Five gas molecules chosen at random are found to have speeds of 500,600m,700,800 and 900 `m//s` Then,
A. the rms speed and the average speed are the same
B. the rms speed is `14 m//s` higher than the average speed
C. the rms speed is `14 m//s` higher than the average speed
D. the rms speed is `sqrt(14) m//s` lower that the average speed

Correct Answer - B
)`therefore V_(av) =(500+600+700+800+900)/(5)`
`=3500/5=700m//s`
and `V_(rms)=sqrt([((500)^(2)+(600)^(2)+(700)^(2)+(800)^(2)+(900)^(2))/(5)])`
hence, the rms speed is `14 m//s` higher than the average speed.
