Question: Which of the following statements is true regarding RMS speed?

Options:

  1. It is always greater than average speed.
  2. It is always less than average speed.
  3. It is equal to average speed.
  4. It depends on the gas type.

Correct Answer: It is always greater than average speed.

Solution: 

RMS speed is always greater than average speed for a gas due to the nature of the calculations involved.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true regarding RMS speed?
  • Step 1: Understand what RMS speed means. RMS stands for Root Mean Square, which is a way to calculate the average speed of particles in a gas.
  • Step 2: Know that average speed is calculated by taking the total speed of all particles and dividing by the number of particles.
  • Step 3: Realize that RMS speed involves squaring the speeds of the particles, averaging those squares, and then taking the square root of that average.
  • Step 4: Recognize that squaring the speeds gives more weight to higher speeds, which means RMS speed will be influenced more by faster particles.
  • Step 5: Conclude that because of this squaring effect, RMS speed is always greater than the average speed for a gas.
