(a) | obeys Maxwell’s distribution. |
(b) | have the same value for all molecules. |
(c) | equals the translational kinetic energy for each molecule. |
(d) | is \(\frac{2}{3}\text{rd}\) the translational kinetic energy for each molecule. |
1. | (a), (b) | 2. | (a), (d) |
3. | (c), (d) | 4. | (a), (c) |
1. | the total energy per unit volume. |
2. | only the translational part of energy because rotational energy is very small compared to translational energy. |
3. | only the translational part of the energy because during collisions with the wall pressure relates to the change in linear momentum. |
4. | the translational part of the energy because rotational energies of molecules can be of either sign and its average over all the molecules is zero |
