How Do You Calculate Velocity From Temperature?
Gas atoms or molecules act almost independently of each other in comparison to liquids or solids, particles of which have greater correlation. This is because a gas may occupy thousands of times more volume than the corresponding liquid. The root-mean-square velocity of gas particles varies directly with temperature, according to the “Maxwell Speed Distribution.” That equation enables the calculation of velocity from temperature. Learn the derivation and application of the Maxwell Speed Distribution equation. That equation is based on and derived from the Ideal Gas Law equation: PV = nRT where P is pressure, V is volume (not velocity), n is the number of moles of gas particles, R is the ideal gas constant and T is the temperature. Study how this gas law is combined with the formula for kinetic energy: KE = 1/2 m v^2 = 3/2 k T. Appreciate the fact that the velocity for a single gas particle cannot be derived from the temperature of the composite gas. In essence, each particle has a diff
