21. Kinetic Theory of Ideal Gases / Average Kinetic Energy of Gases / Problem 6

In a physics simulation, four particles are moving with unique velocities as follows:
v1 = (10î - 20ĵ) m/s
v2 = (30î + 40ĵ) m/s
v3 = (-40î + 10ĵ) m/s
v4 = (20î - 30ĵ) m/s

Determine i) Average velocity (vavg), ii) Average speed (vavg), and iii) Root-mean-square velocity (vrms) of the particles in the simulation.
