What is a RMS?

RMS stands for Root Mean Squared. It is this average voltage that is read on a multimeter.


What is meant by rms velocity?

rms means root mean square, or in a roundabout way the average. Therefore the average velocity or average speed (of a car?)


What temperature will xenon atoms have same average speed that Cl2 molecules have at 24 degrees C?

First you need to find the root mean square speed of Cl2 at 24 degrees C using the formula sqrt(3RT/Mm) where R is the gas constant, T is the temperature in K, and Mm is molar mass. Approximately 34.24 m/s. Now perform a simple algebra problem to solve for the temperature Xenon atoms will reach this speed.


Formula for speed of an object?

If an object is at rest then falls vertically you can use the formula Vsquared=Usquared+2AD (Sorry keyboard wont let me do the 2 for square)Where V = Final Velocity (speed),U=Initial velocity (at rest =0)A= Acceleration (9.81 metres/sec or 32ft/sec in imperial)S= Distance.An object on a shelf 3m above the ground falls. Speed on impact with the floor would beSquare root V= 0 squared+2*9.81*3: = 7.672m/sSpeed = Distance/Time (Distance divided by Time)Speed=distance/timeSpeed is measured in m/s (meters per second)You can calculate speed using the following formula :Speed = Distance/TimeExamples:distance=100 meters=20s s=d/ts=100m/20ss= 5m/sthe units for speed equal up to m/s units always.so then your speed is 5 m/s


Which term describes how fast the atoms in an object are moving?

If you are thinking on the atomic scale, we usually use the root mean square speed. On the macro scale this is reflected in the temperature.

How do you find the length of the leg of a triangle?

if you mean a right triangle then the formula is a squared + b squared = c squared. a and b are the legs and c is the hypotunese. the legs are the smallest number then the hypotenese. An example is a=3 , b= ? and c =5 use the formula : a squared + b squared = c squared 3 squared + b squared = 5 squared 9 + b squared = 25 -9 - 9 _________________________________________ b squared = 16 Then you have to take the squared root of 16 which is 4 and 4 is b squared.

Formula for surface area of a pyramid?

The surface area is length times width plus length. Then you find the square root of the width divided by two and then squared. You add this to the height squared plus the width. The width is multiplied by the square root of 1/2 squared plus the height squared.
