Here we will use a simple example to demonstrate the difference between the rms speed and the average speed. Five ideal-gas molecules chosen at random are found to have speeds of 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900 m/s. Find the rms speed for this collection. Is it the same as the average speed of these molecules

Light that is polarized along the vertical direction is incident on a sheet of polarizing material. only 96% of the intensity of the light passes through the sheet and strikes a second sheet of polarizing material. no light passes through the second sheet. what angle does the transmission axis of the second sheet make with the vertical?

Two 2.0-cm-diameter disks face each other, 1.0 mm apart. they are charged to ±10 nc. what is the electric field strength between the disks? a proton is shot from the negative disk toward the positive disk. what launch speed must the proton have to just barely reach the positive disk?

Both speed and velocity measure how fast something is moving. however, since speed is not a it does not require a(n question 6 options: a) quantity , unit b) magnitude, unit c) scalar, direction d) vector, direction
