Chapter 10, Problem 114AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The root mean square speed of $\text{Ne}$ atomis to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Kinetic energy is the energy generated from the motion of an object.

The kinetic energy is calculated as

$E_k=\frac{1}{2}m\overline{u^2}$

Here, m is the mass and $\overline{u^2}$ is the mean square speed of the object.

The S.I. unit for kinetic energy is joule (J).
