Question

The figure shows a hypothetical speed distribution for a sample of N gas particles (note that P(v) = 0 for speed v > 2v0). What are the values of (a)av0, (b)vavg/v0, and (c)vrms/v0? (d) What fraction of the particles has a speed between 1.5v0and 2.0v0?

Chapter 19, Problem 37 The figure shows a hypothetical speed distribution for a sample of N gas particles (note that P(v) = 0 for speed v > 2v0). What are the values of (a)av0, (b)vavg/v0, and (c)vrms/v0? (d) What fraction of the particles has a speed between 1.5v0and 2.0v0?

Explanation / Answer
