(a) The liquid and gaseous state of chlorine are in thermal equilibrium at 239 K. Even though it is on the point of condensation, model the gas as ideal and determine the most probable speed of the molecules (in m/s). m/s (b) What If? At what temperature (in K) would an atom of radon in a canister of radon gas have the same most probable speed as the chlorine in thermal equilibrium at 239 K? K

Fifteen identical particles have various speeds: one has a speed of 2.00 m/s, two have speeds of 3.00 m/s, three have speeds of 5.00 m/s, four have speeds of 8.00 m/s, three have speeds of 9.00 m/s, and two have speeds of 14.0 m/s. (a) Find the average speed (in m/s). m/s (b) Find the rms speed (in m/s). m/s (c) Find the most probable speed of these particles (in m/s). m/s (d) What If? How many additional particles with a speed of 14.0 m/s must be added to the original fifteen particles for the average speed to become 10.0 m/s ? (Round your answer to at least the nearest integer.) particles (e) What would be the rms speed of the original plus additional particles (in m/s)? m/s

(a) A wire is held horizontally in a vacuum chamber, and carries a current of 1.85 μA. A proton is traveling in a direction parallel to the wire (opposite the current) with a constant speed of 2.90×104 m/s at a distance d above the wire. Ignoring the magnetic field due to the Earth, determine the value of d (in cm). cm (b) What If? At what distance d (in m) would an electron moving with the same speed as the proton move parallel to the wire? m What direction would the electron have to move? In the same direction as the proton. In the opposite direction as the proton. There is too little information to determine the direction.

(a) Imagine that a space probe could be fired as a projectile from the Earth's surface with an initial speed of 5.28×104 m/s relative to the Sun. What would its speed be when it is very far from the Earth (in m/s )? Ignore atmospheric friction, the effects of other planets, and the rotation of the Earth. (Consider the mass of the Sun in your calculations.) m/s (b) What If? The speed provided in part (a) is very difficult to achieve technologically. Often, Jupiter is used as a "gravitational slingshot" to increase the speed of a probe to the escape speed from the solar system, which is 1.85×104 m/s from a point on Jupiter's orbit around the Sun (if Jupiter is not nearby). If the probe is launched from the Earth's surface at a speed of 4.10×104 m/s relative to the Sun, what is the increase in speed needed from the gravitational slingshot at Jupiter for the space probe to escape the solar system (in m/s )? (Assume that the Earth and the point on Jupiter's orbit lie along the same radial line from the Sun.) m/s
