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 concrete building is built of slabs 12 m long\({\rm{(15^\circ C)}}\). How wide should the expansion cracks between the slabs the at \({\rm{(15^\circ C)}}\) to prevent buckling if the range of temperature is \( - 30{\rm{^\circ C}}\)to \(50^\circ {\rm{C}}\)
In humid climates, people constantly dehumidify their cellars to prevent rot and mildew. If the cellar in a house (kept at 20°C) has \({\bf{105}}\;{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\)of floor space and a ceiling height of 2.4 m, what is the mass of water that must be removed from it in order to drop the humidity from 95% to a more reasonable 40%?
a)\({\rm{18^\circ C}}\)below zero on the Celsius scale is what Fahrenheit temperature? b) \({\rm{18^\circ C}}\)below zero on the Fahrenheit scale is what Celsius temperature.
Question 12: The principal virtue of Pyrex glass is that its coefficient of linear expansion is much smaller than that for ordinary glass (Table 13–1). Explain why this gives rise to the higher heat resistance of Pyrex.
