The average kinetic energy of a molecule of the gas is
- proportional to absolute temperature
- proportional to volume
- dependent on the nature of the gas
- proportional to pressure
The Correct Option is A
Approach Solution - 1
Basic Theory
Translational K.E on average of a molecule is \(\frac{3}{2}KT\) which is independent of nature, pressure and volume
Approach Solution -2
Translational kinetic energy per molecule: \[ KE = \frac{3}{2} kT \] It is independent of nature, pressure, and volume.
Top Questions on kinetic theory
- The equation for the RMS velocity is given as \[ v_{\text{rms}} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M_0}} \] where \( R \) is the gas constant, \( T \) is the temperature, and \( M_0 \) is the molecular mass. If the temperature is increased, find the new RMS velocity \( v_{\text{rms}} \) when the temperature is doubled.}

Consider a rope fixed at both ends under tension so that it is horizontal (i.e. assume the rope is along x-axis, with gravity acting along z-axis). Now the right end is continually oscillated at high frequency n (say n=100 Hz) horizontally and in a direction along the rope; amplitude of oscillation is negligible. The oscillation travells along the rope and is reflected at the left end.
Let the total length of rope be l, total mass be m and the acceleration due to gravity be g.
After initial phase (say a mintue or so), the rope has __(BLANK-1)__ wave, which is __(BLANK-2)__ in nature. It results from superposition of left travelling and right travelling __(BLANK-3)__ waves. This resulting wave has a frequency __ (BLANK-4)_ that of oscillation frequency nu. Simple dimensional analysis indicates that the frequency of can be of the form: ___(BLANK-5)__ .- IIITH UGEE - 2024

Kinetic energy
Kinetic energy of an object is the measure of the work it does as a result of its motion. Kinetic energy is the type of energy that an object or particle has as a result of its movement. When an object is subjected to a net force, it accelerates and gains kinetic energy as a result. Kinetic energy is a property of a moving object or particle defined by both its mass and its velocity. Any combination of motions is possible, including translation (moving along a route from one spot to another), rotation around an axis, vibration, and any combination of motions.
