JEE Main & Advanced Physics Kinetic Theory of Gases Question Bank Topic Test - Kinetic Theory Of Gases-2

  • question_answer
    Consider a gas with density \[\rho \] and \[\bar{c}\] as the 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

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

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

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

    D) \[\frac{1}{3}\rho {{({{c}^{-2}}-v)}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

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