Kinetic Theory of Gas
The Kinetic Theory of gases is a classical model of gases, according to which gases are composed of molecules/particles that are in random motion. While undergoing this random motion, kinetic energy in molecules can assume random velocity across all directions. It also says that the constituent particles/molecules undergo elastic collision, which means that the total kinetic energy remains constant before and after the collision. The average kinetic energy of the particles also determines the pressure of the gas.
P-V Diagram
A P-V diagram is a very important tool of the branch of physics known as thermodynamics, which is used to analyze the working and hence the efficiency of thermodynamic engines. As the name suggests, it is used to measure the changes in pressure (P) and volume (V) corresponding to the thermodynamic system under study. The P-V diagram is used as an indicator diagram to control the given thermodynamic system.

### Explanation:
This part involves calculating the average velocity of the six-particle gas. The velocities are given in vector form, and the task is to find the components of the average velocity and then express the magnitude of the average velocity.
**Graphs/Diagrams:**
There are no graphs or diagrams provided in this example.
### Additional Information for Students:
- When calculating average velocities, remember to sum up the components of all individual velocities and divide by the number of particles to find the average components.
- To find the magnitude of the average velocity vector, use the formula:
\[
v_{\text{avg}} = \sqrt{(v_{x\, \text{avg}})^](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fa256fefa-da87-4b9d-ada9-af6adbfb8198%2Fd4b92107-343d-4686-b70c-7393a3d37726%2Fzdg2wsf_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
