The average velocity of the molecules of a gas in a container, moving only along the x-axis, is

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

Velocity is a vector; along the x-axis as many molecules move in the +x as in the -x direction on average, so langle vₓ rangle = 0. √(8RT/π M) is the mean speed (scalar), not the mean velocity. Confirms Ans (d) Zero.
