Root-Mean-Square Velocity of Gases
21. Kinetic Theory of Ideal Gases / Root-Mean-Square Velocity of Gases / Problem 2

Brownian motion refers to the random motion of particles as they collide with fluid particles. A dust particle of mass 2.15 × 10-17 kg is suspended in air whose temperature is 308 K. Determine the root mean square speed of its Brownian motion.
