Question: (II)If the pressure in a gas is tripled while its volume is held constant, by what factor does\({v_{{\rm{rms}}}}\)change?
Short Answer
The rms speed changes by a factor of \(\sqrt 3 \).

Get started for freeA 0.50-kg trash-can lid is suspended against gravity by tennis balls thrown vertically upward at it. How many tennis balls per second must rebound from the lid elastically, assuming they have a mass of 0.060 kg and are thrown at 15 m/s?
A cubic box of volume \(6.15 \times {10^{ - 2}}\;{{\rm{m}}^{\rm{3}}}\) is filled with air at atmospheric pressure at 15°C. The box is closed and heated to 165°C. What is the net force on each side of the box?
Question:(II) A certain car has 14.0 L of liquid coolant circulating at a temperature of 93°C through the engine’s cooling system. Assume that, in this normal condition, the coolant completely fills the 3.5-L volume of the aluminum radiator and the 10.5-L internal cavities within the aluminum engine. When a car overheats, the radiator, engine, and coolant expand and a small reservoir connected to the radiator catches any resultant coolant overflow. Estimate how much coolant overflows to the reservoir if the system goes from 93°C to 105°C. Model the radiator and engine as hollow shells of aluminum. The coefficient of volume expansion for coolant is\({\bf{410}} \times {\bf{1}}{{\bf{0}}^{{\bf{ - 6}}}}\;{\bf{/^\circ C}}\).
(II) Compare the value for the density of water vapor at exactly 100°C and 1 atm (Table 10–1) with the value predicted from the ideal gas law. Why would you expect a difference?
