MHT CET2010PhysicsKinetic Theory of Gases
The velocity of 4 gas molecules are given by 1 ~km / s , 3 ~km / s , 5 ~km / s and 7 ~km / s . Calculate the difference between average and RMS velocity.
Options
- A0.338
- B0.438
- C0.583
- D0.683
Correct answer
C. 0.583
Step-by-step solution
The average velocity aligned v_ av &= v₁+v₂+v₃ v_ n N &= 1+3+5+7 4 =4 ~km / s aligned Root mean square velocity v_ rms = v₁²+v₂²+v₃²+v₄²+ +v_ n ² N array l = 1+(3)²+(5)²+(7)² 4 = 21 =4.583 ~km / s array Difference between average velocity and root mean square velocity =4.583-4 =0.583 ~km / s
