Ten particles are moving with the following speeds: four at 300 m/s, two at 500 m/s, and four at 600 m/s. Calculate their (a) average and (b)rms speeds. (c) Is `v_(rms ) gt v_(avg )` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to calculate the average speed and the root mean square (RMS) speed of the ten particles moving at different speeds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Identify the speeds and their frequencies.** - We have 10 particles with the following speeds: - 4 particles at 300 m/s - 2 particles at 500 m/s ...
