Suppose you had 10 identical molecules enclosed by a box. At a given instant, one molecule has an energy of 100 Joules, and the others are all stationary. (A) What is the average kinetic energy of the 10 molecules

the average kinetic energy of the 10 molecules is 10 J.

Explanation:

Given;

energy on one molecule in motion, E = 100 J

number of molecules, n = 10

(A) The average kinetic energy of the 10 molecules

since the remaining 9 molecules are at rest, their kinetic energy = 0

Therefore, the average kinetic energy of the 10 molecules is 10 J.
