For any distribution of speeds `v_(rms) ge v_(av)` Is this statement true or false ? |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - A Suppose `n_(1)` molecules have `v_(1)` velocity and `n_(2)` molecules have `v_(2) velocity. Then, `v_(av) = (n_1 v_1 + n_2 v_2)/(n_2 + n_2)` But, `v_(rms) = sqrt((n_1 v_1^2 + n_2 v_2^2)/(n_1 +n_2)` Now, `v_(rms) ge v_(av)` because `v_1" and" v_2` may be in opposite directions also. |
