Answer:

a) Average speed is 24.04 m/s

b) the rms speed is 25.84 m/s

c) the most probable speed is 16 m/s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

a) Determine the average speed.

To determine the average speed, we simply divide total some of speed by number of particles;

Average speed =  [(2×11 m/s)+(7×16 m/s)+(4×19 m/s)+(3×26 m/s)+(6×31 m/s)+(1×37 m/s)+(2×45 m/s)] / 25    

= 601 / 25

= 24.04 m/s

Therefore, Average speed is 24.04 m/s

b) Determine the rms speed

we know that  (rms speed)² = sum of square speed / total number of particles

so

(rms speed)² =  [(2×11²)+(7×16²)+(4×19²)+(3×26²)+(6×31²)+(1×37²)+(2×45²)] / 25

(rms speed)² =  16691 / 25

(rms speed)² =  667.64

(rms speed) = √ 667.64

(rms speed) = 25.84 m/s

Therefore, the rms speed is 25.84 m/s

c) Determine the most probable speed.

Most particles (7) have velocity 16 m/s

i.e 7 is the maximum number of particle for a particular speed ,

Therefore, the most probable speed is 16 m/s
