What quantity is required to determine the average translational kinetic energy of a gas particle in a straight line?
Options
- AThe mass of the gas particle
- BThe number of gas molecules
- CThe value of mean of square of speeds
- DThe temperature of the gas
Correct answer
C. The value of mean of square of speeds
Step-by-step solution
To calculate the average translational kinetic energy for the movement of a gas particle in a straight line, you need the value of the mean of the square of speeds (u²) of all molecules.
