The speed of three particles is recorded as 3 m/s, 4 m/s, and 5 m/s. What is a root mean square speed of these particles? Correct Answer 4.082 m/s

The root means square speed of particles is nothing but the square root over the sum of squares of the particle’s speeds by a total number of particles. So by substituting, √32 + 42 + 52/3 = 4.082 m/s.
