energy is constant.
$(B)$ Work done in the process is equal to the change in internal energy (in magnitude).
$(C)$ The product of temperature and volume is a constant.
$(D)$ The product of pressure and volume is a constant.
$(E)$ The work done to change the temperature from $T_1$ to $T_2$ is proportional to $(T_2 - T_1)$.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Assertion $(A)$: When an ideal gas is compressed adiabatically,its temperature and the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules increase.
Reason $(R)$: The kinetic energy increases because of collisions of molecules with the moving parts of the wall.
