VRMS-1 Consider a container of Argon gas at a temperature of 25.0 °C. The mass of an Argon
atom is 39.96 AMU, where 1 AMU = 1.66×10-27 kg.
(a) What is the average kinetic energy per Argon atom, in Joules (J)?
(b) What is the RMS average speed of the Argon atoms, in meters per second (m/s)?
(c) What would the temperature of the gas have to be for the RMS average speed to 275
m/s? Give your answer in degrees Celsius (°C).
In an industrial gun, when the trigger is pulled
a gas under pressure is released into the barrel
behind a ball of mass m. The ball slides smoothly
inside the barel and the force exerted by the gas
on the ball varies as
F. (1-)
Where L is length of the end of the barrel from the
initial position of the ball and x is instantaneous
displacement of the ball from its initial position.
Neglect any other force on the ball apart from that
applied by the gas. Calculate the speed (V) of the
ball with which it comes out of the gun.
