Q.
Consider a gas with density ρ and cˉ root mean square velocity of its molecules contained in a volume. If the system moves as whole with velocity v, then the pressure exerted by the gas is
Root-mean-square speed is the measure of the speed of particles in a gas which is most convenient for problem solving within the kinetic theory of gases vrms=M3RT ⇒C=M3RT ⇒C=M3PV ⇒C=ρ3P ⇒P=3ρC2=31ρC2
