Question:medium

Five gas molecules chosen at random are found to have speeds of 500, 600, 700, 800 and 900m/s.

Show Hint

For any distribution of speeds: vᵣms ≥ vₐvg

  • the root mean square speed and the average speed are the same.
  • the root mean square speed is 14m/s higher than the average speed.
  • the root mean square speed is 14m/s lower than the average speed.
  • the root mean square speed is √(14)m/s higher than the average speed.
