JEE Main & Advanced Physics Kinetic Theory of Gases Question Bank Self Evaluation Test - Kinetic Theory

  • question_answer
    Consider a gas with density \[\rho \] and \[\overline{c}\] as the root mean square velocity of its molecules contained in a volume. If the system moves as whole with velocity, then the pressure exerted by the gas is

    A) \[\frac{1}{3}\rho {{\bar{c}}^{2}}\]      

    B) \[\frac{1}{3}\rho {{\left( c+\nu  \right)}^{2}}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{3}\rho {{\left( \bar{c}-\nu  \right)}^{2}}\]       

    D)        \[\frac{1}{3}\rho {{\left( {{{\bar{c}}}^{2}}-\nu  \right)}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Pressure of the gas will not be affected by motion of the system, hence by \[{{v}_{rms}}=\sqrt{\frac{3P}{\rho }}\Rightarrow {{\bar{c}}^{2}}=\frac{3P}{\rho }\Rightarrow P=\frac{1}{3}p\bar{c}\]
